yay found it
which flavour?
omg dont get ruru onto the jello subject again lol
hi Lore
jelly not jello
same thing lol
rofl
*sigh* it must be late...I can't even figure out clues anymore :(
speaking of jello..........if you ever rent a motel room and fill the tub with hot water....... and dump in jello, and then a ton of ice to get it to set, DO NOT use grape it will stain the tub
***ruru thinks... boy are kiwi's kids in for a surprise in their lunch box... peanut butter and jello sandwiches***
this is NZ jelly greggs yummy even if I am biased Kiwi i made boysenberry
Kinky melaie... very kinky
right Mel (what on earth has she been doing!!!)
it was my ex husbands Idea LOL
hello Lynxxx and Frances anyone seen Andree lately I think it might be the weekend for moving?
oh dear i am off to the grid now its jello!!! lol
Hi lore
sex in a jello bathtub...hmm all you need is Bill Cosby for a commentator
not for a while Lore
hey lore isnt it a shame that americans just cant get their food words correct i mean jello = jelly jelly = jam lol
Jelly is not Jam........ Jelly is clear no seeds, Jam has seeds and is thick like pureed fruit silly Aussies
dont insult me rofl
WE call jelly jam and jello jelly
sounds like hubby likes to keep it interesting melaie.. he is a keeper
nah I tossed him out notice the EX lol he was a woman beating drunk
ROFL
same as their sauce /ketchup chips/fries
oh.. good thing then... coward

that is too bad..
i have a step father like that mel
ac 8/9 combo if not picked up yet
but they gave us Elvis so I overlook their small transgressions!!! lol
I am so glad they are finally listening to the women and tossing those meatheads in jail
Hey Stever erwins wife was from my town too so we gave you her too!
dont get me started on her
oo bad? I often wondered about that
yay mel didnt know that yes she is wonderful thankyou but I think she is coming home hope not we love her here
i just think shes milking it for all shes worth sorry
and exploiting the kids
hope not kiwi she seems true and bindi is her father through and through she just wants to carry on her dads legacy
could be right lore but it sure doesnt come over like that
hope so kiwi i always look for the good in everyone

wtg Dee :D Feels good, doesn't it. How are you all? Pinik! Welcome to the morning crew :)
ty lore howdy ho spritie sprite
don't mind the Q. THere is no K! *does very careful happy dance*
big shockarooo... still not very good at the huge words
just found a weird ma 5/18
Ruru has been bad Sprite been poking himself with pins, playing in Jello all kinds of things
thx sprite
trust you to tell on ruru mel lol
that is not being bad, mel, for ruru anyway. That is just his 'I can do voodoo all by myself' act.
*hugs lobo*
LOL lore I just beat you to it
spoton sprite
I been pudding up with a lot from those three I will tell ya sprite
beautiful icon, lobo!
well you dont know where he was sticking those pins, ~grins~
I've not one of the 3...I've just been watching!
minding my own business...
and loving every minute of it, right ruru? :)
...painfully pulling words out of this mess of a board!
kiwi got a bit carried away and a little too graphic for flosey
its all Kiwis fault her and her dang Jello
thanks sprite
ah, that bad huh, Pinik! Ok, we will see.
lol
sorry had to fix logans email account
dont giveup pini
aw :( I hate to see flosey distressed.
ugh I only have one of the in words
hey dont blame me lol you unlurked yourself and we couldnt help ourselves ruru lol
yeah until you mentioned acupuncture on genetailia
and flosey was a bit distressed before you started lol
just cause you couldnt decide which head you were popping with that big needle lol
lol Kiwi here we go again
*hugs flosey on a distance*
lol kiwi was flosey upset??? I think because she had visitors and the day had got away on her and she didnt have much time for babble thats all
if the needle is big enough, you can pop both at once
*** ruru patiently lets really sick joke pass right on by***
what distressed flosey? She was very strictly brought up
you wish ruru spritey just carried it on lol
i think flosey was just a bit out of it after her visitors
(I should be in bed)
jilli! *hugggs* Have you seen the theme list? We are well into the new year already. And you are right about learning new stuff with it. I learned something from today's theme.
me too I have nopt gotten a word in an half hour with all this jibing fro kiwi
<--- is thinking maybe she should go have her first drink for the nite lol
or maybe not
OHHHHHHHHHHHHH
flosey is a darling. And has a right to her own preferences and off-moments ;)
hi sprite -- glad you're enjoying it -- I haven't had any babbletime today and have laready left once -- need this unwinding so I can sleep
im more worried about herin who is out of sorts and even got shirty at me earlier
I just love flosey -- lovely lady
yeah not sure what was up with that, I didnt know what to say so I just kept quiet
and thats why i backed out of it too
lol jilli, you should compare our icon text :D You go unwind here, and I will sing you a lullaby.
so now I shall escape, not knowing what you're talking about :)
kiwi please donot be upset with Herin she says things she doesnt mean in the way it comes across give please bear with her shes a beautiful soul who has a very big heart
go read that 11 pmish chat Sprite and see if you can figure it out
oh i know lore it just suprised me that i got it
lady needs a lot of room, Kiwi. When she is under stress, she can say things that come out the wrong way. She'll be back and all will be different soon.
we all love flosey we all love jilli and babbleland would not be babbleland without them so be it write it in the record books
oh gee as if we didnt get enough hailstones this morning they are back again
no Kiwi, these are all new ones
it is in the babble law books, lobo :)
lol spritey you wanna go back and read my earlier chat about the drive to work i had lol
carved in the grid too dont ya think spritey lol
Raining hailstones in Upper Hutt probably for the mentioning of jello,ketchup etc say no more lol
hehehe, if I would go back and read all the chat, I wouldn't have time to babble!
absolutely, Kiwi!
no its ruru revenge lol
jilli, are you going to poof or will you hang around for a little bit?
sprite, I did just now compare our texts -- as you can see, I added a bit and subtracted a bit. I get a bit sick of the constant deriding of the former British Empire, which did a lot of good in its day, and sacrificed itself in WW2
yes, that caught my eye as well, jilli. Only the bad gets attention, it seems.
sprite, I MUST repoof -- house-painter arriving at the crack of dawn and I need sleep. It's hard for a night-owl to adapt.
absolutely, jilli, but you are doing a great job :) Sleep well and rest even better. *hugs*
hello all, 298 seems a bit excessive...
{{{sweet dreams jill}}}
sending those sweet dreams again to you jilli hugs
stiddie! *hug*
nini again Jilli get some sleep and sweet dreams
stiddy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! hugs happy babbling and its not too bad 2 hours for me at 58 left
mind you ive been doing too much defending myself from the ruru attack lol
*would kill for aquatic*
stidkid's opening night went really well... he was a bottle dancer in the wedding scene for Fiddler on the Roof... and his bottle stayed on his hat! (no tape) *very proud mama look*
what are you doing up at this hour, stiddie?
go stidkid go
yeah, we know how you were defending yourself from ruru's attack, Kiwi. We heard you. "Don't, ruru, don't, I like it too much!"
I don't know if it's meaningful that the first word I saw was qu4/7?
ohhhhh wtg stidkid!
just got home from the opening night cast party, Jill. Going to turn in soon, I promise.
oh jeepers lol
lollll jilli, repoofproof lady
now see what youve done ruru
or have you gone into hiding again
LOL good night jilly dear!
good NIGHT, all! I'll dream of the gymnastics I'm watching too
guess he did a runner and didnt tell us lol
REAL POOF!
ya must remind me one day to let ruru know what his name means lol - its the maori word for morepork - native owl
A through P all done with 62 left

I am UP to 62...
qu words are killing me!
lobo, are you still here?
need a hand mel?
watch the Kiwi hand, it might hold a needle, mel...
lobo, dear lobo!
give me a few more its the 8,9,6 all in a row strugging with
i've only got 6 myself, mel
ya know spritey everyone thought it was good to have a nice big grid with q words in it until i suggested for your sake it would be even better having a k in it as well lol
mel think choo choo
ooooh. bad kiwi! PB until you eat this whole pile of chocolate!
thanks for the tr!
and the 6 doesnt have anything to do with the 8/9 before it or after it
I happen to like this grid :P
ooo got the 8/9
typoed it but what the heck lol
id go anywhere for chocolate lol
I have the choochoo but that is a 5/6
is the 6 3rd letter the 1st vowel or 3rd?
add a qu* in front spritey
the first mel
k thank you
ah, LOL! I was looking for an TR biggie. Thanks Kiwi
brb
sounds like a singer called suzie q but change the last vowel
here Sprite just swapping over the boys 3pm everyday and checking chat ... what jilli said i put in the grid several times so now she has mentioned it I can agree felt it was a little one sided and as we are british people england being our motherland and all I was a little perturbed
thanks for the qu biggie!
hey lore
good old Suzi bass guitarist as well wasnt she
did kiwi and sprite get their emails from me yet?
doh got it money with the wrong ending
hello stid
quata
back to PB

loboooooo! The book arrived. I am crying. And smiling. THank you SO much!
hey, peeps

goodnight stid see you next time take care
wb tyger thought you had gone to bed lol
nini Stiddy sweet dreams
so quick i am getting tingles all over
night stiddie, sleep well and dream proud dreams of the stidkid!
hey spritey see arrived in special time on special courier lol
incredible, isn't it, lobo? And when I just read the chapterlist, I started to shake.
trying to work off the snack with late pills. I'm going a bit bonkers over the ha7. I tried hastati; every so often they stick in good Latin words :) - no joy :(
don't know how to say thank you so you'll know how happy you made me... thank you!
why can't you add ic to the end of the ae 8/40?
but hastati will *certainly* appear in the list of tomorrow's "not in Enable" post on the message board
well I did tell you I was told to send it to you lol
extend the musical instrument tyger
hello tyger
i tried that earlier dee lol
OK...I'm off to bed for now...123 words down / 175 left to go...cya tmw! ;)
Princess its all yours!!!!!!!
dee, it's cause there's no s next to the last t
I honestly thought that was a valid word, kiwi...hmmm
goodnightPini
hey, lore
re ties
shit, sorry
too bad douglas isn't here; he could anser... or book
nite pin sweetest dreams
I tried the comparative of the stringed musical instrument, but Lickety's page wouldn't take it :(
it is simply perfect, lobo, and you already knew that. Thanks. *hug*
night Pinik!
nini Pin rest well
then I checked OneLook, and according to them, it ain't a word :(
yep !!! hugs Princess
hi tyger, missed your entry, sorry.
its a plural ending tyger
that comparative was what you were suggesting, wasn't it, kiwi
oops! thx
sorry tyger tho i am brainy i dont know the meaning of comparative words lol
and lickety's not taking that, either. and ha4ie is a word, in a Niven/Pournelle series/universe :frown, frown:
the adverb meaning more so, kiwi ;)
enable is just a pr4 lol
LOLOL (hearty laugh)
no i take that back enable is just an ar4 like my ex lol
most Murkans don't know that word, kiwi, but I read a lot of British authors
ROFL
hail enable, giving us ancient words to remember, made-up words to laugh at, missing words to frown over and something to yell against every day!
wow, thanks for the laughs!
oh how profound sprite and oh so true
oh, spritey, you're such a sweetie
so generous and forgiving
and I still don't know what to do with ha8 :grump:
Kiwi, Atalante has this slogan on her MSN that I love, and yesterday I watched the series Torchwood and found that is where it came from. You will love it, thinking of your ex: Sometimes I think even that stick up your ar4 has a stick up its ar4!
no ha 8 tyger
I have to say, if babble every would switch to another dictionary or even another version of this one, I would hate it. I have grown to love to hate enable :)
that's what I thought: ha7
ohhh i like that spritey and i havent managed to watch torchwood yet as its on too late but its on my list of things to download soon
is there an an8?
and that's why I tried the comparative on the stringed instrument
np dee
no even
it is a brilliant series, Kiwi, and isn't it a great quote :D
nope, no an8
tyger that the ha4ie and make it a plural and there is your 7
ty thot it was in chat... thx for saving me wasted time
largest an is a 6
ty, ty, tyvvm, (((kiwi)))
Dee, someone may have said an 8 :) I have done many invain searches for things like that.
now, I'll try for a few more words, then to bed. nytol
ac8/9 combo?
hey jwr ac 8 is another word for getting to know someone/something new
lol... happens all the time to me sprite... now I've learned to ask you or kiwi :~)
lol, same here, Dee!
bleh that 3rd sa 5/10 was a pain to find
gee you wouldnt have thought that earlier dee i got herin confused and im not sure how i did that lol
couldn't resist coming back to sing: getting to know you, getting to know all about you ac8 ;D
I have qu 4 x 3; qu 6 x 4; qu 5 x 2; qu 7 x 2; qu 8 ... missing?

helping a local attorney with formatting, designing, putting together contracts... boring for lots, but I can work from home, email end product... hopefully it will be long term through part of winter
has to be better than the one my boss threw at me today - go through the 6000 odd contacts in our cms program and contact them all and find out if they are still active rofl
will give me a focus
sounds like a big job kiwi
nice to be able to work at home doing it
yay Dee, good project! Will send up my wishes with yours that it may last.
congrats volley prayers said will repeat tonight for your dentist
big boring and well below me and my skills roflol
it has been a blessing... just hope I can do it for long term... usually only make it short term...
hehehe Kiwi, too true. But it has to be done anyway...
oh, lore ty ty... guess what
kiwi you will become a tape recording delegate
your baby got her job
oh no lore i have to email them all to save money on the toll calls lol
talked to him last night... it is stage 4 lung cancer, but right now doctors are baffled; he's had chemo treatments every 3 weeks; supposed to have lost hair, lost 25 pounds; not supposed to feel well, but he said none of that has happened yet; asked us to keep praying for complete healing
delegate hire a secretary !!!
we will, Dee. Every day. *hugs*
i could delegate to dee now thats an idea lol
ty sprite... he is such a wonderful man. Helped me tremendously by diagnosing TMJ probs before it had a name; treated me and our daughter... LOL that would be cool... email from around the world...
yep fly her over to NZ
we will volley
and thats firewords for me
wtg Kiwi!
lore, daughter also had her final 3 interviews... supposedly she is down to last 2 candidates and should find out in 2 weeks if she will be offered job; pray that no matter what she will accept decision with joy and move forward WOW kiwi... still 71 left here

sprite our new poet lol
Morning! Just on while I have breakfast... then MUST clean my house.
Monkey!
howdy monkey... did Walter have his doc appt yet?
i would hate to see this site turn into a race against time and people to finish first it would destroy all we have which is unique
ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh big thunder and lightning
morning monkey hows walter
lol lobo, I can rhyme... but that doesn't make me a poet yet.
kia ora MG hugs happy babbling
some of us talk too much for that to happen lore lol
lobo, me too. And I will not participate. Nor will many others. So don't worry :D
oh im definately not racer material lol
yeah im one of them dee lol
oh kiwi go put your head under the blankets
nup lore i love em
race or not, kiwi; you are fast :~)
Must hunt down an icon. Sprite, package arrived; must teach ourselves how to use it. Dee, saw the doctor on Tuesday. Walter is doing better an dbetter. Yesterday he started off with an off day so I got all over-worried again, but he's really on the mend. We may never know what it was...
geesh finally found the elusive te 7 lol
yay volley
hey usually your finished before me dee but you were late tonight lol
glad to hear it monkey try not to worry too much the kids pick up on that too hugs monkey
but no bad news... just need to muddle thru it? right? I was worried about both of you.
just give it time, MonkeyG. The instructions are on the back of the box, it is really simple. Just make 4 loops, and then hold the thread over one, pick up the loop from last round, pull it over the thread and you made a new loop. And round, and round, and round....
last word and cant seem to get it, AS 7/32 please
hey kiwi you remember that we used to call it finger knitting
Yes, "just some virus" and now although pale and tired he's much more himself and eatinmg like he hasn't seen food in a year.
Sprite, he's at daycare so I'll fiddle with it between houseclening an dteach him how when he gats home.
i remember doing that as a kids lol
it is not finger knitting, it is french knitting, lobo. With a little doll.
so glad to hear monkey!! sounds like great fun
mel - –adjective 1. unstable; unsteady. 2. Physics. having no tendency to take a definite position or direction.
lovely, Monkey. Hope he will enjoy it.
kiwi did you used to do the dutch skipping with double ropes?
oh you mean the cotton reel with four nails and you knit down the hole?
He was very excited to get something with his name on it.
dutch skipping??
yes Kiwi, that is the one!
not me lore i wasnt in the in crowd at primary school so was never invited lol
double dutch
ah good, MonkeyG, that was what we wanted for him :)
kids used to do that french knitting too but I had to do the proper knitting as instructed by my mum
Thanks again!
I did it all, and I still do, lol
i knit good but knit cackhanded lol
knitting skipping or both
my pleasure, Monkey, really. It was just sitting in my cupboard :D
i love doing the picture patterns like geometric shapes or pictures but cant stand doing cable n such like
knitting is fun if you can learn it in a relaxed way
same here kiwi my mum used to get really upset for not doing it correctly and i used to knit so tight it squeaked on the needles this was at the age of 3yrs
hey lore are you related to me in some way shape or form lol
ty kiwi found the as 7
got it finally..........fireworks
do you go under and over or over and under?
well we both have a nana called alma ????
such a shame if you learn it under pressure :( It is such a nice thing to do.
lol that we do
woopee!!! well done mel
must be it then
woohoooo wtg mel ^5
wtg mel
we sisters in babble too!!! lol
wtg Mel!!!! Well done!
thank you
my nana lived at 6 shepherd grove taita did your nana live there too???
we are all related in more ways than one :)
and mel, LOL @ your icon!

