Went to a wonderful performance of South Pacific today. The male star was a very talented HUNK called Steven Edward Moore, making his Canadian debut. He has had leading roles all over the world, plus classical concerts at Carnegie Hall, Lincoln Center, etc. I tried to google him with no real result! Have any of you heard of him?
goodnight book take care see you next time
hm. just a sec, Jill *runs off to look up "hunk"*
been drowning in the grid ... good night all who are leaving.
stid lol
no jilli but perhaps I'd better try to get over to see that
My first date with George was to see the movie South Pacific
Oh DO, flosey -- it's just marvellous -- one of the best Chemainus shows
maybe I could even get him to go - for old times sake
might have been in Lady in the Dark in London?
hey ladyN!
oh my, flosey.... south pacific is something I was weaned on.
Yes, stid
hiya stidmama!
flosey, it's on until Aug 31
okay.... *looking more*
ok stid, how did you find out that about Steven?
aha - perhaps we'll go to celebrate our 47th anniversary
when is that, flosey?
a cast album was made for that jill
Aug 26
googling, Jill, and patience..
why couldn't I find him by googling?
flosey -- it's a MUST
"Steven Edward Moore (Emile de Becque) returns to B&B since last appearing as Julian Marsh in 42ND STREET. Credits include NYC: SWEENEY TODD (NY Philharmonic); CAROUSEL (Carnegie Hall); GRENDEL (Lincoln Center); Radio City Music Hall's CHRISTMAS SPECTACULAR. Europe: LADY IN THE DARK, Randy Curtis (London's Royal National Theatre); PHANTOM, the Phantom (Germany). Regional: CAMELOT, Sir Lancelot; INTO THE WOODS, Rapunzel's Prince; OKLAHOMA!, Curly; BRIGADOON, Tommy; THE SOUND OF MUSIC, Capt. von Trapp; Steven is also a featured soloist in major concert venues in & around NYC. " from http://www.beefandboards.com/castphoto s/soutpacific/pixandbios.html
the second element, jill, was patience... *big wink*
Stid, we had the chap who wrote the 100 mile diet book here for dinner - George had been asked to take him around the island, we only found out during dinner that he had written the book
wow jilli stid definately knows how to google lol i remember you saying those fingers just fly
that's pretty much the write-up in our programme, stid. By "patience" do you mean you kept scrolling?
golly, flosey! *drops in a faint* you know the MOST interesting people... you also know me! LOL
yes, Jill... and refining -- once I found a link with the london play I added that to the search and kept going.
for sure stid, and yet another very interesting lady
kia ora all hugs happy babbling sorry im late been cooking and baking
have you ever met Jill? She's pretty interesting... *silly face*
well, I guess I'm no expert at googling. All I could find by that name was a guy who sang with a Mennonite choir somewhere
indeed jill is a very interesting lady
kia ora, Kiwi!
*sniffs air expectantly* too much to ask for cookies, I suppose?
perhaps way back in his early years jilli
silly idea, stid, lol!
*going to use that URL*
kia ora kiwi hows the head ok
if a single man can be manly, why can't a group be "menly?"
i did corn fritters and cheese on toast for dinner tonight
then i made a beef casserole to put in the crockpot in the morning
and now there is a double chocolate chocolate cake in the oven cooking
the head is fine and dandy lol
*sitting in middle of kitchen floor - creating a roadblock - until cake is ready to eat*
good to hear you seemed to just drop off last night thats all
lol stid
i was just tired and tiddly and the two dont mix when your trying to babble lol
and ill let you have the first piece stiddy - iced or uniced?
there are a lot of rather silly 4/5 and 4/4 words
here's the short version if you want to see Steven Edward Moore: http://tinyurl.com/5bvtbv
half and half, Kiwi? if it's no trouble... I am watching my waistline increase!
im a moore too jilli but mine is spelt Moar
true kiwi that awful weather has it passed
ok half iced and half uniced
but I'd like more info, like where he was born and such. He had a perfect French accent in the show...
this moore gentleman is jillis "hunk"
we have had two most gorgeous days lore - got all the washing out on the line and dried and didnt light the fire until about an hour ago but back to grotty for the coming week
interesting spelling kiwi -- do you know the derivation?
and grey stuff in his hair, I guess
that sounds just lovely, kiwi -- you get weather like that even in the winter???
i am the illegitimate however many great grandchild of the lord of the manor and his chambermaid - back in the 1400's on the shetland islands off the top of scotland but im not scottish lol
I'm watching my waistline too, but no matter how long I stare at it it stays the same or gets plumper
WOW kiwi! what a heritage!
yes stiddie AND whats more my mums daffidols are flowering already
LOL Jill! we're so alike. I would do better if Tom weren't such a great cook.
oh kiwi, you are so lucky to live someplace like that... though I suppose it gets tiresome? *considers offering to trade*
the buffet at Chemainus didn't help matters today -- all a South Pacific theme -- delicious.
dont need to trade stiddy you are more than welcome to come hibernate any day or night or season just let me know when to pick u up at the airport
my phatom today is "myrtle"
:-D *starts packing bag and wonders if the cake will last that long*
ill make a brand new one for your visit
it's always a great buffet at Chemainus - tend to overdo !
*calls cab to go to airport*
of course mayne guy has seen himself in the grid already?
would you like to have christmas day out on the deck in shorts and halter top with the bbq sizzling away and a wine in one hand and a sun hat in the other?
I must get to bed, started out about 1/2 hr ago!
sweet dreams again flosey, love to the mr.
my phantom: friday
goodnight flosey sleep well
see you tomorrow at flip
did that as a child in Puerto Rico... and LOVED it!