OK, new icon!
wow kiwi how wonderful ,do you still have plunket nurses there?
beautiful icon, MonkeyG!
we do
Thanks! Cute kid, eh?
hey MG i keep meaning to say its so nice to see you in all your glory with big thanks to herin :)
That was SO nice of her!
yep monkey
I love it. Lady was given her pro ship by Jade and now she gives it on to MonkeyG. It is the way the world should work.
still thinking i should start that collection up for lickety even tho he doesnt want it at the moment
has he gotten back to you at last, Kiwi?
kiwi was that crunchie ad the one on the train
no not yet
yes lore
sin bin for lobo :D
i donated him some money last year just as a thank you and i think it shocked him lol
hasnt sent me expert download either cause i can open his one it sucks without word list so slow
oh but spritie had to ask cause that ad has my first love in it
lore ill send you the link if you want he resent it to me this week so i could get it onto this computer
ah, wonderful, Kiwi! I didn't have the link anymore and I uploaded it for lobo, but she couldn't open the exe from the download.
if you dont mind sprite sent me one but for some unknown reason it wont open
I need to see it, lobo :D
on its way to both of you
that ad must be 30 odd years old right kiwi
at least i think lore
can anyone help with the second in 6/21?
I have only one, just in6 you need that one.
dee something that doesnt break after an accident is said to be in6/21
ty ty...
yep thats my man he wrote all the music for Sleeping dogs movie you might be a little young for that and also music and lyrics for once were warriors... he mostly writes jingles for the TV ads now
i remember that movie
yay for lobo's first love!
whats his name lore if you dont mind me asking
OK, done with my salad. I'll put in just a few more minutes here an dthen do housework until my back says take a break... I put way too much garlic in that dressing. Tasted great but my mouth is burning!
Murray Grindlay lived in Glen Innes Auckland when he was 18 formed a band called the Underdogs I was sent to wellington to live with my nana and worked with her at HMV all cause he was a band member and no good for me always will care for him
ah, thanks Kiwi, sweet of you to send it to me too! Will keep it in a safe place.
lolol MonkeyG... very tasty! And you will smell... but it is worth it.
I nearly always smell like garlic. One reason I don't worry a lot about lyme disease...
aw lobo, that is sad. *hugs*
i think i know the name- did a little stint in tv land a few years back for the kiwi arm of southern star endemol
endemol... now that is dutch
so back to my thought - what do you think of me starting up a donation link for lickety anyways with a $5US value?
well endemol is a dutch tv company spritey and they own part of southern star tv company in oz
I know, Kiwi :D
you shouldn't ask me atm, I got trampled on by Lickety and that hurt. But if you do, I will contribute, of course.
ok ill ponder it a bit more over the weekend
<---- depressed as NZ still hasnt won a medal yet lol
dont give up kiwi we always come in late fingers crossed for our country
yeah a know but its been a week already lol
anyways im off for the eve time to curl up with my blankie and dig in for a miserable nite
it is the participating, not the winning that counts :)
happy babbling all see ya tomorrow day
bye Kiwi *hugs*
Bye Kiwi!
see you tomorrow kiwi thanks for being you til then bye
byeeeeeeeeeee
awww shucks lore
poof
sends hugs across the tasman yes dutch sprite to kiwi
dear lobo :D
hey those dutch they went everywhere didnt they?
oh yes, it is amazing in how many countries you find traces of the dutch.
OK, none of my tiles start with 0 (except the ones that started that way), so that's a good stopping point for housecleaning. Off with me, and have fun everyone!
many dutch colonies in earlier days alot of dutch people in New Zealand
wtg MonkeyG!
Oh but if we're talking about the Dutch going places I have a related story...
please tell monkey
do tell, MonkeyG!
snap sprite
The Dutch are onlyu peripherally involved. But... when the pilgrims went to the US they stopped for a few seasons in Leiden, the Netherlands. There they inscribed their names on a wall where they can still be read.
hehehe, again, lobo :)
Among those was a Hinton, chief doctor on the Mayflower. He is a direct ancestor of mine. Then they sailed to Plymout Rock.
wow Monkey!
wow monkey
amazing thanks for sharing monkey
I was born in a house overlooking Plymout Rock, and I emmigrated to the Netherlands. So I made sure to go to that church in Leiden, and look up at Mr. Hinton's name, and say, "Nice try, but it didn't work-- we're starting to come back now!"
brb
lol monkey that is so fantastic
Anyway, if I don't start cleaning the house now I may not do it... so poof!
bye monkey see you next time
am sorry, did not mean to run out on the story. Had to make a run for the toilet.
great story, MonkeyG! It is special.
ok hope you made it
yeah, just. Bad night, worse dreams and a lot of pain, that always sets it off. Overload, I guess.
oh Sprite so sorry to hear that do you suffer from digestive problems?
usually not, lobo, but it seems to be the way my body reacts to an overload of triggers (?)
sorry to sound so ignorant but i donot know your medical ailments
time for me to vamooose... need to try to sleep again... (unfortunately...mine reacts the opp way)... luv ya guys cya the flip *poof*
have a damaged pelvis from pregnancies and births, and ptss from my childhood.
tyx for all your help and byeeeeee
diarrohea is caused from stress trust me
sleep well, Dee, and rest better :)
bless you volley see you next time
yes, and I am easily stressed, alas. Nervous system is always on the alert, ready to go to red alarm instantly.
but not complaining, things could have been a lot worse and I can manage.
I'm the same, sprite. Have IBS, stomach ulcers, insomnia, you name it. But we stumble on and still manage to enjoy thngs in life, don't we?
we definitely do, hydra! And manage to write some good stuff in the mean time as well. :D
Did you get it? That chapter? I know it's not your kind of thing, but was it OK?
I got it and I will email you about it, need to read it once more. And yes, it is good. It may not be your usual genre, but your quality is just as good in this one.
Thanks so much, sprite.
Hi all.
can you smell the cake? I decided to bake a double fudge chocolate cake lol
hiya Jac!~*hug*
Jacula!!!! Are you back from your hols?
hello Jac and Hydra hugs
put it in the middle of babble once it is done, mel :D
yummy mel
Meliae, my mouth is watering!
Hello all who came in while I was off baking
Hydra - I came back last Sunday. I'll tell all later. LOL
you here from your holiday address, Jac?
ah, I see :) Forget my post.
Sprite - no. I'm home.
Mel - cake sounds nice. Which reminds me I should eat something.
welcome home, Jac :)
Thanks sprite. ((Hugs))
I should of made something more healthy but it has been so hot and we have not had cake for a long time I dont like to bake when it is so hot
Did you have a good time, or were you rained out, Jac?
Hydra - you can send me that chapter now.:-)
Hydra - rained out.
Will do. I've already inflicted it on sprite.
I think it is very healthy to have unhealthy things once in a while
OOps! That naughty Hydra made me say a word!
roflol Jac
Yes, man cannot live on lettuce alone.
Oops! Mea culpa. I hadn't seen that word yet. Into the PB with me. (Crash)
Man would have terrible wind if he tried living on the lettuce diet. :-)
Man DOES have terrible wind. Well, mine does!
because damn it, man is no rabbit. Enfin, l'homme n'est pas un lapin. Afijn, een mens is geen konijn.
LOL, Hydra. (Don't they all?)
I think they all do!
I think it's one way of proving their masculinity. The bigger, noisier and smellier, the more macho they are! Like bears in a cave.
Well, that's put me off my porridge!
Ooh sprite, thou art multilingual.
lol hydra, does it show? ;)
Only have half the q words and can't see any more. I can't believe there are 14 of them.
even some biggies, hydra
I've got 9 of them so far (the q words).
You're doing better than me. How about you, meliae?
I have a q7 and 8.
mel has them all
Oh, clever mel! Maybe chocolate improves the brain.
I have Q7/8 combo x 2 and q8/9 combo x 1
8 and 9? Blimey! I'd better start concentrating.
Hmm, I have a q7 but not the other biggies. I'll go and have some breakfast and see if that recharges my brain cells. 124 words left to find. BBS.
sorry what do you need?
See you later!
enjoy, Jac, and have a grand day
It's early days yet. I'll struggle on alone for a while, I think, but thanks for the offer, mel.
was catching up on e-mails did someone need a clue?
ok hydra
not me, mel, thanks. I told the others you had all the Qs. And all the rest :)
checking my list for forgotten plurals, it is terrifying. Where was my mind while I was playing?
You were too busy chatting!
I usually am, but that usually turns out better than now, lol
Ghastly builders noises coming from next door. I'm leaving for now. Happy babbling!
bye hydra, good luck with that!
ok hydra see you later
and fireworks for me
Hi sprite, Maddison has written Caya a letter - but hasn't sent it just yet
And - I think I need to setup some more videos?
yay Sprite that was fast
a
I think Caya has a half finished letter to Maddison as well, with pics of our dog to be. Kiwi sent you a lot of new vids.
thanks mel :)
woopee well done sprite
thanks lobo :D
And Kiwi has sent you an email about solving the Google pages problem as well, Lickety. I have not, since you were not at all interested in my posts. But Kiwi's should be worth reacting to, I think.
Good Morning Everyone... albeit, rather late.
hi elder :) *hug* How are you today?
Sprite, just seen your finished!! well done !!! ... have you been up sine the crack of dawn ?. :::))
no, not at all, this was a quick grid for me. Some weirdos, but they were clued in chat.
good morning elder hugs
Sprite. I am ok, a bit achy and not too much sleep, but here and that is good :)
have the feeling I just don't get through to Lickety. Call me overly sensitive, but it happens all the time. I think I've had enough of this.
ah, same here, elder. Some days are tough starters. Take it slow :)
MY back, did not allow me return yesterday, but will attempt to finish this one ( as its relatively easy -- Sprite :::))
Hello Lore, your icon is colourful today... :)
still it is good you listen to your back when it says it is enough, elder. Good for you.
well, I am off. Have fun today and be good to yourselves. *hugs*
thanks elder was having a problem with this theme saying earlier as felt a little odd though tried to stasy neutral
have a wonderful day Sprite ((HUGS))
Sprite, not always... I do push myself sometimes, not easy but I have too , or else I think I would never get off the bed /chair..... and I need and want to get back to work... I get so fed up ....
Take care Princess hugs to you see you next time big slobbery lick from lobo
*scratches lobo behind the ears* *hugs mel back* *tells elder she understands... so well! HUG*
Loves ya Princess so does the book sender
Oh, Sprite... so early... but have a good day and catch you later maybe? .. * hugs *
thats nice spritie make me start howling any minute
Passes.... tissues to Lore... :)
not crying elder howling like a wolf you see sprite and moonwold they call me lobo cause of my love for lobos(Wolves) clear as mud huh!lol
Lore, Oh I understand... is Lobos Australian slang for a wolf .. or just your own made up word .
lobo is spanish for wolf
Hi again VEEERRRRRYYYYY briefly... Just taking a quick break to rest the back and think about what toys Walter could have in his room now that he's old enough.
Oh is it.. I don't do Spanish... Dutch... actually any other language except for a little French.. Says to self that look bad .. :(
I do not speak aussie slang as I was reared as a kiwi and we had very strict english teachers that made sure we spoke properly only sometimes speak slanf in herin
hi mokey just missed sprite
ooops slang not slanf that is a madeup word lol
Walter's room is up some stairs far too steep to allow him free access to, you see, so he plays downstairs all day, but now when he can't sleep he needs some entertainment, and also when I am cleaning up there and stuff.
Hello Monkey.. It woulds be dependant on what time of day he plays in his room and if alone or with others .
Oh dang, missed Sprite. Oh well, we'll catch up with each other again, and she's coming over sometime soon to let the kids hang out and teach me to knit...
Yes, Elder, what I need is toys with no choking hazard that are good for brief play. So far he already has his giuant legos up there, and I am for sure taking up the take-care-of-the-puppy set with kennel.
hello everyone hope you are all well!! (including Walter)
He also already has a LOT of stuffed animals up there.
Lore, I like you, was taught no slang words, so any that I know have been as I have aged.. from other people..
All the big board books are going up, for sure.
Hi Sandy! Yes, tahnk you, Walter is getting better steadily now, with occasional off days. My back is... well, a bit better.
Hello Sandy..
But no marbles, for example.
Did he have that kissing disease that he must have picked up at kindergarten?
And nothing that plays loud noises.
Turns out no, the test was negative. So we may never know what this was.
hi sandyloo another sandgroper welcome
Well that is good news
Oops, dog whining to go out... that's my cue. Catch you folks on my next break!
Monkey.. the general rules are, toys that are safe, toys that are of interest and fun, Books, but not anything too stimulating if its before bedtime .
later monkey
Yes, and also nothing he loves so much it'll have to be lugged downstairs again every mornoing... *poof*
sandy our city is in the grid today
Lore, apart from howling like a wolf, how are you today..
hello Lore and I see you are from Perth as well!!
Thanks for that Lore!
perth
not bad elder sorry to hear your back is causing you so much pain
Unfair advantage, to Australians .. I must protest!!..
no i not aussie they call me a south sea pom so guess that makes me in the middle lol
Lore, thanks its one of those ongoing agony situations ... hopefully it will get sorted and I can start to get my life back on track ...or at least some of it :)
I am a 6th generation Aussie so Im definitely for real. However, where would we be without the Poms!!
Lore, were you born in the ocean.. Zealand ? ..another place.?
Elder I feel for you, my daughter suffers chronic pain from constantly dislocating shoulders so I can relate. She is only young though and it's terrible
born in NZ thats why they call us south sea poms
Sandy... happier .. don't know !! LOL
Sandy poor lass...
i am a pirate though that might be the south sea connection lol
She has had a total of 6 reconstructions on both shoulders caused by taking Tramadol and having seizures
Lore, so how long have you lived in Australia , if you don't mind me asking ..
Lore we always think of you Kiwis as pirates.
sandy you should of been here yesterday the theme was olympic equestrian dressage you would of loved it many beautiful horses
Sandy.. tramadol.effects ! .. good grief ! she has been through it .. awful for her and you >>
since 1981 elder
I have four words... due to chatting... :)
That's life isn't it. I have 75 but I have never had fireworks.
Fair while... .. do still have family in Zealand and visit occasionally..
in the same boat dont mean to be rude just need to get back to the grid as i donot have expert therefore no help and need to feed the kids shortly
I would love to go to NZ and we will soon I hope.
family everywhere elder australia england new zealand
Lore , I am also going to put head into grid and will come up for air every so often... catch you later.. good luck. *hugs * :)
Lore, spreading wide.. that's good thing - free holidays:)
hope your back improves elder and sooner before later hugs to you goodluck with the grid
i dont travel elder too many animals to look after and one son still at home
Lore, you never know .. one day ... perhaps..
sandyloo hope you love it as much as I love Perth
Lore, thanks for kind message.. most appreciated.. :)
when the time is right elder
Lore we have lots of animals we live on 8 acres the horse in the icon is ours
your welcome elder
I love Perth too, it's a great place but then there are lots of great places in Aus
thought it might be its a beautiful horse too.. very true seen a lot of them only Tassie to go saving that one
Tassie is fabulous, great wines and scenery I believe it's a bit like NZ
So they say I am finding the heat is getting too much my ancestors are all from the northern hemisphere so donot like hot weather feeling it more each year
Me too!! That is the worst thing about Perth. This winter has been great but it's very cold out here lately. I love the rain but the heat is very tedious

hello Jac.
Hi, everyone.
hi
Hi Jac. Long time no see. Trust you are well.
Hi Jac
going to go do some chores come back later might get to see scrabs shes back from holiday have fun I still have 100 to go
Sorry, I'd wandered off to pour te4.
Yes, I'm well thanks, Frances.
Back again briefly! Raise you hand if this sounds like you... "Hmmm, I seem to be feeling a bit better so it must be time to Seriously Overdo It!" Walter's room looks great though.
Bye Lore... have a good day * hugs* :)
bye lore
'Bye for now, Lore.
Bye lore
Monkey.. Goal achieved... :)
Monkey - time to sit down for a while now.
That's just what I'm doing!
I need to close up the shop for 5 mins to nip up the road and buy me some lunch - back soon, have fun all
LOL. You could have been Babbling standing up.
TTFN, Liz.
anyone have clues for ti 5/12 and ti 6/18
Didn't mean it to sound like "You should know...". Sorry!
No offence taken, Monkey.
Bye Liz.. treat yourself to a good lunch >>:)
with a brownie in it
I've been known to Babble standing up; that way I can pretend I'm not shirking my chores.;-)
I moved up some things like his little toy dog-care set, all his character stuffies (Dora and Boots, the Wonder Team, Diego and Baby Jaguar), and rearranged his furniture so he can lean on the wall as a headboard and generally made it more big-boy-ish in there. He'll be next to the radiator now but even in winter these don't get hot enough to cause even minor burns.
ti 5 12 is a bit of medicine
Books. Took up lots of board books.
[often has ure ending]
Ti 5/10 and 6/18 Mythology - giants - strenght.
'strength'
good clue nDan
Hey Jac! Look at your icon! Ialmost went with Thelwel yesterday!
got that one ndan thanks
lone top A?
got the giant ones thanks
Sandy, did you get ti 's
Monkey - I love Norman Thelwell's illustrations.
Good :)
I love thelwell too.
hello everyone!
Kje..A4 you say this when the penny has dropped
Hello Annie.
not the one's i want thanks elder
kje, ai 4/4
Oh me too! Grew up on them. Two of my favorites are the people just smoothing out the last of the concrete when the fox runs over it; they're glaring at the fox but the entire hunt is coming up in the background-- and the one with the two foxhunts meeting in the valley and all the dogs ar efighting.
Hi Jacula, Nice to see you
add r to front of ai4, get weather in england
TY, got it... but what is the penny thing?
Oh and there's a lot to be said for the one where the last of teh sheep are being herded past the car on the little country lane, with the people inside sound asleep...
actually I have got them!! thanks all
taking a break.. hope to return later...
The penny dropping means you suddenly understand, kje.
Bye Elder!
aaaahhh - like that you mean?
Have to go and make my lord and master his dinner.
'Bye Elder.
had never heard that expression
...and Sandy.
It's English.
Here, in Dutch, a quarter falls.
kje - the penny finally dropped is like the saying, 'a lightbulb went on in my head'.
Good Morning all, may I have help please for the 10 and the 9's
Yes, exactly!
here, the cradle falls - LOL
brb
hi peri, bye jacula
TY jac
peri, ac 9 ---to get to know someone

*patting annie on head too*
ooo - soft hair annie
LOL, conditioner

it is early here yet : )

morning ladies:)
OK, looks like although I overdid it I have not actually made my back worse-- just more tired. Wanted to wait a bit to be sure. I still have to get the upstairs really clean and safe; I think Walter's ready to have the gate off his door.
Hi Cross!
stop now MG!
the rest can wait until tomorrow... or later
You're righ, of course. OK, I bow to common sense and medical opinion.
He can keep the gate through the weekend.
Hi crossy
just cuz you squeaked by this time doesn't mean you have to go push it - so knock it off!!! : )
nice,a monster grid:((
hi cross
You're right of course. I just have a problem with a combination of really enjoying getting things done if I indeed get started and a high pain tolerance.
Many people do not realize the problems that can come with a high pain tolerance.
E on bottom row? everything I enter seems to come off other E
correct MG - pain is there to warn you
I have e***while, jke
kje, er 4/4--formerly
Yes, and often I seek medical attention for things -- like this back-- later than others would due to a higher tolerance. Then I have to deal with a longer recovery.
TY (again) annie
and kris!
On the other hand it keeps my painkiller use down.
Just ibuprofin for this one, for the record. I very rarely have anything prescription around.
of course now I have to look for the other one! Thanks, kje!
es8.45 is off the bottom too
Good morning Babble Buddies.
it is like stream of consciousness over there MG - LOLOL
hello again
Hi!!!
hi scrab!
HI Scrabs, how was your vacation

Hi Scrabbs and lynxxxie
Sorry...

oops - time to shower and go to work. happy babbling, all! *poof*
Bye Kris!
Oh good! Whew.
clue for the es8 please or any 8 :-) only have ac8
MG - if you bugged me, I would ignore you... never take what I say so seriously... now, if I stop talking to you, that is another matter : )
op8 -- like a musical production
Vacation was wonderful, glorious, great, renewing, recharging, magical....my head is still there in the Adirondack Mtns.
Gotcha.
es8 is a spanish cattle ranch - ! let me work out a clue
And I am still scratching my numerous bug bites.
sheesh, thanks for the op8 already had the base word
glad you had a good time Scrabs
That was good enough for me, Lynxxx...
how are the bunnies, Scrabs, do you still have the foster bunny
someone say rabbits?:)
TY for the op8
behave yourself, cross :-)
es8 es & brown from the sun & american secret govt agency
Foster bunny, Bijou, (I call her Peanut) is still at the vet's. I boarded her there during vacation (since Aug 6) so they could provide wound care. I will pick her up in a few hours.
great clue, thanks lyn
It was the only one I had besides the ac...
thanks, lynxxxie, good clue
TY Lynxxx
mmm rabbit in peanut sauce...cough sorry
good clue lynxx
Watch out, Crosshair, or I'll hurt you, LOL.
pe8 rhymes with those fabric things on the window - rhymes though, not spelled the same
Well, if you're going with Peanut sauce, I had a FABULOUS goroundnut stew with goat in Berkeley...
lol
was wondering how long it would take you to knock him one, scrab
Sorry must be too late here , it is spelled the same!
thanks for the pe8
lynxxie, thanks, another great clue
qu8 is a form of poetry, also gives you a nine
TYTYTY
I just now noticed the Qu tile. I always dive in without examining the grid.
qu8 5 black road stuffs
im afraid to look at licketys yet cause there is probably 45 qu words;/
not getting the qu8
lynxxxie, I got the poetry one, is there another qu8
qu8 - how poets travel?
Peri ... 5 & black road stuff....yes Annie this one
nDan, very funny
qu8 stanza of 4 lines . . . ends in amtrac

Got it, thanks, you two
Hi Une!
or excellent q cue? ha!
sh8.50 are needles (for injection)
got the other qu8 thanks
or brand of magic markers
here - sh8s are magic markies... like for writing on white boards : )
Oh, kje, forgot to tell you: Walter will be a VERY skilled doctor. Last night he replaced my sore back with a new one, and also his toe with the broken nail.
snap une
:-D
sh8.50 here are well dressed louts!
thanks for sh89
so he wants to be a surgeon? such a waste! : )
well dressed louts - lol
May I hire Walter for our office, MG?
Well, he used some sort of magic... No, so far he still wants to be an "old people like Gate Daddy Sam doctor". As of this morning on the bus anyway.
Don't see why not, Scrabbs-- but it's a bit of a commute.
no scrab!!! I got him to my side !
he is gonna be a geri... not a pedi : )
sh8.45 are herbs.....Eat my Sh**** with 2 vowels before the last letter
Well, you are right, kje, the US needs many more geriatricians as we baby boomers age.
Oops, dryer needs the water emptied.BRB!
Scrabbs, his original choice among dpctors was podiatrist. BRB!
need food - bbl
not gettting the sh8 herbs clue
Bart from The Simpsons phrase Peri
me neither peri
sh - description of mini skirt + backward [3-toed sloth] + pl letter
got the sh beginning working on the end
bbl
or sounds like where ocean meets coast + sp aunt + pl letter
peri, not long + spanish aunt
TY for that sh word
hey, scrabs--welcome back :-)
199 down, a googleplex to go
hello Scrabbler welcome home did you have a lovely time did the kids miss you?
te8.40 rhymes with The Mar****** are coming, the mar***** are coming! (War of the Worlds)
Back for a bit, then must walk dog; I have a playdate with her best friend Django set up.
hello Peri nDan and anyone i might of missed back for another round
hey, loredana!
sorry une hello hugs
is Django a Gr Dane too MonkeyG?
Hey Lore have you been cooking dinner?
Oh hey, Scrabbs, can I ask one more question about Walter? Non-illness-related.
scrabbler where does sebastian sleep when you are not there
No, Django is a husky/shepherd.
feeding the animals sandy I have a strict routine they all know when its bedtime
I was off reading about Michael Phelps.
scrabbler shes checking her emails or talking to the kids
Oh man!!! 298 words, I was so hoping for a small grid. Good morning!
wasnt too far off the mark
hi Mom
Hi mom!
morning mom..as was i:/
good morning mom
morning, mom!
hi Mom!
hello cross
howdy lore:0
HI {{Mom}}
hi Annie
good morning {{Scrabbler, Monkey, Crossy, Loredana, Une, Lynxxx, and dear, dear Annie}}
Hi loredana!
Loredana--I missed my kids SO much and they did fine. I will pick up Bijou from the vet soon where they have been providing wound care since Aug 6th. Sebastian had to sleep without me but we are back into our snuggling routine in bed.
While Bijou is gone I have allowed Tucker to come down here and run around like a nut. He is sprawled out next to the fireplace here, cutie boy that he is.
mmmm snuggle rabbits..cough back to the grid i go...
MG, what is your Walter question?
when I went to Melbourne last month two weeks and i couldnt wait to get home to the kids
ah, the Burt Reynolds of bunnies
i know hes a ten pounder is he a grey lop eared when will you post the kids on flicker? cant wait to see them
but a word for a bunny is in the grid :)
He is very picky about food, only likes certain things and won't try new stuff. The more I read and talk to people, the more Totally Normal this looks for the age and my instinct is to just let him do it and expect a sudden explosion of food exploration sometime in the next year. But my husband is more an advocate of getting strict and saying that he has to eat or at least seriously try whatever we put in front of him, and thinks I'm being too soft about it. Since I know this is one of the most common things people in your profession are approached about, what pinion of this have you personally formed?
crossy looks for rabbits on the grid;))
Tucker will have scented and claimed everything he wont like going back upstairs
just one rabbit, Crossy
former olympiant Ian & Jim are in the grid
I have a Jack Russel that loves rabbits
found the rabbit;))
Tucker is a 10 pound American Tan ---a handsome boy, for sure.
I have showed her the grid but she can't see it either
thanks nDan
afternoon everyone
Hi Katie!
good afternoon Katie
hi Katie!
Kids ARE picky eaters--they like what they like and could eat the same things everyday. Do encourage him to try new foods, e.g. "After you eat these 2 green beans then I will put the other food on your plate." You have to negotiate a lot with kids.
ro 6 - the list word from yesterday, repeat performance
same as grace she was a tan he would be handsome Sebastian and Gandalf they will be happy to have you home and bijou(love that name) she will be extra glad to see you
Hi Kitt
Thanks for the email there was quite a few I didnt need to change
You read it already?! It was spooky to read your answers, Loredana!
that was going to be my 2 cents mg; my rule was always -you need to try before you say no, but my 2 were great fruit & veg eaters from early on [daughter loved mushrooms from2 -6, went off for almost 3 years, then rediscovered last year & now loves again]
Well, I do try but at the moment he Just Will Not try new foods. And yet I can see that he is getting bored with his regular foods. He is stubborn enough to actually not eat anything at all if he has to eat one bite of something new first. Just keep at it, juet let him not eat dinner if necessary, or don't push it?
must be the Rabbitat thing Scrabbler lol
if he's really hungry, he'll do it
The only vegetables he will eat without qualms are sugarsnap peas (raw), and fresh basil,parsley, and cilantro.
Monkey you've gone pro :-)
i also let them see me try things i didn't like - so it was okay either way
OK, so present food and tell him to try it before he can have his rice, and if he won't don't sweat it and let him leave the table. That seems a reasonable comprobmise behavior for around here!
Oh yes, I do that.
in bought me pro status! Isn't that sweet?
Those are healthy greens, MG, so be happy about that. Yes, don't turn meals into battles. Ang engage him in food shopping, recipes, food prep so he has some element of control in the process.
One of my kids was a difficult eater-I gave up and gave her platters of little bits of fruit and veges and she ate them.
also she loved apple and carrot juice made in the juicer so she got her vitamins
Morning all, long time, no see, at least in the AM
Hubby doesn't like veg, might try the no beer until your greens have been eaten rule :-)
Yes, I do that, Scrabbler. He enjoys smelling all the spices. But all he really wants to eat in the evenings is white rice with butter and soy sauce. But he does eat enough healthy stuff throughout the day-- apples, sausage, chicken nuggets (homemade), brown bread, jam, bananas, salami...
HI pida! very long time....
if I take my wood and st 5/10 it a different color and I don't like it why ca*'* I re st5/10 it?
good morning Pida
Ooh, good one, Katie! If my husband could just eat meat and rice and potatoes he'd be a happy man. But I make sure Walter sees us eat salads and cooked vegies.
hi Pida
Walter has strawberry pancakes every morning right now, sometimes interrupted by poffertjes. I just make regular Dutch pancakes and replkace the milk with oprganic strawberry yoghurt.
Pida, If I may ask, how is your daughter?
poffertjes.??
Hi Pida
during the day are the more impt meals, sounds like good variety
I'm glad you asked crosshaire
bad list, mom, sounds reasonable to me
Annie, thnx for asking. She has went thru chemo, surgery, radiation, and is now on Tamoxifen. No sign of the big C in her body
Poffertjes are tiny fluffy pancakes made with buckwheat, and Walter likes them with a bit of powdered sugar and some cinnamon. OK, got to go get Saskia and Django together in the Dog Woods Have fun all!
I thought so, nDan :)
good to learn something new every day;)
Fingers crossed pida
{{Pida}} wonderful news
bye bye Monkey, see you soon
Pida, Then all the prayers helped including mine...so happy to hear the wonderful news!
Fantastic Pida!
hello Pida wonderful news
pida,what type of cancer did you girl have?
Gotta go, man here to fix water heater. bbs
bye Pida, good to see you again
Good news, Pida.
Coffee refill anyone?
thank you Scrabbler, but I am still working on my juice.
Oh I'll have one scrabbler :-) I'm finding it hard today
anyways,nice to hear she is in the clear,reminds me my next check up is sept 6th;)
tea here please
thanks Scrabbs, *holds out cup*
After this cup I will have breakfast.
Don't tend to babble much in the evenings now as I'm addicted to my iphone and Wii Fit so try and get as much done as possible in the day
Here is the coffee, but, be careful, it is hot, hot, hot.
Kaite, I love Wii Fit
here the iphone data packages are controlled by one company and is so expensive to run on a monthly basis that only the wealth can own one
Thaanks, Scrabbs...ouch, you did say it was hot
don't do it nearly enough but it is fun. How do you like the Hula Hoop?
I tried out WiiFit at my cousin's house. The funny part is seeing the squiggly lines indicating body movement.
We have just got it and it is so much fun, wasn't so pleased when my Mii turned fat. I like the hula hoop but love the step and the ski jumping :-)
I haven't tried the ski jumping
Our iphones are with one company it is $70 per month but you do get 600 mins, 500 texts and free 3G and wireless
hi, all. I like this grid.
I crashed everytime I tried the ski jumping.
HI Angelsong
hello angel
Hi Angel. I am having fun too.
OK - 5 more minutes
Serious you need to try the ski jumping its so fun, especially the crashing
{{KJE}} good morning
I will have to try that, Katie
I like the not-getting-hurt part of WiiFit.
katie,we have the real ski jumping here in the winter and it is too painfull now..might have to try it your way;)
(((mom))) - still no breakfast! just an orange and coffee
only peanut butter crackers here this morning. Swweite had cereal.
Sweetie*
OK, that makes me feel better... at least I know I am not missing something good : )
I think that I shall have eggs.
Mom, no scrambled eggs today?
lol KJE
no, I didn't want to mess in the kitchen since I have to go to the grocery today
mmm scrambled eggs,toast with apple jelly and a nice hot cuppa tea:)
I have a hankering for scrambled eggs, think that will be my breakfast
speaking of which, Bed Bath and Beyond is getting ready to open. Off to put on my shoes and socks. {{Hugs}} to all of you.
enjoy your eggs, Annie and Scrabbler
Mom, Happy shopping!
Thank you, Annie, I love the grocery shopping
yee! sh4ing!
bye mom... don't be too tempted at BBB
I will finish this cup of coffee first. I am up to 78 words.