hello mrp
youd love it even more here i promise you stiddie lol
hello mrp! is the cat in or out today?
hi lore, kiwi, stid et al :))
there goes the scottish drams see that wine is still in your brain kiwi lol
well considering im having a bit more of it tonite lol
my biggest dream is to own a huge floating tropical island that can hold all my lovely friends who are free to travel, and then float the world to visit my friends who can't travel... wifi on the island of course, so we never miss a grid!
and ruru captaining the cabana boys? lol
cat is sitting outside with mark in the bitter cold... he at least has the good sense to put on the fire. I still won't go out there.... brrrrrr, too cold!
and lil managing the bar
*hands blankie to mrp and a hot toddy to lickety*
kiwi, one of our usual theatre-goers had some relatives from NZ at the show with us -- they were originally from here but are now there -- in a town of about 20,000 on the west side of the North Island (I forget the name)
and i guess that means im stuck in the kitchen being head chefette?
yes, and Jill and hetty in charge of the entertainment
yep kiwi
Morning again for a few minutes!
HI
oh no kiwi! I think Dachef can do that for us. He'll just direct the extra cabana boys and then join us in the hot tub
oh now neat jilli but there are a ton of towns on the west side of NI so id hate to hazzard a guess
hey herin
hey MG and herin hugs happy babbling
MG how was dinner with spritey??
hello lady!
hey monkey!
Groovy hun sorry about friday and my grumpy cow attitude (people were giving me the irrates)
morning monkey did you have a great day yesterday at sprites
kiwi, I just looked up the NZ map but none of the names rang a bell unless it was Marton or something like that -- not a Maori name.
jilli do they still speak with a canadian accent or have they picked up the kiwi one?
tis ok herin - i still lubs ya <--------------- this much ------------->
Oh yes! She's a really great lady with a fantastic family! I thought though that Walter would spend a lot of time sitting around with me like he does, but he loved her kids so much he really overdid it and is very tored today. But we had an absolutely grand time! The dog too!
i just wish you could all come and visit and id hire a posh tourist bus and drive you round and round for weeks and weeks
yay so pleased to hear that
YAh sorry.
oh great MG so pleased you both enjoyed yourselves
kiwi you trying to make me homesick or something lol
:-D wonderful, monkey! you wanna join the floating babble party?
That would be just grand, Kiwi!
oh -- when you said MG I thought you meant MayneGuy and wondered how he got to sprite's so fast
lol jilli
Excellent Monkey. Glad fun was had all round
i just kinda figured you must of been having a really bad day to get shirty at me lol
rofl jilli
well, Tom is getting all the extra laundry off the bed. I think it's a hint... *yawn*
hugs and sweetest dreams stiddy so nice to see you at nite :)
think you might be right there stid
We were both kind of nervous, you know, because people can seem so different online, but no, we really clicked. It was great.
down to 52. probably won't have time to play tomorrow. We'll see...
kiwi -- dad has a tiny twinge of kiwi accent, daughter (in Year 9) more so.
Monkey -- that is EXACTLY how it was with hetty and Jill and flosey and raelite and... LOL
herin i got a piece of double mix chocolate chocolate cake for ya when it comes out of the oven
{{{{hugs kiwi}}}} see you again soon, I hope. Be well everyone! *poof*
Yep. Friend was meant to come over with clothes and she piked and then offered me her other clothes that she had (which I know i wouldn't fit) MOnkey fantastic Now i need the zapper thingie to work so i can poof over to everyones house
it can be so funny sometimes to have imports getting a mix of both kiwi and still having their own accent
MMM fake cake (saves my butt getting huge)
monkey -- that sounds so great -- and that Walter and her kids got along too!
Bye Stid, take care!
Night stiddy!
Hi herin!
I was wondering where you were earlier, herin
<------- is now a bit happier too cause kiwis have 5 medals after last nights haul
fireworks here
YAY josh!!!
woopee josh well done
woohooo wtg josh ^5
kiwi, I called them for you!!
hi mrp :)
time for sleep here on the east coast
jilli might it have been Masterton that is on the east coast though not too far from kiwi
hi jilli :))
did anyone watch the womens double skulls when we won in a hairs breath?
Yeah, her kids are ten and 12 and just tllk him off to see their rooms and play in teh adjacent playground and so forth. I got to relax! Her son even helped Walter make a very nice necklace, and gave him a stone from his collection, and her daughter gave him a small teddy bear.
Canada has 4 medals now I think -- at last!
How sweet, monkey!
oh how sweet he must of been in seventh heaven almost
OH wonderful MOnkey. Figured Sprities little sprites would be as lovely as her
lore, I think it was a shorter name -- I'll remember it in the middle of the night, duh
Her kids are p[olite and smart and friendly and fun and creative. Just like one would think.
the olympics are certainly bringing out the wonderfulness of competing! I love the man who last competed at the games in 1964!! He is 67 now and came back into dressage
http://www.artisse.com.au/ Hands around this chocolate
Wish I'd actually "forced" Walter to take it easier though. He still isn't all that well, but he acted like it yesterday and is pale and tired today and again complaining of a sore throat. I guess it'll be back to the doctor.
i like that mark todd came out of retirement even tho he didnt win anything
Monkey what is your blog again please? I swapped pc's and don't have it anymore
monkey! so glad you had a lovely time! The sprite kids certainly are sweet! It is great to hear stories about our babblers in real life!
oh mrp, I wish I'd seen the dressage! I haven't seen ANY equestrian coverage!
its all been on way to late at night for me so ive missed a lot of the equestrian stuff too
jilli!!! ((hugs)) you have been deprived darling!
www.goldenappledesign.com/blog
herin -- your icon is hilarious!
THnka you
They just show swimming here, darn it. Have I missed the equestrian cross country?
Thnaks Jill. Hey. Snap we have the same sort of icon too Jill
if it's on too late at night for you, kiwi, I wonder what time it's on here!
Jilli it was most probably Marton which would be about 20,000 people its not on the coast though inland nice place though even if i say so myself lol
I haven't seen that on the schedule monkey
lore, that sounds about right. He said west side, not west coast.
OK, may still be a chance then! I'll look it up.
kiwi is 4 hours ahead of china, so the even stuff can be late
'evening stuff
i am loving this new chocolate
brb checking on cake
but here on the west coast of Canada...?
equestrian eventing was 12th and 13th.
our Perth babblers are enjoying the games... same time zone
oh dang -- missed it then. What about show jumping? Is the dressage over?
Oh bummer!
dressage is still on the 19th
ok cake out of the oven be ready in about 15 min after its cooled down
showjumping 17th, 18th and 21st
Oh, I'd better get Eurosport on! Thanks!

Hi jilibus - lady, kiwi, everyone else I forgot

I just saw the most AWESOME French cheese store on the telly.

morning all
hi sprite
Hi!!!
kia ora spritey hugs happy babbling
unfortunately I haven't seen any video but it's because I haven't been finishing the grids :(
*hugs jilli and Kiwi and MonkeyG* How's the back today, MonkeyG?
any clues for the LE6 s?
Good morning Sprite
iluv, one is a sore
sorry luv havent got them yet
*hugs lobo*
It really rather sucks, to be honest. Won't be going to work tomorrow. Walter also really overdid it yesterday-- I should have enforced some rest! He's tired and unwell again, but not TOO bad, but I think we'll be headed back to the doctor Tuesday to push the idea that this could be something bacterial.
Lickety there was no video yesturday. HI SPrite
Worth it though! I've been telling these good people what a fine time we had!
el6 ?
she was just singing your praises spritey
it was good, wasn't it :) I overdid things too, this is going to be a bad day, lol. But as you said: worth it. Hope your little monkey is back to himself soon, he is a sweetie.
dunno, iluv
Iluv think of carmen el should help
Thanks! Part of his problem was that he woke up at 6:30 having to pee, and well, that was it, we were up!
argh, that is still night from my pov
monkey, how old is Walter now?
thanks lore.. it helped.. :)
Yeah, me too. And this was to eb the last day I can sleep in.
Walter will be 4 on September 18th.
Oh, such a cute age!
it was so much fun, Kiwi :D We started chattting and I think we only stopped for cooking (my part) and making a wonderful little owlet out of thin metal thread like magic (MonkeyG). And my kids took Walter everywhere, it was delightful to watch.
Just waiting for Daddy to calla nd say he's on the webcam in Germany waving at Walter; then Walter wants a shower and i need to Clean Up My House!
That owl is not my best work. Sorry about that.
Ok im having stupid what is the EL 6 clue please.
hey did ya all hear that i managed to find a photo of ruru today? and did you want to see it?
I do!
http://tinyurl.com/636m98
I wanna see ruru :)
Could not take the camera to Sprite's because Danny has it in Germany. That was a shame!
down to my last three
when you see it youll understand why i like ruru lolol seeing as where he comes from
lore should "click" without having to see lol
THat is very cool Groovy GO PAV
go pav go
Ha, ha, ha!!!
LOL, kiwi -- morepork indeed!
el 6 please
never mind
i havent got it sorry herin
lol lady, did you see my icon? Snap :D
..AHEM...
I did
speak of the devil yet again i swear your doing this on purpose now just to annoy me ruru
lovely picture, ruru :D
My computer is set for kiwi-watch
.. phhhhhhhhht
Hi Ru. As i have said don't summon him if you don't want him to appear
oh well ruru your just in time for a piece of double mix chocolate cake with white chocolate in it
lol herin
and guess what by the time i serve it up to those who have been here before you there will be none left lol
ohhhhhhh ruru! I didn't know you were that cute! MonkeyG asked me yesterday what my favorite animal was and I didn't know at first, and then settled on owls.
Jilli thankyou for Danny and Louis thoroughly enjoyed it hugs
start with me, Kiwi. Please.
Ru can have some of my cake if he likes
sure spritey - stiddy left without taking her piece
I am guessing with all the animals kiwi could have chosen from I should at least be a little relieved
oh -- didn't realise that was the video -- is it this grid's? I haven't finished yet
OK, Walter is feeling a bit needy and feels that I "have to put the compuer down so he can sit on me". Fair enough; he's not feeling so well. Off with me for now! Have fun!
i didnt choose it - the ruru is the maori name for morepork
which video, jilli? Ruru's image? That is a picture.
so its jsut fate lol
owls are so wise, except for pooh's Wol, of course
hugs for walter
hug him from me, MonkeyG
what if I am jewish..pork wont' work
no, sprite -- lore is referring to Danny Kay and Louis Armstrong
moreporkrocks
lol
lol sprite!
I will get even with you kiwi...
oh I am sorry, jilli. Got lost in chat track, I think. Haven't been able to see a vid in a couple of days now.
excuse me im just getting you back from the scare you gave me the other day
morkpork kiwi
neither have I, sprite -- as I said, because I haven't had time to finish
*leans back and gets ready to enjoy another Kiwi/ruru tumble
and me because the vids didn't show
you haven't even seen scare yet..
is that because you wont show your "real" face?
yes.. NOW that would be scary
mrs ruru didnt think so
still waiting for you to invite her to come chat with us while your not here lol
and this dreamworld you live in kiwi.. is it that large?
The video didn't work for me last night
video is going today everyone
for me neither, lady, nor the day before
must be if you can find your way in
i'm done! now for the Haagen Das! any scones left?
My b.f rocks. He bought me Turtle Mountain Soy icecream: Rich chocolate non-dairy frozen dessert overflowing with chewy brownie chunks and roasted almonds.

sorry kiwi - sprites ran out and I just quickly grabbed one at the flip - and jillubus had recently emailed me

I really have to get them all loaded
I'll have the strawberry - my favorite! or the sticky toffee pudding
thats ok lickety i can wait i mean gosh i sent ya a big of a huge list lol
here comes the strawberry, PAV, with some of the other one at the side. Cream?