Hey Babble Family !
Hi Aussie!
ma 5 18 sounds like the enemies turned crewmates from beginning of star trek voyager
aussieeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!! hi!
hello miss and aussie
damn - a cool group and I must go
I'm going to oxford sh88ping on sunday, in negotiation about limits as we speak :-)
Hey Aussie :) hoorah for your success in the Olympics!
Hey Scrabbs, kjeeeeeeeeeeee, Lore !!
Hey Beeze !!

Did you win the gold medal, Aussie? I know how hard you have tr5ed.
Bye KJE, enjoy the day.
yes... work is interfering once again
I dont know Scrabbs.... I have had my head out of the tv for a bit....
you too scrab - hold the finger in the dam!
his country Crossy!! they are having much success -especially in swimming!
Hey Crossy !
aussie:))
Hi beeze and Aussie, how are you feeling???
Hey Annie :) good here!
54 words to go. second column is darkened
I am feeling much better Annie.... holding my own now.... Hubby had to go back to work today. He is home now though...
I mean her - not his- sorry Aussie - how are you?
294 to go for me... I only just started...
Yay Angel!
I am here Beeze, thanks for asking.. How are you ?
i still have 151 - all is well here...
C'mon Angel... you can do it **waving pompoms wildly for Angel**
Glad to hear it...
I just crossed 100 words! 197 for later. Off to make breakfast, then shower & shave (I must be aerodynamic and hydrodynamic for kayaking, LOL), and to pick up Bunny Bijou in town. After lunch I will kayak with a friend.
See ya later Scrabbs... Have a great day, have fun Kayaking !
ooh - how Olympian of you Scrabs! Go go go!
Great to see you Scrabbler enjoy your day take care see you next time hugs for the kids and yourself
Go go Babblers! Go for the gold!
have fun scrabbs..give the bunnies a hug for me;0
scrabbler..you don't have the latest swim techno gear for your kayak experience?
Have fun, you kayaking maniac! :)
while you are kayaking, pretend you are an olympian going for the gold!
rofl Cross...
too much olympics!
got to love the ladies in that new techno swin gear;))
swim
Just T-shirt, shorts and sports sandals, Babs. And I get naked for the swimming.
*rolls eyes at Crossy**
**not looking at Scrabbler getting nekkid**
Way to go Scrabbler !!!!
Crossy - it is "form fitting" to make them swim better, not for your viewing pleasure!
crossy coughs and goes back to the pool..err i mean grid
Good idea, Aussie. Looking at me naked will lead to years of therapy to recover from the emotional trauma.
still pretend you are going for the gold Scrabs! it will be wacky!
Crossy doesn't mind it form fitting for the swimming.... makes the peeking easier !!
I am always wacky!!
oh rofl Scrabbs.... I am so glad I popped in to the chat today.... Cheered me up no end.... I was feeling quite miserable, but am happy now

The vegemite went down with the toast this morning Lore, thanks !

I love vegemite I have it everyday
**passing bangers and mash to Crossy**

My american relations hate it
fish pies,chicken pot pies,steak and kidney pies...yummmm
does anyone have a good recipe for a yorkshire pudding?
But what do they know they eat cakes for breakfast
I sometimes think maybe they put too much on
lol sandy
texan eating yorky pudd
I have never tasted yorkshire pudding but do plan to make it ( I have Jamie Oliver's DVD)
ngredients at room temperature: 2 c. flour 2 c. milk 6 eggs 1 tsp salt Mix with whisk. It's ok to leave a few lumps. If you're not going to use right away, keep at room temperature. I like the results better if the batter has sat for awhile. Put about 1/2 tsp. oil in muffin cups (bacon fat IS the best!). Heat pans in 400 F oven until very hot. Fill muffin cups about half full of batter and bake approx. 25 mins.
yay miss you will find recipe online try as sandy just said I have seen it in the supermarket already made up but its basically your pikelet recipe goodness you probably call them pancakes
Beeze....vegetable oil 290ml/½ pint milk 4 eggs, beaten 255g/9oz plain flour, sifted salt and freshly ground black pepper
oh cross your wonderful
NEVER buy pre made yorkshire pudding
oh yay! let me get this
crosshair that sounds like Jamie's recipe and it does look good
then... Method 1. Preheat the oven to 220C/425F/Gas 7. 2. Grease a Yorkshire pudding tin with a little vegetable oil. Place the tin in the oven to preheat. 3. Place the milk, eggs and seasoning in a bowl. Stir well to combine. 4. Whisk in the flour. 5. Remove the tin from the oven. Pour in the batter, filling each case only three quarters full. 6. Place the tin in the oven and bake for 10 minutes, or until puffy and raised. 7. Remove the puddings from the oven and serve
no... pre made are greasy and disgusting !!
if you cook them right they will be hollow:)
we used to fill them with peas or mashed taters;)
i only make my own cross has made me hungry with the bacon fat right on yummy
I find, that if you mix the pudding mix about an hour before you need it, and then chill it in the fridge, the puddings rise more, and make them hollow inside, the way they are supposed to be !
and gravy of course
Ok I see Plain flour - I thought it would be self raising flour?
nope,dont want self raising,we are not making actual muffins
Oh Cross !! A man after my own heart. Gotta have peas and mash in there, and gravy !
thanks so much!
and the roast beef to go with it
i want to make yorkshire pudding very badly!
Sandy, self-raising doesnt work right !
of course aussie:)
We already have a cow in the paddock so there's the roast beef!
ok, so plain flour, peas and mash, roast beef, and a delightful gravy
**will be making puddings with my dinner today... You guys always make me hungry !**
and I will use plain flour
and you better make about 60 of them..will be just about right:)
may need a gravy
puddings all around Aussie!
rofl Sandy !! ask the cow if she can spare a slice off her butt !
31 words to go...
My favourite dessert is home made pavlova
look out cow here comes Sandy!!! and now Aussie
I have 170 left and don't seem to be going anywhere
crossy chases after cow with a sliced open yorkshire pudding.....
your doing well sandy fireworks is getting closer
I love our little cow it eats out of my hand
Beeze : 1 onion or 2 shallots Few sprigs thyme Plain flour Red wine English or wholegrain mustard
its a pity it looks so delicious
Method : 1. Add some thyme and a sliced onion or a couple of shallots when roasting the beef as this will caramelise with the meat juices to flavour the gravy. 2. When the joint is cooked, remove it from the oven tray and set aside. Cover the meat with foil and leave to rest while making the gravy. 3. Spoon off any excess fat, then place the roasting tin on the hob and heat gently. Add a couple of heaped teaspoons of plain flour (2 teaspoons is enough to thicken about 300ml liquid) and stir into the meat juices, scraping up all the sticky, caramelised meat and onion sediment as you go. Cook for a minute or so until the flour turns golden and thickens, then gradually add a little red wine, stirring well and bringing up to the boil before splashing in a little more liquid, until you have the pouring consistency you like. Taste and season well. 4. Strain the gravy through a sieve into a clean pan, add a little English or wholegrain mustard for a rich flavour, then return to the boil and serve.
Gravy recipe for you !
I have friends down Mundijong way they breed Dexter cows so beautiful i couldnt eat pets but I know cross could he will eat anything lol
now there is a traditional gravy recipie!!!!
te 7/8 rhymes with window hanging
rofl... I see you running off to chase the cow with that yorkie pudd Crossy !!
lore- we had some Dexters they are really delicious and I think one of the best meat cows
former olympians Ian & Jim are in grid
lol aussie
apparently so they are originally from Ireland I believe they are good looking cows
sa 7 rituals would scare most church goers
They are lovely and very intelligent with a lot of personality
q 8/9 - transport for poets?
how come you can have the sa7 ritual, but not the man himself ?? strange !
irish cows?? ok i will say a prayer from both sides before i pour the gravy:)
rofl..... Cross, you are crazy !

Sounds of satisfaction, Eva.
Its only a nursery Scarlet, just to get her ready for school when she is 5 !
Sorry...wrong one!

Good grief, Aussie... she's a wonder! :-)

How philosophical, crossie...
Oh, Annie... photos are a-coming

Hey Pini !

hello babble land! KJE, congrats - you won (surprise surprise)! This grid is (thankfully) too big - so I'm just saying hi and goodbye to all!
AsGreen... {{hugs}} Long time!
bye asg
little sis has been very fussy, the other night she broke down - I don't want him to go; tuff time, they're so close tho 7 yrs apart
Oh, nDan... it's a tearful time...
OH !!! **oh my, falling on the floor, on bended knees, grovelling for forgiveness from kje, for missing telling her I would meet her anyday, any time**
**tosses Aussie a kneeling cushion**
hi scarlet!! I'm off - I have to go pick up my car in the shop, load it up, get a mani/pedi, pick up cases of wine and beer, and then we're off to vacation!
Wowzers, AsG... have a blast!
**catches cushion, knees are painful**
aussie, when did you win that oscar?
LOL aussie - well, if you are ever in Dallas, I will take you and Georgie for an icecream
lol
:0) nDan...
kje, starting something again?!
Oh, yum, ice-cream
cases???? you are planning a good time asg!
**snort**
I am back from phone call, Have Aussie been forgiven?
ooh, can I come too? I like Ben & Jerry's.... yes, cases - 8 adults and 7 days....you do the math!
**sees Scarlet snorting, and tells her I would meet her anyday, any time too**
aussie was never unforgiven
I don't know, Annie... the cyber Soap Opera is getting thick now...
paciugo gelato here - beats the heck out of B&J's
I'm game to try it!
Gelato! Where?
Of course, Aussie... I would LOVE to meet this chatline...it would be the most fabulous reunion of sorts in the history of mankind!
ok - lots to do.... I'll try to pop back on later.
but asg, I do not think it would be a good idea for the 2 of us to ever be in the same room together - could get lethal
awww, I think we'd have fun
**Aussie is thanking her lucky stars for her Babble Family.... They mean the world to her**
you being so competitive and all
(hubby won't allow it though
well, I need to bow out; gl all; have fun with all the cool desserts

Ok, I need to go for a while, I have family time to do.... I will be back in a wee while..... Be good, Happy Babbling !! **poofing after leaving bag of chocolate kisses on table**

Phantom: thoracic
Hello all.
hi bzzzzzzzzzzzz
Hi, Bzzzzzz!
goodnight flosey sleep well
hello Bzzzn
Hi again! 20 minutes to the bus, dog well tired, back sore = Babble!
Lore are you getting sleepy?
Hi, MG... **ibuprofen for pain**
Yes, thought I was out and would have to take paracetamol, but I found some in my work bag.
you went and did something you shouldn't have, didn't you MG
The "doctor is in".
no, the nagger is in : )
**giggle**
Yes, kje, I did... but I also had the sense to notice that signals had led up to stop, and then I took your advice.
sandy no I am a night person and I am determined to finish this grid 64 to go
It was wrong, I know it. But while Walter has been ill I have let SO much go undone...
I need ibu for a wee bit of a hangover headache.
MG would be the kind of patient I would have to slap sense into occasionally : )
And he was complaininglast night about wanting to be able to sit up and lean back in bed...
It's true.
Save some energy for me, kje...
you are going well Lore
ooooh - do tell bzzzz!
Nothing exciting. Just a bottle of pinot noir last night while watching the olympics.
The big question remains... back to work Monday or not? Only the weekend will tell... sigh.
You mean people are DOING the grid, sandyloo???
we are waiting, bzzz, tell us about your hot night
Here have a glass of wine bzzz it will help
I have 103 words, Scarlet!
Hair of the puppy...
LOl, MG... you're zipping right along...
Well some people are doing the grid Im not doing only trying
Yah!!!! I've got hot water again. Does anyone have a clue for the or/10 ?
I have 161 left
Thing about work is, all the chairs are third-hand and uncomfortable, and my job involves sitting down at an inappropriately high desk all day... I'll just have to see how this feels.
Hi, pida 1!! NOt there yet...
Hi Scarlet, et al.......
I would love another clue for the or10
or10 = think bone doctor and fruit pastry (not cake, but ***)
Remember to anagram all your four letter words! IT's that kind of grid.
I know it starts with bone and ends with dessert and has a web in it somewhwere... but didn't really understand the clue
I would appreciate a clue for the or/10 also
did that hint help at all...if not, i'll try again (this would be a first for me - don't usually give clues; but desperately ask for them all the time)
or10/84 pertaining to bone or*** +2nd vowel+deserts
Thank you, Pini and lore!
but what does that have to do with the web?
oooh, loredana's we better
*scratching head* now sure where "web" comes in on that one
OK, time to prep for bus trip and go get my boy! Back once he's in bed or earlier if he's playing by himself. Have fun everyone!
only know about spiders web kje
oh... OK... liek email... when whoever gave that clue, what all websites start with, I was thinking www...http...?
the clue said internet dessert - very clever clue... now that I have the word : )
love it!
not sure about that, kje...I think Loredana's clue is the best one
gosh, didn't even think of it THAT way kje...makes sense now!
does that mean anagram of spies maybe
finally got the or 10...and finally figured out the internet clue....verrrrry clever
Later Monkey...
I'm still being thick on getting the I-net reference...
the first part does not mean pertaining to bone, it means straight
dont worry scarlet i dont either
hi lance...
yes lance, we know... she had clued start of bone doc earlier... it just gets shortened
thanks doctor lance
Then we can hold hands in the dark, lore!
okay scarlet
ok, was throwing me off
no worries kje its babble language not everyone understands that except us
we'll have none of that lore and scar! babble is a G-rated place!
Scarlet, do you have the or 10 or would you like a clue?
okay i'm back - sorry for the sudden exit - i actually had a modem outage at my convenient home remote connection and had to come to my office - uggh
But...but...**sputter**
sure you werent making yorkshire pudding lol
hi beeze
I have the word Annie, but I am being dense on getting the clever Internet reference...
i missed my gravy recipe for my puddings :(
hey Annie
perhaps Crossy didn't give me one and i will have to find one on the internet
e-pie...e-mail...e-bay...
web post + e-mail web dessert + e-****
OHFORPete's sake, Annie... muchas gracias!
LOl, kje... and Kate!
Any clues for the I ubder the QU?