Oh i miss hockey pockey ice cream
*seconds lobo on the owl*
sprite -- Netherlands got a gold in women's pair sculling (Canada bronze)
would send you over this new stuff herin but it probably would melt before customs seized it lol
*repoof*
hi, you fake poofster, good to see you still :) Yay for the Dutch winners!
We can buy the NZ stuff i just cant have it
do you know that ellen de generes had a barn owl on her show and she was making owl sounds to the owl and he was responding, apparently when she was a child she used to watch them all the time
i thought the kiwi women won that one by the hairs whisker or is this a different womens double sculls?
sounds wonderful, lobo
well, I had the Olympics on while I was about to check email...
must be something different, kiwi -- just watched the medal ceremony
okies then
herin i found the el 6 if you still need a clue
poor Kiwi. Want to have mine?
no we got 5 medals last nite 2 golds 1 silver 2 bronze
in that case I think our dutch girls deserve it.
that they do then
THats ok i found it. I was swapping stew pots over
good to hear
Burnt the bottom dang it
not good
oh lady, how are you to sit now....

oh 'eck spriteys gone soppy
I have that effect on people
yeah, so?
snap sprite hugs all
omg how the heck do you get a sn7 lol
yes i know and it affects me too ruru lol
suppose I will share tell everyone else to
could be a compound from the looks of it
i mean ive found it but just can fathom that its a true word lol
but then again, what do iknow about compounds. Any clue to share, Kiwi?
Found out a girl I used to go to primary school with and my cousin ended up marrying her brother she had a funny cough went to the doctor sent to the hospital ... they found she is riddled with cancer and have sent her home to die need to be so careful when i call no funny jokes which is what i usually do when it gets hot in the kitchen excuse the pun
adjective of the white stuff you get on the ground in winter
but i didnt know you could make it into an adjective
oh thats so sad lore
anyways that is why i am lingering find it hard sometimes to deal with pain and suffering of wonderful people
adverb
oh lobo, I am so sorry :(
sorry yes jilli is right adverb not adjective
sends group hug to lore
ah, adverb, ok. THanks. THanks for unpoofing again, jilli. *holds lobo for a bit*
oh, lore, that's horrible
okay, now I'm gone *hits x*
dont be sorry its ok believe me just I am not the most diplomatic person when it comes to these things but anyways to go on my way across the tasman (yes thats dutch) Sprite and see what can be done ... yes jilli not nice but these things happen up date tomorrow really truely ciao
I could never figure out why all the people who have so much to give and do are the ones who get cancer...such a mystery to me
*hugs jilli and lobo on their way out*
ruru: that often seems to be the case, doesn't it.
i had something profound to say but i lost my train of thought and now cant remember it
We have lost some great freinds in recent years and they had so much to live for...
and another train bites the dust
ahh ours is not to reason why but to accept that those who are taken from us have been taken for a purpose and are safe and secure in gods hands
anyone want to clue the top Y's?
not me, I just cannot seem to find them, hursh.
havent got them hurshey
** ruru quietly thanks hurshy for asking for the y's***
hm, yes, profound indeed, kiwi. I must admit to being more rebellic in that area. God can wait. We still needed them here.
i have the two ya male/s from the bottom but not anything else yet
I LIKE that attitude sprite
ok then, are there any ly's?
I have thebottom one greyed, but the upper one is a riddle.
I have the ye's
ya -as in doodle dandy alt spelling
ya6/33 & 7/48 = sounds like nickname for a US citizen but it's a spanish spelling. Use the tile points. .. and hello all
i used to be like that spritey until i saw my grandmother spend months in a semi comatose state from a stroke and was releived when god finally took her
love ya mitch
wow, never would have found those. Thanks FMitch and macadam, and hi
Hi Mitch.
akkkkk ty FM i got em now
yay
back at ya ruru :)
*** ruru gathers rose petals to toss as FM makes her grand enterance
Hello macadam, spritey Groovy, hurshy and all
Back to the Olympics.Back later.
gee fm gets rose petals and i get abuse shesh lol
we lost a beautiful woman almost 2 years ago, in only a couple of months from healthy to cancer-ridden. We still miss her sorely. I think God could have waited for her a couple more years.
ROFL
each her own, Kiwi, each her own
I haven't figured out what to get for you yet kiwi
yeah god has lots of time ..
sprite, sounds like you and MG really had a great time yesterday, it's great to meet other babblers isn't it.
ok, that sn word IS weird. Another enablism.
fo-gettaboutit
oh yes, FM, it is. And so wonderful to find it clicks just as well in real life as online. We just never stopped chatting, lol.
how about a clue on that sn?
has anyone thought about the fact that being an enabler is generally a bad thing
*hugs ruru*
adverb for cold white wintery stuff, ruru.
oh yes, hursh, more than once. I think the name must have been chosen on purpose.
Whats wrong with being an enabler?
for E have en4, eo4, ey4... what do i miss
it might be criminal behaviour, FM.
you are such a CO fm lol
el6/24
an enabler is usually someone who enables someone else to continue unhealthy habits like drinking or something
ty fm
exactly so. Anyone a drink?
Oh I ws thinking about it in a work sense
what a kewl video - i so love danny kay and watching old movies with him in it
are there any LY words?
yayyy Kiwi, congrats
one hursy a 5/14
I'm probably going to regert this ... but what does CO mean ruru?
co-dependant
ly5/14 hurshy
ty
that is another word for enabler FM
ah, meds are kicking in at last. Hallelujah.
did you get the sn7, ruru?
say no, I have this cute clue
yes thank you .. didn't realize it was a word
darn
lets see the clue anyways lol
Oh heck, just realised what the time is, must zoom off, back later. Happy Babbling.
have a grand day, FMitch!
bye FM have a good one
row row row your boat gently down the stream sn7, sn7, sn7, sn7, Life is but an icecream.
cute.. and fattenening
tsk... stupid male comment
lol
MEN are fattening.
lol spritey id have just said typical ruru comment lol
really?
oh yes. I gained most pounds through actions of my love. Twice.
you mean kids?
smart ruru
that is a good kind of fattening
lol
then again sometimes if you are heartsick you lose weight so men can be slimming too
i concer hurshy ive lost 33 kilos from that
when I get heartsick I eat chocolate. Noooo good for the slimming.
33 kilos??? wow
kiwi got rid of 200lbs of ugly fat recently
speaking of which, I think I need breakfast, even though I am not feeling well from too much pain. Back in a bit.
wow, go kiwi
she got a divorce
yup hurshy and so proud of myself - wish i had got rid of the ones ruru was talking about years ago too
how was the workout today?
we need a nicer word for the end of a marriage
divorce is such a nasty sounding word
no we dont hursy lol
like... you got a part-ways
..we went different ways...
bummed out big time ruru went to what i was expecting to be my initial assessment and walk through what we would be doing and it ended up just being a hello how are you this is us this is what we do now sign the forms and pay over your money and come back next saturday for your assessment thank you good bye lol
so i took the kids out for brunch instead lol
what id call it hurshy isnt worth repeating in front of gentle ears lol
I think a lot of the health clubs work that way kiwi
ah well. i'm stuck on my last nine and will try to get back to sleep now. ttfn
I should go too... it is 2:00 in the a.m.
sweet dreams hurshy
See ya hursh.. nite kiwi...talk to you tomorrow.
i was kinda disappointed has i had been so hyped up ready to get going lol
hugs ruru sweetest dreams see ya tomorrow nite
I prefer murder, hursh
bye ruru, sleep well
but ok, we went different ways will be good too. He 6 foot under, I to Paris. But that is when I think of my ex boyfriend, lol.
i wish mine went 6 ft under lol
*giggle* Had to be bad about it, sorry
but ya know its nearly 7 months now and im so over it and i really dont care what he doesn now or who hes "bonking" just the fact that he hasnt signed the papers yet and is farting about
yup, it is easier when all is settled. I hope he will do it soon, Kiwi.
ok, and I still need to hear something nice about my cute sn7 clue.
would i be evil saying i just wish i could just get the house all in my hands lol
sooner rather than later even tho hes still paying the mortgage
of course not, you should have it.
cant work out how sn7 rhymes with icecream lol
merrily doesn't rhyme with dream either. I see I have been throwing pearls before the swines again.
im thinking in more in the lines of ski ski ski yourself gently down the slopes sn7 sn 7 sn7 sn& look out for the big whiteout lol
i got it sprite
yayyy warthog, you just made my day :D
i did get it spritey was just winding you up lol
not nice, Kiwi.
sn 7 an adverb for the white stuff, an awkard word
hey i havent picked on you for months woman not since you stuck me in the PB for mentioning FOOD lol
hi everyone xxxxxxxxxxxxx can i get a clue for the ya 6/33 have tried for ages just cannot get it
hm, looks like you need another dose of PB time, Kiwi, to get you back to reasonable behaviour.
sounds like slang for an american anne but with the double letter tile in it and then pluraled
hiya Anne, neither could we. Word for an American, but spelled like it is mexican.
not fair im enjoying picking on ruru too much spritey
the plural is the 7, don't let that darn Kiwi confuse you
you are safe as long as you pick on ruru. But when you start with me, you are in trouble.
anyone know wi 6 30?
i am totally confused with this ya lol
or wi 5 18
take the drunk worthog and plural it
I wonder if a computer makes this up or if a person does
anne do you know that song Ya*k*e doodle dandy?
ohhh thank you kiwi
the grids are computer generated, warthog, and the words that are valid are dictated by the enable dictionary, an old version.
yes kiwi
the wi5.18 is a an exclamation of sorrow or lament.
ok change the spelling on the first word and add the double letter tile in there
thanks sprite... i wondered because it seemed arbitrary and antique sometimes
I think you mean the wo5.18?
thanks kiwi... i will have to ponder that
spritey put ya glasses on hun there is no wi 5
wo 5 even
that's enable for you, warthog, lol. We love to hate the Enable dictionary. But it is free and it is used for many other wordgames, so it was a logical choice.
there is a wi5, silly. Plural good stuff to drink. As you should know.
thank you kiwi xxxxxxxxxxxx i would never have got that xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
I don't use the list, how I am to know.
the enable dictionary has been a great grounding for me when playing scrabulous lolol
and another one too, other middle letter.
i got the plural good stuff to drink but there's another wi 5 18
yvw anne
ponder my earlier clue warthog lol
it actually sounds like its an australian word looking at it lol
but its actually irish
i am not as clever at this as you and sprite you are both awesome you put me to shame lol
oh gosh
don't let us fool you, Anne.
you flatter me but im not dart or knighttime or volleymomdee lol
okay thanks kiwi i will ponder
i get there in the snd but it takes me longer lol
Kiwi is always silly and sprite is not always right
do you know the meanings of most of the words?
pondering....
just cause sometimes you dont understand my accent spritey ..... lol
when I don't, I look them up, warthog. Learned a lot of totally useless words that way.
no wart but i look some up after i find them - thats why you can click on the ? on the word list
oh, is that what you call it, Kiwi :D
i'm a warhog from hell you know
and when the ? does not work, there is always infoplease.com and google.
interesting typo there
a warhog from hell, hmmmmm
ooh laughing sprite
warhogs are from hell
:D
where's the ?
ohh i see it...
next to each word you found
i didn't know what that was for!
and above the / on my keyboard
in hell we don't get to ask questions
so that is where all those answers come from
ok i am off to go make the chocolate butter icing for my cake enjoy the grid see ya all tomorrow nite
all the answers come from clicking on the ! button
bye silly Kiwi
hell is what you make of it
i need one more freakin word
it is just like life then
and i can go to bed
alittle hotter though
yay fireworks thanks to kiwi and sprite xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
woohooo wtg anne ^5
anne ya braggart, i mean congratulations!
wtg Anne!!!!
wart which word do you know?
conbragulations
now your accent is starting to slurr spritey lol
is it? Oh-oh, easy on the yoghurt, sprite...
ok now im gone byeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
even Kiwi is pulling a jilli on us
GO, woman
damn the groover left and i still don't know wi 5 18... not the beverage... all my pondering.... an exclamation of sorrow or lament
did you try changing the middle consonant into another one, warthog, as I said?
what word are you after warthog
yep i got that one
wi 5/18 is double r in the middle
i ama after wi 5 18 not the beverage or feminine persuasions
*groan*
I am off for now, need to help my son put paper around his new school books. Not sure what you call it in english.
ohhh thank you so much anne
gnite sprite
coffee time for me bye xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
good morning babblers