**snort**
: )
ae 2 and 3
It's 10:39 in the a.m., and I must go make a pot of angelhair pasta with parmesan, garlic and eighthed cherry tomatoes... all I want is carbs lately!
gee, share some with us, Scarlet!
Coming right up, Pini!!
phantom - aromatic
That would be my kitchen in about 15 minutes, kje...
most folks these days are avoiding carbs scarlet
hi everyone
and ratio
what kind of tomatos?
Not moi, ruru, and hi!
Cherries, kje...
hi ruru
hi ru
ru
before that
hi
I don't quarter them, I make the pieces smaller...
K
J
E
lol
oh - got it scar
See y'all soon...with a heaping plate of pure goodness...
bon appetit scar
*** ruru is trying to imagine scarlet with garlic breath at 10:39 a.m.***
Oh, ruru...why are carbs considered such a bad thing? I never got that... does anyone know?
CArbs turn to sugar
go for it scarlet... who cares?
And that's bad why?
b/c of fad diets... and misinformation... and american diets overabundance of tehm
who cares what other people do. I am so sick of that anyway
FYI - everything turns to sugar
throws off your ability to burn fat...set up for insulin imbalane
So my craving pasta is not necessarily a terrible assault on my system?
sugar is the form of energy your body burns
moderation moderation moderation
scar - eat away
most people that have a heart attack -- happens within 2 hours of a high carb meal
not too much cheese though..lol
and enjoy the pasta anyway!
exactly ruru - have whatever you want, just don't do it to extreme
Okay... I'm a tall skinny in my early 60's and never had any health problems... my pasta is not going to give me a third eye or anything... LOL
lucky you..
at least you hope it doesn't! lol
It works for Old Italian guys...
sorry babs, but that is too blatantly wrong to let slide... highest risk of MI time of day - early morning with AM catecholamine surges
You are such a buncha cocoanuts./.. pasta coming up!
enjoy
never been called a coconut before? hmmm
never been called a coconut before? hmmm
good morning babblers
I've got a loverly bunch of coconuts...
maybe your data comes from a different source...mine is Dr. Ron Rosedale
i love the song by freddy martin "i've got a lovely bunch of coconuts"
morning josh
exactly, kje!
gm joshuavorbis
there they are a standin' in a row...
mine is 4 years of medical school and too many journal articles to count
big ones small ones some as big as your head
hear-ye, hear-ye! today is a day of great importance! a day that will go down in hostory!
history!*
give em a twist, a flick of the wrist, that's what the showman said
I go with the medical school
give 'em a twist
don't tell olympic stuff!
LOL josh!
today i made pancakes. all by myself!
Congrats!
yay Eva! this weekend will go down in history for me
yes. and...?
i'm gonna make yorkshire puddings
i usually have a pathetic inability to cook anything that involves flipping. but today is achieved success!
it only took almost 30 years. :)
were they from a mix Eva
oh.. historic it is then
of course they were, miss -- baby steps, here. ;)
did you do the pan flip??? sans spatula???
kje -- BABY steps!
as long as you didn't waffle about flipping it
well, just the same - i am proud of you
clapping for eva's baby step- yay!
an5/10 x3 plz?
wow, chog is full of carbs this morning - LOL
im gonna call my mom + tell her. :D
*** one small step for mankind.. one big step for maple syrup
I am sure she will be suitably proud eva : )
LOL ruru
she may feel a bit odd that she hadn't taught you it before
dad was the cook in our family -- moms skills werent much better...heh
the real question is : what is the problem with flipping stuff..are you doing too many things and not watching?
your father would really be proud then!
first pancakes I made... herin's honey pikelts recipe... just always seemed like too much effort for breakfast
ruru -- i guess i never do it confidently enough + everything either platters all over the place or crumples into a great big mess
olympian in the grid...
french toast is easier and I like it better, so never did the pancakes
aaawww eva - probably not waiting until they are done enough on one side to flip 'em
I learned how to cook at a very early age
me too ruru - just not pancakes... will only cook what I wanna eat
yes kje is right you have to wait and also be confident and firm with flipping
I pretend to cook...if it's edible I try to remember what I did so I can have it again...otherwise I'm a lost cause!

right col grey!
298!! Holy Toledo
hi all
morning cross , ruru. the games interfered with finishing last night.
hi boo and holy toledo sharon!
OK, needed a snack... cheese with wine jelly
hi Babs
moring sharon and mayne
morning
if only babble... or at least boggle... were an olympic event
hi babs, mayne, boo, shar.. whoever else has shown up while I was snacking
it is a marathon, anyway!
hi kje
hmmm and wonder who of our greats would win gold??? sprite?
I miss the old boggle, but it was a serious addicition for me
dart, knight time would win golds
I like this better than boggle
volley dee silver
kiwi bronze
oh yes, KT - true
haz honourable mention
none of my friends will play me in boggle :(
I think haz would be on the medal stand
on second thought you are right.
but morewords would have to share the medal...lol
no one will play me in scrabble : (
my addiction before this was bookworm
more words?
i am very good at boggle, but nigh unstoppable at scramble
... or text twist
i have a 52-0 record and i can't get my friends to finish a game
After a warm up I could play you at boggle
i would challenge you josh, but 1) my computer and face book scramble do not like each other... and 2) you would beat the bejeses out of me
is there an online boggle?
you can beat me..i'll play a few, josh
scramble
through facebook there are a couple different boggles, sharon
yes but you have to type in words which slows me down appreciably
oh wow, too bad the ae8 that is the old ford minivan isn't a word
you don't type on this game ruru? what do you do if not type??
I tried that too josh
I used to mouse in boggle
if babble had the grid letter click style of bookworm,it would be perfect
I had to type that in josh, just to see for myself :)
babs1 - you can find me on facebook with the same name i have here
tried too
but he can type slow and badly here... like I do
lol kj
I am the worst typer ever
I've kicked some serious butt at bookworm once upon a time
k.....*dusting off a new screen to look for josh*
sharon - change one letter on the ford minivan and you have an ae8 that works!
no I am
so ruru, you are not typing on this babble? What are you doing?
on the medlal stand I am GOld material
thanks josh
the wifes record on bookworm surpases mine sharon..she has over 3 million
I am best all around
oh holy crap.....I'd better shut up :X
I played boggle under a few names and was a killer player
there are speak and type programs out there that i want to test in conjunction with babble
i'm gonna have to check out this bookworm
bookworm rocks:)
is it bookworm .com?
josh..did a search for you and couldn't find you
www.popcapgames.com
maynegirl says it taks time to get very good in boggle. have to find out what words are accepted.
weird - you did use two names, right?
www.popcapgames.com that is
who me?
ok..got it josh
I used three or four
i found him Babs - just sent you a req. joshuavorbis
r
does this mean i have to visit facebook today
i guess it does!
if you want to play scramble
phantom word "aquatic"
hello people! this'll be a long one...

and the other is there also kj - the O
reverse of oh word - minus plural
yes, very easy to monkey
good god there are a lot of t words today

I.. am ... always... ruru!
plane beginning + opp of stood
rofl ruru !
ae4 + most of the 50 USA pieces
But sometimes your ruru-ness is more developed than other days...
ae7...ae4 and to create a lap...ae8 put in a cons or another word for data
I am on it today baby..
for the first 15 years i was the maniac aussie,now revenge is sweet now its my turn to bestow or withhold mwahahaha!
You betcha, ru!
ty
crossy coughs and goes back to the grid....
AS7?
rofl.... Cross, you make me laugh !! **tying on incontipants, wishing Monkey was here**
Ditto, Aussie...
hehe now i know my goal for the day..to make aussie tiddle herself;)
HAH !! I have incontipants, and I'm not afraid to use them !
get out the night time ones!
getting some lunch, will be back later
later, Sean!
I am reading back down the chog, and take back my earlier statement to scar about babble being g-rated
ps... I dont REALLY have incontipants, its just that I have soooo much fun here, it always makes me laugh !
**snorting again at kje**
ill try to keep it r-ish ok?
Hurshy as7/32 unstable or unsteady
you are such a prude kje
yes, that is me
thanks frances
Hello there, Frances... it's been forever since I've seen you! :-) Are you well?
how about ES7?
im such a pig that i have paid a dirty old man to make a pass at my wife 2 years after im gone;))
naked babbling, skinny jacuziing me - the prude : )
OMG.... **really needs incontipants now** I almost spat my tea all over my laptop...
lol
ever spout tea thru your nose?
Olympic Nekkid Babblers Unite!! We have nothing to lose...
i would babble naked in a jacuzzi
where do i sign up
Once Crossie, it does so hurt !
I babble nekkid in bed !
No, crossie, but I did spout Pepsi once...it was awful...
haven't tried naked babbling does it help find words easier
hurts less if you take the tea bag out of the cup first....
aussie is probably our most frequent naked babbler
Yes ruru.. nothing for the words to hide nehind then !
rofpmpl !!
And the most delightful...
Feel silly, but I can't get the ar5/12. I've monkeyed everything.
actually it does ruru - reasons to get onto better pursuits
if i babble neeked i get..errrr apendages caught in the keyboard
or hide behind even !
ar + cap
Are your monkies nekkid, super??
Thanks. It's a usual Babble word, should've seen it!
dont' tell Michael Jackson
Crossy !! **falling on floor laughing my butt off**
are you sitting on your keey board cross?
well just try explaining that injury to the doctor...
**triple snort**
this is seriously not a mental image I need
ruru is sitting on his E letter !! we have keeys now !
mine would just keep hitting enter all the time
does the or10 start with the or5?
ruru !!!!!!!!!
well doctor i saw a whole string of words and started typing franticaly and all of a sudden there was this sharp pain that started with the letter q.....
yes
hurshy is doing a good job of ignoring us
LOL
Call the ONBU hotline for on-th-spot analysis, crossie...
yes Hursh !
bones + desserts hursh
Crossy those pains may actually have been related to the whole string of AO words
lol
as 7?
or10/84 sounds like a meat meal surrounded by pastry with the bones left in. Put a vowel in the middle
doesn't that only make 9 letters?
although i hope not :)
good luck on getting it without a dictionary
ah yes, vowel in between
hursh = or5 + vowel + dessert
add a vowell in the middle
a + makes your hair stand on end when you put on your sweater
I have a string of ao words !!
ES7?
thanks hursh
Hurshy there is es8 not es7
dessert?
that would contribute to my trouble
es7 = a cattle ranch, Latino version
es 8 - es + sun coloring + US spy org
es8 then?
apple, pumpkin, pecan, lemon meringue
a's done
thanks!
op7? and i do mean 7 this time.
pecan pie over here please....
don't think i have the right or 5
c's done
eat the wedge of pie with my right hand,while holding diabetic meds in my left:/
bone doc Sharon
or5 - prefix meaning straight...start of bone doctor
like a dentist is called an or***dontist Sharon
hush ruru - you are making me feel inferior
ok i've got that....just brain dead I guess
Aww Crossy **knows what you mean, I have diabetes**
or7 is being grandiose in the way you vocalize
i think you mean op8 josh
i need the op7
clue please for the final two an 5,10s.
so i do
got it, KJE, thanks for your clues and patience :)
me too
well, or*** + 2nd vowel + p4 word that is steak and kidney, fruit or whatever...
NP
op7/32 sounds like a cross between an aria and a flower
picnic bug with different endings for the an 5/10'w
ty again frances
yes ty - great clue Frances!
great clue frances!
i am currently baffled by the 1st th5/12
You're welcome hurshy

**Crossy has just realised his brain is not in his head**

**Aussie knows kje... was just laughing**
ty

Friday's ruru is often obstreperous
OK - now I feel bad - let's not dump on ruru - I was just teasing
go ruru go!
We HAVE to keep him in line, kje...
hey! im the victim here!:((
didn't mean to start a freakin' riot! LOL
Crossy is the victim - lol!
morning all, the one day i don't have to spend all day at this..
** ignoring all the mean-spirited comments ***
i have a feeling ruru is just fine as he is the one gliding through the grid with pride!
that it! no hershey chocolate kisses for you girls today
yes bee, that is a professional opinion based on known anatomy : )
rofl... I was teasing Crossy, and poor ruru got it !
Hi, onyx... it's not an easy one...
i can see
**I will leave chocolate kisses for all the girls, Crossy can whistle for his now .... lol**
Yeah...like ruru and crossie need defending from a bunch of girly-girls...
crossy grumbles at the oddness of women and slinks back to the grid......
i feel like i've been working on the t's for 12 hours
you know how to whistle don't you?... just put your lips together and blow...
right - now they will try and play on our sympathy
ae 2 and 3 plz?
indeed kje...
**I see kje is plaing Marilyn !!**
*playing
** I am waiting for my shot...***
how can there be 37 p words?? from that one little corner? My brain is like OATMEAL
*holding my skirt down as I stand over the vent*
ruru - done with the T's yet?