Hi cross!

06:42 am here:/
Almost 1 in the afternoon here. Where are you, Diz?
8:50pm here in Aus
Aha!
6:49 here in Vermont and good morning
Moirning, afternoon, evening, Eva!
late night so very groggy in word recognition
Oh dear, good luck, then! It's an oddly sluggish grid.
good cause im sluggish to match it;/
oh, so maybe it's not just my sulgish brain?
fins
fins to yu too Cross!
It is definitely not just you.
darn
Swedes
swedes?
ha ha
OK, technically that goes with finns, but what the heck...
okay - told you I was sluggish
teasing poor crossy so eary in the morning;(
Sorry, sorry!
Too much Dutch in the grid again. Confusing.
only see that if you know dutch,so its no problem for me;))
Yes, that gives you an advantage.
So who's got the ya's? Darned if I can see them.
I tried Yaqui, but of course that's a proper noun. Sigh.
tried that too, and with an aded c, to no avail.
got 1
Yup, tried that as well.
Hi all - monkey stick another consonent after the first vowel
japaneese money.....
just found a couple... ya + grown boy/s
What one? Don't bogart that Y!
ok, COOL, WILL FIND THESE!
thanks mrp!

OK, now I have those! Thanks!
it's the top y that's such a pisser
Tra****l means peaceful ...try that with Ya for 6 & 7
i try not to look at the list till ive gotten as much as i can;/

thanks lynxx :)
thanks lynx and kazz!
yw MRP
yw
Thanks! Got that top one greyed now, three to find for the bottom one.
how come nori is allowed, but not ramen? Is ramen only a trade name and not a kindof noodle?
Dunno. When it's in teh grid it won't take korma either. IT's weird about food.
im off to work ladies:(( back around 7 pm or so;(
Bye Cross!
bye Cross, be good
bye
im always good!...:)
poof
oops, the russian girl's second score is 0.00 for her second run! bizarre
So how about ys6/27?
ye6 is a plural of the 5
ya6.27 is the plural of ya5.16
0.00? like nothing?
Thanks!
nothing... she did a good vault too
hi Lickety
and the german gymnast competing now is 32 with a child! she is very good too
Hi lynxxx!
oh wow! the mum is in first place!!
So howzabout the e in the left column?
wouldn't that be an amazing story if she wins! she had to move to germany to get her child lukemia treatment
Oh man! Hope she does win.
Where'd she move from?
and she is 32 and coming first for vault! what an inspiration
Guess that makes "oh, but I have had children" excuse redundant
aaaahhh... fireworks at last
too right lynxx
Yay Saddy!
ey4.6 Monkey
congrats Saddy
Thanks, hunting...
so does anyone need clues before i go off for my nap???
she has been competing for a while, competed for 3 countries, whilst getting treatment for her child
Certainly too many to bother you with at such a time!
:)
im of then
ta ta
off*
Have a good nap!
poof
oh man! the sn7 isn't a word!
OK, back to housework and parenting (he's really tired of watching me play Babble). Have fun! Back later!
I had the sn7 all sorted, and it isn't it
and it isn't a word
I'm sorry that happened! *poof*
bye monkey and saddy

hey mrp...<yawn>
lynxxxy
ah, got it, nm
build on the sn4.8 cold stuff MRP
and I look for snot...
How are you Carlee, haven't seen you for yonks
working....lurking when here....
and u lynxxx?
looks like the 32 year old is taking silver! will keep you posted
who is taking silver in what?
all good..not working so very good!
I have hurdles on here
not working....bummer tho... I'm excited at work as we have some new wines coming in..al top end...and I am putting on 4 of them:)
ah, she is 33!! and she did get silver! fantastic.... but the korean girl got gold cause her final vault was considered more difficult, even though she didn't stick the landing, and was outside the line too. I think that sucks
Hooray!
I've decided to host a couple wine tastings in the house here...so am getting them for free...a free 120 bottles of wine:)
33 year old gymnst?
I thought gymnastics was over
yep carlee, amazing story behind her too
Wow! that sounds right up your alley Carlee - and 120 bottles should last a while!
cool... and..yes will....we have a new shiraz, a new carmenere, a new tres tinto...and am doing a brunello
gymnastics goes for another 3 days
i really haven't been following it much mr pres...
then the rhythmic starts on 20 till the end
and I guess I am off to set in the PB
Morning carlee, mrP, lynxxx. The grid seems to have a wedding theme today. Perhaps DrGod was thinking of Peaches Geldof!
whats a peaches geldof?
hi Hydra
Hi lynxxx
lol - it does sound like a wine Carlee
Yes Peaches Geldof does sound like a cocktail!
and hi hydra
Good day all. I am just checking in before a kayaking adventure.
lynxx..come set with me in the pb
how the holidays going scrabs?
Ooh, how exciting Scrab! Have fun and don't get water up your nose
hi scrabbs
Duhhh - silly me
Hi Scrabs
morning. scrabb you're all better now?
Morning Dorens
I got back from the mountains on Tuesday evening--it was glorious, magical, renewing...a great time!
hi Dorens
wonderful...am glad to hear it..u needed to recharge
oh how wonderful. just what you needed. hy hydra
hi lynxxx
hah carlee. thinking alke there
and hi hydra)..so..what a peaches geldof?
Well, Doren, my cough finally is gone, just in the last week, after 5 wks, and my sciatica is improved but noy gone and not stopping me from kayaking. But the indoor tennis season starts soon and I may have to delay my start.
yes, i'm wondering that myself. i like peaches
the sciatica needs to be listened to, but you know that. did you end up with an mri?
I am sure it would be Bob Geldofs daughter, probably getting married
No MRI and no doctor visit, because clinically I am improving. The numbness just went away a few days ago. I am still having twinges of pain in my hip and pelvis.
sounds like a good guess. we hear a lot less of bob geldof over here
So you weren't joking, Carlee? It's Sir Bob Geldof's daughter who just got married in the States to some wannabe popstar she's only known five mins. It's been all over the papers.
Silly girl, but who am I to pass judgement? I moved in with my ex hubby the day we met and got married a few weeks later. It was a disaster.
not the papers i read, but then again, now that i think of it, i haven't looked in the last couple of days. they are piling up!
10 left for me - for breakfast in the morning. Nite all, good to see you all again
I was referring to Peaches as a silly girl, not you, carlee!
it is all a publicity stunt for the boyfriend's band... the announcement by the publicist mainly talks about the band, who they are signed with and when they are playing... pathetic
no..i wasn't kidding..and NOW I know I gave up waiting and googled here...maxdrumney is the groom...she wore a cream dress and he did not take off his sunglasses
nite lynxxx sweet dreams
Nite, Lynxxxzzzzz
Sleep well, Lynxxx. And can you get Eamon Sullivan's phone number for me? He is quite the hottie!
I agree, mrp. Totally pathetic.
nitenite lynxxxy
Eamon Sullivan? I must Google him if he's that hot!
i pay no attention to pop weddings and even less if i've never heard of the participants
Swimmer for Oz--anchor man in the 200 medley relay.
hot is in the eye of the beholder
I agree dorens...
It sure is, Doren.
Ooh yes, he's pretty gorgeous!
just like George...ble
now george, that is another story entirely!!
his ears stick out like little handle bars...bleck
no one is THAT good you need ears like that to hang on with....
I love the purples and mauves of the icons!
stick out ears are cute!
and then there is scrabs :)
they certainly can be
stick out ears reminds me of prince charles...ble
yes, that's true hydra... ccarlee and i go well together
if they that good you hang on the the arse..not the ears
well, carlee. the face has to be a thing of beauty and then the ears are ok
I was looking at more pics of young Eamon, and I'll take him, at least for a few days.
i did think he looked cute on the telly last nite... but he is just a bit too young for me to view that way.
Well, I am entirely joking, of course. I don't have time for a relationship anyway. The fantasies are easier to manage.
so...did dude get his 8th swimming medal?
Yep, he sure did, Carlee.
yes
well..there u go..am all caught up
fantasies are fine... but he is four years younger than my youngest child... can't fantasize about a baby. but George... well, he's younger than I am too, but that's ok
Sean Bean and Alan Rickman are the guys I fantasise about.
but then again, i do seem to be in a real relationship these days, so am i "cheatiing" if I dream of George?
OK, I found 52 and must get ready now. Enjoy the day everyone!
happy kayaking
yu too scrabbs! enjoy the ride
Nope, you are OK, Doren, until you are engaged and committed.
You're not cheating if you 'dream' of him, Dorens. How do you know who your other half dreams about? Mine keeps going on about the Dagenham Girl Pipers!!!
haha hydra, too true! probably penelope cruz
Best not to ask!
never heard of the dagenham girl pipers, but i'm sure you're far far better
*blush* Wot, me? I'm 63!
and???? nothing wrong with age
If anyone's interested, I'm editing the memoirs of a brothel madam at the mo. Chapter 1 is on her website: www.madam-vanessa.com
BTW, she's 62!
cool. will have to look it up.....meanwhile, tiime for breakfast and then yoga class. bbl
I'm off too, with 44 left. Have a great dat!
bye all....guess am here alone