37 P words ? Oh My !
TY for the correction

Bravo, josh!

ty, great clue
Ooooh, To Have and Have Not... Lauren Bacall : 1944
:0)
sh7/32 combine lack of height with a drink (*** maria) Plural for sh8/45

thanks kje, yet again.....
th5/12 alt spelling for going to great lengths
cheap sangria, right?
josh - I do not think I have it... I am not listing so can't be sure, but my 1st one is 3
lauren bacall is a goddess
mmm...40,s movie gals...:))))
I head that she likes you too, ruru.
rita hayworth.....so pretty
Rita Hayworth and Merle Oberon were gorgeous...
head?
can I get a clue for the ac 8/60?
Sophia Loren..
Snap, Sharon!!
Oh, yeah, Aussie.
seamed hose....:))..cough crossy goes for another tea.....
ac8 - to get to know something
**heard**
ac8/60 get to know ac9/78 plural
snap......is that an elle woods reference?
acquaint
i did not understand the alt spelling for going to great lengths clue
or it's not clicking
elle woods?
Oh POO !! **slinks off to PB**
OOOOOOOO Aussie
aussieme to the penalty box
you know, I heard from my mom that those seams were a major pain to keep straight
It's a British Isles expression like we would say "pinkie same"...
thanks Frances
scarlet, explain "snap," please??
I got it before Aussie gave it away
th5/12 you make a th5/12 investigation
hm....i don't know what pinkie same means either, lool
Same thought at the same second, Sharon.
although I've heard often of pinkie swear
ah...pinkie swear
gotcha
snap, it means you said the same thing Sharon !
ty
Yep!
ty frances - that did it
Elle woods, was that character in legally blonde, who taught the woman at the beauty parlor to do this bend down and "snap" routine.....thought it went along with rita hayworth and other 40's pin up type gals....I told you, my brain is mush today
You're welcome
pinkie swear is not snap - pinkie swear is sacred promise between girlfriends never to expose
done josh?
nope, 87 left
bend down and snap?
exactment kje !!
yes
Right, kje...
lol....and thanks for setting me straight on the pinky swear.....forgive me
** waiting for babble girls to bend and snap**
beeend, and "SNAP"
snickering here
*** adjusts galsses(((
I think I snapped my back !
**gasp** Right here in front of the entire universe, ruru???
adjust the typing instead
LOL aussie
rolf
**ruru cannot see any more, I poked him in the eye**
rofl, too
since you are already naked ..whynot?
our "universe" is currently 173 players - so go ahead scar
boy could they adjust thier garters:)
**covertly bends and quietly snaps**
don't forget about the incontipants
"oh, snap" = an exclamation of dismay or disbelief, surprise, or joy; a euphemism for 'oh, sh*t'
LOL, Pini!
I am NOT nekkind tody !
or today even !
not oh snap - just snap
Well, you'd better remedy that condition, Aus..
ummm kje.. talk to aussie willya
or nekkid even !
**strips off, unabashedly**
too many definitions for just "snap"
aussieeeeeeeee - let's get naked! 1st one in the jacuzzi is a rotten egg!
*spalsh*
If only "snap" was in the grid today...
Well, Pini... I believe that we could use, "Aussie's mind has finally snapped."
lingers to be last, lets kje smell like rotten eggs !
<--- rotten egg
I'm in!!
i've been here for half an hour
shoot - last one in the jacuzzi is a rotten egg - ROFL
Ah.... kje just jumped on Joshua !
hi josh... scoot over... make room for aussie and scar
y'all such a fun group
k
**hauling joshua out of the water to see if he is injured**
I am reeking of garlic, but at heart, I am a very good person...
ruru breaks out jello powder boxes
Ausse... I think he died with that silly smile on his face...
oooh, jello !!
no ruru!!!
Is 1/2 way through the grid good enough to call it quits?
time out for ruru!
love that smile
rofl Scarlet !
ruru... no jello wrestling...
/me makes sign of the cross at jello powder boxes
there is enough in here that jiggles without adding jello
LOLOLOL
Pini, come back later if you can !
mmmm lime... pineaplle and cherry-vanilla
It's called gravity...
KJE !!!!!!!! **incontipants full to bursting**
I don't have to work today, it's going to be another scorcher, and I have nothing better to do...
see what happened? now you all had me googling 1940,s pin up girls;)
...and not being very successful at finding stuff...
oh right, i have adult responsibilities today. back later
tsk, boys
*climbs out of the jacuzzi, gives speech about the effects of cold water*
**tosses bucket of ice-cold water over crossie's head**
work ran interference
kje, I have just ordered a proper boned corset to go under my outfit for my Sister's wedding in September.... From U.S.A, how long do you think it will take to come ??
Later, josh... and stop smiling!
i see i missed the fun
How many words today?
back to the grid i go,with ice water in my hair....
Two to three weeks, Aus.
298 Gothaab
too many
seriously aussie???? how the heck would I know????
Just to make sure: ma5/18 isn't a typo? There really is one?
yep
Thanks Scarlet... I didn't know if you knew what the post was like for sending overseas kje...
Yes, super!
second in 6/21 anyone?
tho i did notice that rita had legs that went aproximatly up to her neck....
That was some time ago, though, Aussie.
So did Cyd Charisse, crossie...
Ah, I see.... I will cross my fingers then, I only have 5 weeks till the day
not to england... to france if I send 1st class air is about 7 days... to cyprus about 2 weeks
I like Tina Turners legs
if they send air, will be fine, if they send boat, will be screwed
ok, France not far from UK, fingers crossed for me then... they said about 14 days, or so...
those were the days,you would need ten minutes to take them off...with your teeth.... back to the grid crossy....
Tina Turner has great legs ruru !
true she does - even now - damn I want to age that well
ruru and crossie-grossie need some time-outs on the naughty step...
Me too kje... I think I have shot it though kje... I have no hope !
there is always hope : )
you can do lots of things with your teeth if you are careful
Doh! Got it. Forgot to count that extra letter. Tricksy Babble!
cross - you were not alive during those days - pulease!
wife cruised by and saw that last post of removing pantyhose with teeth..i have to go to my own pb for a bit lol brb
ruru just reached X-rated
LOL cross
lol
bad timing cross
lol
Oh My Crossie.... **there may be trouble ahead**
its all in the timing..went to a party 15 years ago and woke up married...poof
And... maybe not, Aus.
good job Mrs Crossie didnt see that post !!
Some women just adore their bad boys...
I'm glad mine isn't a bad boy Scarlet.... Mine is a godsend !
not really scar - sexy, yes, bad, no
My hubbie is the sweetest man on Planet Earth too, Aussie...
I am a bad boy...
and proud of it..
You're right,kje... depends on the perspective... Not a Mick Jagger type... more of a *sigh* David Bowie..
yee! so is mine ;)
no, no bowie for me
**holds breath, waiting for ruru to complete his statement**
Lucky us!
you are all bark, ruru
he naively thinks i can do anything in the world!
I Love David Bowie !!
Bless his love-laden heart, missb!
wooof
David Bowie is gay
: )
i know! he thinks i'm the smartest prettiest woman in the world!
lol
well, you ARE bee
ruru
why thank you KJ!
Bowie is the most androgynous human being I've ever seen...
I care not a jott ruru.... one night with me and, well, lets just say, he wouldnt worry !
she cares not a jott!
aussie - stop it - now I will need the incontipants
A jot, a tittle or an iota...
**passes extra pair of incontip;ants to kje **
he probably wouldn't be able to record any longer?
and you are too KJ and a man out there probably thinks the same of you!
and it isn't your dad
the ecstasy would rive him insane ruru
Poor David... I have a vision of him lying on his back with all six legs in the air, like a dead beetle...
;0) well, he may warble differently afterwards !
god, i hope not my dad bee!
lol - you know what i mean
the old aussie treatment?
what's the nutty aa
tsk, never mind
Long sighs of satisfaction
ooh, the old aussie treatment - yikers!
Aussie treatment has a different meaning in my home !! ;0)

hiya monkey
Futzing 'R Us, Monkey.

Hey Monkey
Walter likes what I did with his room! Whew!
So, it's a little disheartening to have found 100 words and still have so many to go...
Tell me about it! Stalled out at 104 here...
Sorry Scarlet....it doesn't help...
wick... I have 69 left to find and only eight grey tiles in the stats' box, and one of them was a 0/0
How, for example, can there be 4 more words stemming from the m? Unbelievable/
Oh dear Scarlet!
Oh, Flask. QU + first vowel, and AMTRAK vehicle...
I have two gray boxes...both are 0/0, lol
ruru come back now
i've already found 170 and have no grey tiles but the ones that starte that way!
I usually try to wait until I have found half the words before I go to Lickety's...that might not happen today!
want me to sing a song for you?
ruru can't be upset with you, miss... don't fret so!
i have 167 words and have greyed the top row a
I have two that did not start that way. One of them says 1/1.
Ack Dorens!

Yea, Flask... You are so welcome! {{hugs}}

Or, nos soft but ha*d + desserts with crusts
Hi kje!
ha7--ha4/6 +fly the friendly sk***
hello all, have a few minutes to hang out, but there is a glitch in the system so... *sigh*
hi mg
I don't think I can actually play this morning. :-(
hey MG and stiddy
What kind of glitch, stid?
the lickety add box isn't working properly. knowing me this will result in considerable PB time
monkey, I was able to watch some of Sam's training videos last night. He is absolutely amazing!
Oh dear. The other day I was missing a few letters suddenly and every time I refreshed I was missing different ones instead. I thought it might make for an interesting new way to play.
LOL sounds like my life, monkey!
Oh you should have seen him in his prime, Stid! He's amazing enough in those videos, but watching him stich a harmonica sideways into his mouth and play three part harmony was really something...
*boggle-eyes* really??? wow!
That sounds slobbery, Monkey.
And he was the original director os Scripps aquarium you know. He used to perform only on weekends and around teaching oceanography and folklore at UCSD.
I wondered about the oceaonography interest! *grin* as usual, amazing people are generally amazing in many ways.
I once got onto a school bus and discovered that another student had found out who my grandfather is (I must have been 15 or so). He ytelled, "HEY Katrina, who's this?" and stuffed a harmonica entirely into his mouth. A real hoot.
the things kids do.
Sam also has a Master's in herpetology. We sure had some fun times. It's hard to see him confined to a care facility. I mean, my aunt gets him out every few days to an aquarium or restaurantor her house or the embarcadero... but I mean, he's 91. He has light dementia and is just, well, old. But his heart and everything are great. The thing is he misses my grandmother so much.... me too of course. They brought me up. Remarkable people.
Leslie, my grandmother, had a Bachelor's in fine arts, and was just such a joy.... Her sister was a condustor and taught piano, among others to to David Byrne (sp?), and plays viola in Fantasia. Oh, and my grandmother was in the Ave Maria chorus in Fantasia.
it is really hard at the end of life when things like that happen, monkey. The dementia could actually be mostly the grief, actually. Elderly people express grief differently from younger ones, and "mild dementia" can be one of the symptoms.
Francie, the conductor, died at 98 years old, and was sharp as a tack until the last 5 years after the pancreatitis.
Don't I know it. I'm sure that's a huge factor--or else heloing take care of Leslie was staving it off, that can happen too. They were true soul mates, and she died after 65 years of marriage. I still have trouble dealing with it, I can only imagine how he feels.
hi stid, monkey
sorry I am not as sharp as most days, i am a bit distracted. The elder son was left at home alone last night, decided to go for a walk and got bulllied again. When we called the sheriff's office just now we were told that our son had started it??? I think I should have been more clear that the bully is nearly a foot taller than our son!
Hey there!
oh, sorry stid
'zactly, Monkey. (((((hugs)))))
hey dorens. cute icon. ;-)
haha stid - been using it a few days, now,. gave you your props when i received a compliment
oH DEAR, STID! Akk, capslock thing again. I was bullied a lot. How old is your son? How old is the bully? Where do you live, that the sherriff is actually the one to call?
called youiconkaer extraordinaaire
that waas icon-maker extraordinaire
stid, have you had previous runins with this cretinous sheriff?
Yes, the sheriff is the one to call, we live in the county, not a municipality. Sheriff has been called in the past for this child. *sigh* We didn't press charges a couple years ago when the boy pulled a gun on our son (turned out it was an "airsoft" gun, but had been altered to look real, and still would have hurt) -- now I think I should have.
oh!!! not a good scenario... can you open a dialog with this sheriff and make him see the situation?
the boys are approximately the same age, but since our son stopped growing early they are not at all well-matched in size.
I think so too. That is a bad scene. Is your son OK? Emotionally, I mean. I get the feeling you're a mom he can talk to-- that I did not have so my mom wouldn't have known. But I have a feeling you will. He OK?
how does the school handle it? in nJ we have such strong antibullying policies in schools
I am going to put it in writing, in addition to this telephone call. Everything that goes on the record will count if things escalate. I know how to play the game.
course you do!!! you're stidmama!!!!!!
Our son will be be okay. He called my mother when he got home, but didn't mention it at all this morning when he woke up (we got home really late and he was already asleep)
Yes, get it all on paper!!! Very important. Meanwhile, is there any help agency for this sort of thing? Social workers?
I'm glad he called someone. Knowing to get some moral support is Good.
sar ta
Is the bullying purely because the other one is a thug, or is your son, well, really intelligent or something? I was (I admit it!) AND had red hair. The weird kid, that's me.
os7/36 pls?
No, nothing we can do otherwise at this time. To be honest, we are a little sad we had to call the sheriff -- who contacted the other child's parents. That father will be emphatically letting his son know to stay in line. It will work for a while, but the kid will know who to really blame, and it could get sticky when school starts up in a couple weeks.
os sounds like someone who has trouble breathing mary
The bullying is because the other child is a thug, our son is small, has mild cerebral palsy and is easy to target because he reacts so "nicely" -- like watching a slug squirm under salt...
let the school know about it then, maybe? forewarned is forearmed, etc etc
and the counselor should also be able to give your son some help in not being easily victimized
we hae all sorts of resources for that stuff these days
Oh no! Poor kid! In my ideal world there's be some way to take the thug right out... but I can have extreme opinions about this kind of thing. If only the other could feel shame, but thugs cannot. Sheesh. Please give your son a hug for me! And listen to Dorens, that's a good idea.
ty for the clue Dorens, got it
the local high school is not the best place for anti-bullying. They are large and don't really care too much about the students. Fortunately, the other child is not academically skilled and our son is taking college-track courses. They were in the same freshman English, but shouldn't have any more classes together ever.
ssorry stid... you have a middle school counselor here who hasn't had a chance to deal with problems in two months now....
That should help a lot. But this kid is on the way home from somewhere your son frequents? Is there another route, or was this a coincidence incident?
yw mary, and sorry about that stid... but there are videos and books, etc on not being a victiim
Thanks dorens, we will have a meeting before school starts again to go over the accomodations for our son and I will mention it at that point. The middle school/grade school (combined K-8) was a lot better at supporting all the kids involved in things like this
yah, that';s why i'm in elementary/middle school. easier to really make a difference
I don't got the OS 7 ... *sigh* too upset to think, but feeling a lot better about it now, thanks ladies.
is your car a stick shift or an auto***** stid?
There is no other route. We live closer to the end of the dead-end road than they do! *grumble*
Is there a special school he could go to? And I mean an advanced one, since he's already on the college track. Somewhere the thug would have no chance at getting in...
I knew that ***** would come in handy! Thanks, Dorens!
*thinking* (which car.... LOL)
gotta run. time to take phoebe out for a walk and try to get her to nap. see youlater
That is ridiculous im oarnges daughter [playin her puzzle:] and i went ot a hi skool much like yours stid and i've seen things like that going on and i think that somthing really does need to be said even though the skool may care little about their students i know what worked for us to get things that were needed or that we wanted if you get your sons friends and some other students to get together and make a petition and get together and take it to a school board they might listen. also get the other students parents involved it may work [sorry for interrupting back to the puzzle]
OH! thanks!!!! OS 7 acquired!
Oh sigh! Well, if there's anything I can do let me know. But of course I can't think of anything unless your son wants to e-mail someone who was also bullied.
I'm an Asperger's sufferer, but I only found out I have it when I was in my early 20s.......(I'm now 30)
thanks orange's daughter. ((((hugs)))) you have good ideas.
But I was bullied a LOT at school
wow movieman -- that is similar to something our son deals with. Must have been tough to need extra support and not have the help.
Movieman, I have no such diagnosis but I sure throw up red flags all over the place if I use any screening software... Definitely at least borderline.
no problem i went thru it in middle school. but i had older brothers that showed me how to asses it :]
I agree stid, there wasn;t a lot of knowledge of Asperger's when I was younger
a lot of asperger's kids have trouble with social situations and become fair game for bullies. Nowadays we parents can pull our trump card (in the U.S.) and insist on proper protection for diagnosed ailments... even so the school fights tooth and nail to do as little as possible
been reading the chat and I can relate to some...my daughter was tested and deemed to have a "minor thought process disorder (i.e., learns by repetition); unfortunately, she was verbally and ultimately physically abused by her teacher...
oh pinikula, I am so sorry. what a terrible thing.
...reported it to the police who said they couldn't do anything because she had no physical markings...went to the principal who did nothing...went to the school board who also did nothing...
I'm 39. I was just considered weird. No matter how hard I tried I could not just blend in. Never really fully understood why. Now it still happens but well, I'm foreign! People make allowances.
in 7 clue please
...we ended up moving out of the school district as a result.
I am doing a paper this term about how teachers can better support OCD and Asperger's children in the classroom. Having worked so much with my child, I know that sometimes teachers need extra support to understand the kids.
in7 have I not.
well Monkey -- maybe you were foreign as a child too? I told people I was from MARS! *wicked grin* they believed me, too, as I looked directly into the sun for ages without blinking...
On the one hand, I live in an area that has zero tolerance rules; however, it doesn't help much when the faculty/staff do not support it (regardless of their own personal opinions).
True! BUt now that I am actually From Somewhere Else, people seem to accept me more... because they expect me to be somehow odd.
But, thanks to my Asperger's, I know have a wiiiiiiiddddddddeeeee knowledge of films.......
*now
We are in the best school district in the county... the only alternative would be to homeschool again and to be honest our son finally has some real friends at high school. I am reluctant to move him for that reason.
For me it's zoology.
'Zactly! hey movieman! did you know our babble-friend Hetty was in a movie?
no I didn't, which one?
Yes, I have to agree. If he has Real Friends he can get through it. I didn;t and I did. It's SO good he gets support at home! That is so important!
yes pinikula, the zero-tolerance is all too often merely words. It takes a lot of energy from parents to push all the time.
...the school district of abuse for my daughter was ranked one of the top 10 in the state...so much for that...
*thinking* I think it was called "The Stranger" from the early 1970s. I want to say 1973. It's on imdb but can't find a copy anywhere.
pinikula -- is your daughter doing better now?
Rings a bell...
You're right stidmama...I think what made it slightly worse was that my daughter was the 3rd of 4 students that were ultimately removed from this teacher's classroom...can you say PATTERN?...and still nothing was done...
clue for in 6/21 please
I have an in 6/21 - if something is not torn apart it is in****
oh, the title was "the visitor" and it was 1973 (got part of it right)
...the first 2 were moved to other classrooms. it took the 4 child's placement to get my daughter back into another class after I had pulled her our because of her physical abuse...
in pieces, kris? LOL
I had a teacher once who casually commented to the class that she was feeling much better after taking a few weeks off after her nervous breakdown, and who had a sign at the back of the room listing conjugations of "myself" which included "theirself"...
the **** is something that people have if they can say things nicely.
...and that was based solely on the fact that I was the only single parent out of the 4 students affected.
oh man, monkey -- what a sad thing.
sh 7 the first one anyone?
lol stidmama :)
For the record, I did like her.
kris, I got TWO in6 from your clues....
woohoo!
ruru, do you have the magic marker pen?
Stid, her name isn't Hetty Clews by any chance?
yes
need the first one
okay, I must dress and take the stidkid in question to the tuxedo shop... his tux is in. He made it into the SENIOR band for the coming year (he'll be a sophomore). *proud mama look* and now that his braces are off and he has a new haircut he is looking quite dapper.
ty kris
:-D movieman, you're quick!
that's the only 7 I have yet. But I'm not finding lots today
My ex-husband was taught in the 6th grade that the atronauts could only stick to the surface of the moon because of their magnetic boots, since there is no gravity on the moon... and I was taught in the 5th that the sun and moon rise on oppiosite sides and if you're lucky you can see them cross each other...
the only sh7 I mean
Oh great! Congratulate him for me and give him a hug!
Just looked it up on the 'ol database!!!!
I have a pic of the stidkid on the website at the moment. Kinda weird angle I was sitting on the sofa taking the pic up at him.
where did you do to school monkey? arkansas? (with apologies to the now much-improved school system there)
Congrats Stid, I know you are proud of his accomplishments
California. Both ends.
thanks all, for the support. It means a lot. And the kid will lots of hugs today. I promise.
Good! Now you go have a nice day, darn it!
oh -- california's system is irregular at best, even these days. glad we don't live there.
see you-all soon! *poof*

nope - def going for a cooler - be back in a sec with a cosmo
ti6 is a plural
these clash ruru!
A cooler? Well, you're the doctor. But I say if it's after noon one never hurt (most) anyone!
ti - plural of the 5 - myth gods
coller - something to cool me off
OK - definitely offended josh - LOLOL
Not a wine cooler then...
cooler, not coller
no, no wine cooler
Feet in cold water or damp cloth on the neck work for me.
Or lemonade.
phaeton you around?
ALL T's finally vanquished!!!
Yay!
2 more t's for me, pugmama, and then it's off to the 80 bajillion s's
any help with 1st & last sh7-8 pairs (have the markers)
thanks, pug
for what Babs?
sh7 - like magic marker pens for white boards
and plural
for the sh clue
other - sh7 - small of stature and c** spy group
went cucumber martini instead... really is cooling in the heat
crisp
what it the first sh please
ty but Had the markers need first 7-8 pair
Oh, kje, going to bed here soon but wanted to say I have not killed my back again but I humbly acknowledge that I did all stupid-like and I got it out of my system and will cut it out and rtest the darn thing.
me too
the first sh7/8 has 3 vowels
two immediately after the sh
agood clue! Thanks!
perhaps how someone with a lisp would say the name of the devil
first re 5 / 6 - is it a combo
Which is not accepted but acting like it is...
ty josh the devil clu I can use!!
thanks a lot josh..I couldn't find it knew the I was involved
anyone have the in 7?
sh + "w*** for me!!" + **tique
i cant get that one either ruru
Mine was a veiled reference to sa7/32, for anyone missing that
and plural
the 2 vowels was a given but after that ,too many possiblities
this sh is how islam refers to the devil
yes I do ruru
It's the root of the English word.
i am missing the sa7/32, but i have no idea what you're talking about, monkeygames
in7---in5 + just do **!
is it a latin kj?
ends in a color
Related to the devil
no
oh pug!!! why did you do that!!!
The English name for the devil is not accepted by the dictionary here but the adjective is. Think verses.
lol - were you gonna get creative?
oh, duh
I was gonna use that clue for a little blackmail!!!
sorry thought some one asked for it
to make ruru beg
blackmail me on the first ma
lol
chog is flying dear ,mea culpa!
wait, is all this going down in the jacuzzi? should i hop back in?
I am already used to begging...
first IN word please?
i have it! do you kj?
OK, time to take the dog out to the grassy patch in range of the baby monitor and get up to bed. Have fun all! See you soon. Ideally tomorrow but my tow days of Walter in daycare while I'm home all day are over, so it'll be vastly more sporadic.

I had the vowel in there, and that didn't work -but needed the pl ending.

my silly dog cut her paw on something last sunday. The vet bandaged it so she is offering it up to everyone who comes to the door.... looking for sympathy...
I did autumn...but really no place to go today...we're at 93F and still rising...
...so I even kept my puppy indoors today
Where are you Pini?
Oregon
Is she getting her sympathy fix, autumn?
It isn't nearly that hot here... at least I don't think... I can't convert F to C anymore. It's 30 here right now
The dog gets NO sympathy (oh how I lie). She is pretty cute, though.
Will see if I can post some pics
brb
33C = 94F
30c is 84f
i'd much prefer that!
oops, 30c is 86f !

brb
I don't have 14 left...there are 14 Q's!....I still have 90 left to go
is anyone in here now using babble expert?
I am sharon
don't know what this is...unless you mean lickety?
dan, when you first open the babble page, how do you start the expert?
wb dan...what is babble expert?
do you do it from babble, lickety, where?
I don't open the Babble page...it is a separate program. I open Expert directly
hmmm....i wonder where I put that program, :)
elaborate?
I downloaded the program, hit "run" and just played....then I shut everything down...don't know where it is now ...I'll find it
pini...Babble Expert is a program that Lickety wrote/designed that has the Babble page, his list, and clues (if you want/need them) all on one page. It also has an "ADD" box that you type words into that puts them on both lists, and if you have more than one word sends it to chat
first an5/10 please
(the add box is a life saver! can not tell you how many times it has saved me from typing a word into chat!)
Oh...you mean the link I use below...Lickety's Babble Clues...
NM
wow, how do i get that?
its great....there's a link on lickety's page
an + group that certifies mechanics (i think)
aryn - click on the link below (under Friends of Babble): Lickety's Babble Clues
I e-mailed lickety to get it...When i did it, he had an "agreement" with Dr God that you had to be a pro to get it...don't know if that is still in effect
then he sends you an e-mail with the program. I've only used it once, and don't want to play without it already :)
as7 please
a + st6
don't have st6
ok, i dont see the link, what am i missing?
Sharon...when I ran the exe file, i saved it to my desktop so I would know where it was
yes I did, thanks for as7, dan
st6 makes your clothes stick together after the dryer
aryn...do you see the Friends of Babble at the bottom of your screen (on the left)?
help with te7 and te8 please
yes, i know how to get to lickity, i dont see the link for the expert on his page
and I just put it on my tool bar....thanks, dan. :)
ohhh
ty though
aryn...on Lickety's page is his e-mail address...you have to e-mail him asking for it
ohhh, ok, y
does anyone have that first in 6/18?
*ty
is it the babble browser?
sharon...there is a file called "Babble Expert v12.ini" that went on my desktop when i installed it...I don't think it's super important, but it does seem to store my settings when I log off/close BE.
(v12 might be outdated now...but i like it!)
NM
I lose some of my inputed words sometimes when i leave and come back
i found it in my program files and put a shortcut on my toolbar start menu. thanks :)
aryn...scroll down the babble page to "Friends of Babble", click on "lickety's babble clues"...his e-mail address is on the right side near the bottom
brb
yes, i see that, am i asking him for the babble browser?
Babble Expert aryn
ok, ty
how about the os 7

Hi, all!
hi autumn
hi jellen
Hi Jellen. Hi dan!!!
hi Jellen
have sh8/50 may I have clues for the 2 other sh8's please
What happened to you Resha's paw, autumn?
1st sh8/45 is more than one devil (muslim)
She chased/scrapped with something in the yard on Sunday and ended up with a cut across the bottom of her big pad. No stitches - just tightly bandaged
3rd sh8 is plural of sh5+2 vowels
sh8/50 - a type of permanent marker (pen).
Probably hurt her pride more than anything.
brb...a courier is here
She's being a total baby. shows everyone her owie. wants cookies
(offered up the sh8/50 for those who didn't have it)
LOL! Can't blame her. I want cookies too.

Thanks, autumn!

still need most of the re's
take care, nan...well done
crossys back from his home located penalty box:)
did you learn anything?
nope:)
*shakes head* men
what did you do wrong?
guess i learned not to compare women who have legs up to thier necks when my five foot nothing wife is standing beside me:/(actually she is the best)
ROFL
let me guess, crosshair is watching beach volleyball
petite is good, too...better than being an amazon...
so long as her legs reach her bottom there's no comparison, women with legs to their necks and nothing in between are no fun :o)
nope was browsing 40,s pin up girl poster sites
oi vey
same difference
am I outnumbered at the moment?
agrees
you're lucky you only got the pb
Pini, petite is good if you're a 13 or 16-year old gymnast, but in my next life, I would definitely come back TALL
very rarely do we ever have any form of guy power in here:)
gads, I'd better slink into the corner and behave
my eldest daughter is petite and she hates it
my youngest is 5'7" at 17 and she hates that too
I'm not petite and height is not all its made out to be!
what's wrong with petite?
<-- 5'10.5"
i love my pockets sized wife,her head rests perfectly on my chest when we dance;))
wow
4'10"
I'm relatively tall (5'9") and like it for the most part...
i have a friend who's 5ft 1/2 inch and if i forget that half inch she nips me
I just have problems finding dresses and pants that are long enough...
Hate shopping for clothes, though...
hi to all that came in while I was outside.
hehe
not tall can be fun! :)
wb autumn

Not be, Skoo, but Inge has that problem so she starts from the bottom and works her way up at times
I wish, autumn...started doing that, but it just hasn't taken complete hold yet. :(
go go Jacq
There are about 35 words missing that I've entered. just disappeard.
not me skooj, have you tried refreshing the page?
jacq...that's not fair...you're catching up with me!
Hi everyone! Going to play for a few minutes before I get back to cleaning my house.
Hi Wickd
I think I will do that. Refresh. All the words from "s" down have disappeared. Thanks.
lol i doubt i would pini, you're fast
hi wickd
Hey mom and...the other mom.
fast? you're funny!!!
Hi, wickd
And Jellen. :)
Jessmom, thank you. I got them back. Whew!
(who might be a mom too)
ugh... I cant believe my job has kept me from here for most of the day like this.. the nerve! 6 hours of work out of 8 hours being here... bah!
how about ho 2, 4, 5?
Hi Ice
Well that's just ludicrous, Ice.
hi mom :)
I can't get the qu 6/27, the one after 9
what do they think that is? A place of business?
Wickd? Are you making an announcement?
qu 6/27 is plural of qu 5/16
my son plays them in the drum line
No, lol. I was wondering if Jellen was a mom since all the other moms had said Hi to me.
sure sounds like it wickd ...are you?
ho #2 one who ho #1, ho #4 one who ho4/6, ho #5 plural
no, the one just after the 9...ther first of 3 6/27's
sharon it's like the qu8/55 bit only one vowel instead of two vowels and a consonant and it's a different vowel
guess I haven't got that one yet
i only have two qu 6/27 so far
If I hit myself on the forehead one more time, will someone tie my hands down, please????? (thx jess/sharon)
i have all the qu's
can clue them if you need
yw pin
so how is everyone?
groovy ice, you?
i still don't see it jac...i'm sorry
prettty good, Ice, and you?
its the last one, lol
i keep typing in quatro like that's english
Grrr. I really need to get cleaning (having a housewarming tomorrow)! I'll come back after I tackle the bathroom
well I was actually doing pretty good. as mentioned kinda busy for a friday. and then I come here late and trying not to complain that I most likely wont get near finished with this grid!
sharon, take a 25 cent piece, remove 1st hook ltr and rearrange last 2 ltrs
go wickd go!
bye bye Wickd, hurry back
You'd think that taser would be a word, from all the time it's in the news.
ok try a different vowel one before that one in the vowel list
the second vowel maybe?
oh halleluja
i can't believe I finished this on :)
one even
WOOHOO! SHARON!

Pini, do you have the sh8 that is the pen?

(quiet note to Pini - when asking for clues, it might help if you ask for ha4/5 instead of ha 1. Some of us aren't using the list yet but had the word)
yep, bzz...
If you remove the first letter of that you get the ha7
(quietly responds...oops...will do so accordingly - thanks!)
thx bzzn
YW
I kept trying a double vowel oi
Not an oops, pini. ;)

hi, red
How difficult do you think doing that interview was for SHawn Johnson?
Hi Pam!
good night all, have fun!
have fun jessmom
ciao, jessmom
pe6/7 clue please?
pe?
there goes Lagat...
don't say who wins or anything...it's not on here yet! :(
See Pam, yo ucan Boycott the olympics, but I can not help giving them to you in commentary.
LOLOLOL, red. Who is Lagat...
Hi and Pinkula i love your name
Kenyan RUnner, now American citizen...not a good race for him though, he keeps getting trapped.
hi, herin
Oh, red
Thank you!
thanks for the updates, red
pe7/8? guedd it'd time to turn on a lamp
Red is he one of the 'lost boys'?
no Lagat is Kenyan, though he is an American Citizen.
Lomong is running tonight though, the Lost Boy...
He's sooooo typically Sudanese, its hysterical to me. I love him. All the bling bling...
Ok thats right. Hey be greatful i actually remember some of the stuff
pe 7...to relate to
and plural
hi herin. How's it?
OWL is there just one pe 8?
Really good today. YEsturday crabby moo.
And your selff?
good, good
I read a great piece not long ago that featured some lost girls... TO think that that phenomenon, and what is giong on in Darfur, what happened in Rwanda and Laos coudl happen while the Holocaust and pogroms are still almost fresh in history's memories... OK, off the soapbox
no theres is another one, a lowly country person
also the qu8?
Its depressing Pam. I can say that how people live in Sudan is so foreign to the developed world that its hard for people to relate.
to, is the country person only a 7?
TO...i think that's a 7
Pam i remember seeing on Oprah 2 lasses that hid in the trees in Africa and were recently reunited with their parents (whom they thought may be dead)
Lomong is running now. He ran poorly I think in the trials...so I hope hope he has got it together. He was the US flag bearer
Oh, I am sure that the way people live has everythign to do with it, red...
WOW, herin
not running well in the heat. :(
Let me see f i can find that link.
Do you mean you, red, or loming? (Running in the heat)
Lomong...I am actually running awesomely for me.
Excellent, red!
*beats head on desk* aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaargh
Listen to Red and how excited she sounds (SO CUTE)
pr5,12 (desperately!)
TO?
he's running the same bad strategy as he did in the trials... but its better now.
making his move...
not poetry, but pr, pinik... or, p + a **** by any other name is just as sweet
not poetry, but pr, pinik... or, p + a **** by any other name is just as sweet
Thanks for the play by play, red!
Now, he looks good....Pam....you shoudl watch this really.
not poetry
I am watching Numb3rs...
the one before the 'not con'
he's looking really good. finished fifth....moves to the next heat. I think he will not advance much further....on SUnday.

go kim go
Herin - we're booked up to go to a show in October (just before our next holiday) called 'Vampires Rock!' The website is vampiresrock.com (you'll have to go through IE to see it as it doesn't come up in FF).
Coool Jac
Herin - it's a bit like The Rocky Horror Show in that the audience usually dresses appropriately for it.
http://vampiresrock.debzwebz.biz/ Is this it?
Might do it, Herin. There are videos on the official site I gave you.
Yes, you should be able to see the vids etc., from that site.
This site is working in FOx
Yes, that site works in FF. However, the original site I gave you doesn't. It seems the same,though.
Jac do you know if they change the lyrics of the words?
Herin? Not sure what you mean. The lyrics are the words.
Sorry - does anyone need clues while we natter on about shows?
Yes ok for instance um instead of saying 'Welcome to the Jungle we have fun and games' For instance they add at Britchs we have the biatch's
fireworks!
Well done, Kim.
Herin - I don't know. I haven't seen the show yet. We don't go until October.
Yah Kim. Jac its the same as what they do here at Dracula's or Witches on a HUGE scale. Jac i thought you may nknow something about it. Sounds mega fun. I laughed so much last night
Haz is back from her holiday today or tomorrow. I'm looking forward to receiving her write up on it. I've forgotten where she's gone now, but I know it was somewhere interesting.
oh, cool, it'll be nice to see her again
Hydra hasn't sent me the first chapter of her book yet. I was looking forward to that for bedtime reading. Or maybe she has sent it and it's disappeared into the ether for now.
no comment
was wondering why evenings on here was more friendly.
Anyone need clues before I leave?
oh, cool, halfway! :)
Bzzz only about 186 of them
3rd ra4,4
I'm done thanks, Bzz.
ra4 - mispelled run
ra...knock down(as a building)
logging off, see you all tomorrow.
3rd ra4 = what you do with the rubber thing on the end of a pencil minus the first letter.
Bye, lbd
g'night, dawg!
'Bye dawg. See you again.
Me too. Night, Dawg
sn
it
ty, hillary!
...ack! bloody laptop
reminds me of The Electric Company LOL
Hello, Hillary. You still go to the PB, even though you split the word. LOL
sorry guys
Hillary thats ok
Shall we make her put some money in the swear box, too, guys?
*slips hillary some cash under the table*
dcs - the swear box money is wat pays for the goodies and the jacuzzi in the PB.
When we have big grids, it's usually pretty well filled.:-)
hm. we could move the PB to NYC - water's free there.
Is it really, dcs? How wonderful.
yes, only place in the US the gov't provides water for free.
98F = UUUUUUGH!
I assume it's not untreated water?
no, it's filtered, and flouridated at minimum
it always tastes good, and has yet to make me ill when visiting
unlike in Boston, where i get ill from drinking too much of it.
Actually, if I could afford the thousands of pounds to bring it out of the ground and have it tested, I could probably have free water as there are two or three natural springs on my land. However, I'd still have to pay for my drainage from land drains and sewers.
Boston has worst water in the East that i've tasted yet.
my aunt gets water from an underground spring. she's a spigot that bypasses the water softener for drinking water.
i love that dirty water...
last te5, pl?
ra4,4 (just under lots of water from the sky)
te + beg of dried fruit
Have you ever been to London or Kent in UK, dcs? If you look into a kettle there it is full of white gunk that comes with the water. Every hot drink you make has a film of scum atop it. YUCK! Our water here in Worcestershire comes partly from a private spring and partly from Wales.
i've not yet been to the UK, but it's high on my list for next year. so many people ther i want to see, and a promised greek dinner in London
LOL - I must clean my specs. I read that as a 'geek dinner'.
bag of dried fruit....hmmm....
I think a geek dinner is probably pizza delivered to eat on your lap whilst indulging in role play games on the computer.
Where I live we get water from a lake, all well sanitised and monitored, but sometimes in the summer it smells moldy -- hello, pals
good evening; is everyone happy tonight?
no, the geek dinner will be in Oxford, with my friends from the physics lab
hello all!
good evening, jill!
Hi jilli! Lovely to see you. Our water smells like that sometimes.
hi, stid!
I have 103 words to find still. wonder if I will finish...
LOL, dcs.
(((Jacula)))!!! and Jill! and phand! (I have 161 to go)
anyone have a clue for the MA 5/18?
dc, my late cousin was a don in logic and metaphysics at Worcester College, Oxford. Old Sh'ai friends live in Goring-on-Thames, etc etc
oh, nifty, jill. your family has the most fascinating bits in it.
hi stid -- I only have 243 to go -- no time as usual
ah, found the fruit
ma+ 5pm is ***tting time for some folks
Hi stiddy.
Phelps #7 gold
so much for watching
;)
true, dc :)
huh. that marker brand is a word.
hi all. anyone like to clue in6/21? And the in6/18s?
in + suit****(for travel)
Hi skooj. in6.21 = in + what you pack to go on holiday.
air time out here doesn't start until 8pm
1st th5/12, pls?
in6/18 = to put something into something else.
2nd in6.18 = in + something that shines in the sky or in showbiz.
just got that one jacula, thanks.
in6= in**** tab A into slot B
1/100 of a second got Phelps that 7th gold
that's amazing, jilli
*sigh*
HE is amazing, dc!
pini -- congrats on going pro :)
dcs - 1st th5/12 is another spelling for being very meticulous in a search or something.
oy, ty , jacula
thanks....
hi jac
Thanks. in6/21 is to put something into something else. I think I am missing another in6/18. Have the shining one.
and hi everyone
Hi again, jilli.
(swimming coverage doesn't start for another 45 mins here)
Hello to everyone who has come in whilst I was in the grid...I'm going back in now!
sorry, got pulled away for a moment
pinikula -- did you just go pro?
Jilli - did you ever work out how to get your trip on blog to read the right way up? I'm encountering the same problem trying to put my Crete thing to blog.
Hil had to get food organised
am I repeating myself? Sorry -- bien fatiguéeas usual
I did, Stid!!!
jac -- I don't have a blog :(
i hate how itchy peeling is.
well done! :-D *rushes off to see profile*
2nd in6/21 = complete/all in one piece/virgin.
yjrtr
yjrtr d mpyjomh ,ij yjrtr uryz@
Let me translate that...
yay for food, herin
I am sorry, I asked for an MA 5/18 clue and then Phelps just swam the most incredible race. Can I get it again?
there's nothing much to see yet
pini, you have a cat?
a cat???
I LOVE the icon, pinikula, it's way pretty in big size!
um... where did he swim this race? I missed it!!!!
thanks :)
did you put your finders on the wrong starters, pini?
I am waiting for the pancake batter to do its thing. May offer to new neighbours if they return in time
Thank you, thank you Jacula!
it was the 100 Fly.
giberish oft means a cat on the keyboard :)
*innocently* yes, Jilli
Phan - there was a cartoon of a sunken swimmer in my newspaper today. The speech bubble read, 'I knew we shouldn't have let Phelps swim wearing all of his medals!'
stid, Phelps swam in China, lol
rofl Jac!
lol jacula
that's funny, Jacla
* Jacula
snicker Jac
*trying to decipher pini's code"
oh you silly jilly! *grin* i meant which channel. have switched to CBUT in hopes they will show it again.
so does no one have an MA 5/18 clue then?
ma 5/18 was clued a little bit ago, I think it means mask in french? ma + I ***t this job!
I translated, Jilli
ma5- tribe from voyager world
Waves hello to anyone i missed whilst in kitchen
Sorry Jilli, it's Hetty's blog I was thinking of, not yours (and you don't have one). But you SHOULD have one.
oh man. I found the OP 8 by myself...
Hey, what's this "My Friends" tab for?
thnx, Stid
ohh, I am below a 100 words to find!
if you go to the "who's online" tab pinikula, you can "friend" people. Then they show up in your friends tab even if they aren't online if you want to check their profiles
go phand go!
ta4/5 after 'spoils'?
I am over this stupid T words.
*shyly asks* Anyone wanna be my friend?
That's not my most senior moment from past couple of days, Jilli. I asked my Other Half where the 'thingey' (the piece of card I had my knitting row numbers on) was when I was holding it in the hand I was waving at him asking where it was! (Is there any hope left for me, do you think?)
down to 90 left. clue for the ro6/18? please?
me, pinikula -- I have put you on my tab just now. :-D
ok! ;)
dc...scottish cap
Jac yes. Your only hope is being our humour at your senior moments :D
plural
Pinkular i just added you
the mafia used to be known as the Cosa No****--change "n" to "r"
Well thanks, Herin. Hmmm....
pini -- check "Who's Online" -- if you like those you see, add them to your "My Friends" and you can check their profiles any time. Try to get Sprite into you My FRidns because she posts the icon themes now.
good clue Une! thanks!
(merci bien, that is) :-)
yw :-)
whoo hooo!
stid, you're such a goofwad! LOL
Pink - it's not like Facebook or Myspace in that you add a friend and then they confirm or deny. You can add who you like.
Thx Une. Still had to ask hubby for the answer
wow, those race walkers that are on the screen at the moment look about ready to fall...
Une - what the hecking heck is a goofwad?
haha goofwad... haven't heard that in years
Heard of goofball not goofwad
did I get it wrong Une? *worried look*
thx herin
uh, well, just someone who's silly but in a good way :-)
apparently, Jac -- *i* am a goofwad!
no, you didn't get it wrong!
goofwad is common in NA english
autumn...can I add you to the list since you help assimilate me?
sure Pini.
oh good! *relieved look* I was actually trying that time!
ty for scottish cap!
stid, my best friend will tell you I call her that all the time! LOL
pini, please add me, pretty please!
there. halfway!!!! *runs to get list*
okey dokey!
surprised seain didn't have the cap already ... needs something to cover all that white hair *wink*
hair up there not nearly as white as my beard
and i have always thought white hear to be a good thing.
well, I have no hope here -- enjoyed the chat -- off to get supper -- wtg stid!
i'm so glad i'm not going yellow like grandpa!
njoy, jill
Oh dear! I just unthinkingly ate a Marmite ricecake. Beloved will KNOW the moment I breathe in his direction. He hates the stuff, I love it.
{{{jill}}} stay cool!
marmite ricecake, yum!
you could always use a blue rinse, dc, lol!
eek! AC 8/9? help help help! *drowning in tiles*
Oh well, the deed's done now. Might as well eat another one.

FAIRIE hugs

Hi faerie! Long time, no see.

hi angel and lexiee too!
Hi Jellen. I have not seen you around. How are things
MRP!!!!!! *does cartwheels*
OH I have something really weirdo to tell you all!!!
it's about d**n time! I miss you!
Hi MrP and Angel and Jilli and Stid and Lexless and Phan and MLF and everyone
hi stid!!! (((hugs stidi!!)))
Things are good, DR. Thanks for asking. Have you started the new job?
*ears flapping eagerly*
*waiting for weirdo news*
! month from today!
hey DR
Did i miss my clue???
last night, someone came into our house!! they came in through the back yard and put the cat inside our house!!!!
????? what? that is truly WEIRD!
did you WANT a cat?
neighbors who didn't like the cat being outside???
whoa!!! weird indeed!
they opened up the back door and placed the cat in the house, just before sunrise!! I was awoken by noise outside
how odd, mrp
I can't believe that someone did that!! it is truly odd!
would you go and put someone's cat into their house??? before dawn???
a bit scary too, I think, mrp
lexie are you here??
oh oh.... I am getting really bad lag in the chog. gotta go.
me? no, of course not.
later stid?
Oh wiat I m slow - that is weird! I have never put a cat in a house but have put dogs back in their yards
Maybe they thought it was Jess cat (if that was the case kitty would have spent the night in my laundry)
it is enough to frighten the daylights out of me! Who and what person would do that, and for what reason?
hasta, stid
My question is why wsant the door locked??
it is scary... we leave our back door unlocked in the early morning, cause Lickety put the cat out to go toilet at 5am... we didn't think to lock it again, as we were up at 7am
bye stid -- cul8r
bye Stiddy
and, we back onto the bush... someone has come up through the scrub and jumped the fence I think.
don't need to lock doors in this corner of paradise
bye stid, take care
jilli, same here. It is truly unusual behaviour
lucky you Jilli!
could they have come round the side, mrp?
why is that jilll?
dcs, they would have had to come through the side gate, and we would have heard the gate. They have come over the fence for sure
mlf, in rural areas, one need not lock much of anything. keys to tractors are in the tractor
mlf, because it's paradise, lol
Our neighbours think it is an 11 year old boy that has been asking about the cat, and where it lives etc. Now, an 11 year old doing that is bad enough
how eerie, mrp.
we are right outside of town and we lock our doors
I would love to know what possesses someone to do that. Does it sounds like a young person would do that?? to you all, in your opinion?
not an 11yo btwn 5-7am!
mrp someone who is just really weird lol
That's it for me!!!!!
could be, mrp. People do much worse things.
and so early inthe AM
possibly, mrp, though how many (sober) up-to-good young people are up at that hour?
YAY autumn!!!
are you all out, autumn???
got 'em all???
that's an hour that usually even criminals are asleep
Maybe they were sleepwalking lol
it is stranger than strange for us. hmmm, you are right dcs... must be a weirdo!! I am locking everything now!!
my last word was the ni6 - forgot to plural the ni5
Where did lexie go????
pr 9 please
that is possible, mlf, if not likely
Yay, autumn moon!!!