ty
good afternoon all, back for the last few
all my son's books ready for the new school year... why do I always like that job :)
Hi sprite. I'm lurking, doing my first sweep of the grid. 37 left to find.
thanks for unlurking :) *hug* How are you? Enjoying to be back home or longing back to the holiday, or both?
I didn't stay on the holiday, sprite. I came home the day after going as the weather was horrid.
brb - 'phone
darn! That sucks big time. Already had the feeling you had been gone so short, but I can get befuddled with days and weeks.
and fireworks. Have to go, Jac, sorry. *hug*
'Bye sprite. *hug*
good going sprite
gm all
sprite - waht happened to our videos?
Sprite's gone, kje.
OK - didn't pay attaention to th pause in te chog
kje - do you me4 the videos you get for fireworks on Lickety expert?
yep
The address for that is - http://tinyurl.com/4pcj4x
I don't use Expert but that's a link to the Expert videos.
brb - need
coffee
FIREWORKS!:-) I must go and eat something. Happy Babbling.
Just on for a back-rest break; so... anyone know anything about rare chili pepper varieties?
And can anyone clue the tr5/16?
Monkey, have you heard of a chilli called the Dorset Naga? Apparently it's the hottest chilli in the world
I will have to look that up! I had heard that there was a new English variety that was topping the charts.
I was just out looking at my chili plants that have been through an unbelievable series of hardships. They are now starting to produce! Looks like the chilis (a wild kind cultivated nowhere and found on the slopes of the Himalayas) will be BLACK!
Thought they'd be red. These are some extreme chilis but they also have an excellently balanced flavor. I really hope I can eke a seed crop out of them. I started with one leftover dried chili.
How can there be more ti words?! Sigh.
Oh, I see. Just type in random combinations start ing with ti. Well, that's easy!
monkey, did you get the TR 5/16 or do you still need a clue?
OK, who can clue the me5/12 that is not a me*** to an end?
Still need that clue, Bernice; gave up on it an dlooked for others!
monkey, ME 5/12 it sounds like the group for smart people but change the last vowel
and TR 5/16 is if at first you don't succeed, *** again + a shortened term for mother
Thanks, shoulda seen that!!
Whereas that one is just plain weird! Thank you!
no problem!
clues for the 7s plz
ma7 - plural mans name
Wish I had any, MM! I have 86 words but not one 7!
morning...
Hi! I hope to get those recipes to you sometime today...
no worries...anytime, mg ;)
I have 82 and 1 7
ma 7 - plural of the 6... comedian steve ma6
yeah, that seems to be the only 7 any of us have
oops, sorry, just saw the last couple posts
do we know what the other 7s start with
i wasn't correcting you, just comisserating!
OK, got to go try to persuade Walter to eat something substantial for lunch, and get back to housework that does not involve heavy lifting, moving furniture, or lots of bengding over (see kje? I'm taking your advice!).
i don't have the list, so i'm still monkeying
NP - I often jump in in the wrong time - LOL
there is also a ya 7 besides the ma 7 but i don't know what the other 7 is
sn7 more of the white stuff that falls from the sky
hmmmm - looking
sn + vowel + Mr. Coyote
joanne, more of the white stuff? i don't see it
adverb ending
great clue une
white stuff is an adj.
une said it all nice clue
:-D
ya 7 - plural of the 6 - sounds like the NYC baseball team
ah, thanks une
yw :-)
ah, thanks kje
yw
top row now gray!
I'm not getting that one...
ty kje
ya7 spanish version of NY ball team
ya 7 - start with upper Y - sounds like NYC baseball club or what we call northerners down here
Ya**** Go Home!
i need two more Cs for my top row to gray out...

do you have cy4 and 5 - blue colors?
no, i don't. thanks!
yw
woo hoo, second row gray too
showoff! LOL
yay Q
my Qs need help
you're probably missing the Q that sounds like the king's wife, but has a different vowel
yes I was, TY Q!
now we're even!
: )
the E in the far left row is making me mad
2nd COLUMN grey and top ROW...still plugging along ;)
aaahhh - you can't make an adjective out of the ti6 christmas tree sparklies
ey 4
i know, kje. i was thinking of how wrong that is, along with bacony not being a word
Bernice, it's an ey4
Bernice, it's an ey4
sounds like a period of time... but with a Y in it
thanks bzz, i'll set my monkeys on it
got it, thanks all
but bacony IS a word!!! as a matter of fact, I would love to have something bacony for breakfast... too bad I have no bacon
yes, i know. enable must be a vegan, or a religious jew.
Have you ever had a bologna burger, kje/
Oh, never mind
cccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccc ccccc yens
is that a euphamism bzzn?
need the very last tr to gray the bottom row... any clues?
Sorry. Fell asleep on the keyboard
I'm still half asleep and i though bacon was bologna
I do not like bologna
do you have the TR 5/16?
LOL bzzzzz - um, OK
no
ok, TR is if you don't succeed, *** again, plus a shortened form of mother
TY - just got it
now onto Ms - then right column will be grayed... I am working in patterns today : )
oh wait... the other right...the left
cute kje ;)
i need two more Ds. can you read my mind again and tell me what i need
OK - think hard about them and I will see what I can do

was soooo using the wrong en on that one!
el + sometimes vowel + *** la la la la la la la la (christmas refrain)
wi5/18.......wi + dbl cons and first vowel ...( sorry thats the best I can do ! )
TY karys - that was odd, although I have seen it before and should have gotten it - guess it is salmon for me instead of bacon
where do these words come from? thx kje
ty for el6 !!
they come from enable... the island of misfit words
well, I don't think any recognized dictionary should be "enabled" with such obscurity!
i really want flirt...and flirty... but they are phantoms
I have 3/7 Fs and keep wanting to use them, too, kje...but they're just not working for me! lol
er...I mean 7/11....gads, now i'm befuddled!

Hey kje, they just did some studies that show that there may be a link between many (but of course by no means all) cases of childhood autism and post lyme syndrome. I was just wondering if anyone's done any looking into the elderly regarding this. I mean, if someone over 75 presents and complains that their joints ache and they have more trouble remembering things than they used to, probably post lyme would not be the doctor's first thought. Just purely out of interest, given some lyme disease experiences in teh social work sphere I have had recently.
well, I might as well Dive in and fing some works!
I stand to clue, texan!
Oops, restless toddler calls. BRB.

Ah well Hello all :)
Kje, if I bothered you by asking that I apologise; I know it's rude to ask you to talk shop in your off time. It was just something I was wondering idly about earlier today.
just reviewing some personals sites... why do guys think it is good to pose shirtless leaning on cars, boats, motorbikes???? eewww
Oh, and I must disappoint you-- podiatrist is very strongly in the lead again. I was thinking neurology might stand a chance, since he likes my desktop wallpaper, which is a picture of my own brain. But no, foot doctor it is.

Talk about habits... I just repositioned my cursor in the word entry space to make sure I didn't type words into the chat. This despite the ongoing panoply of fireworks atthe bottom of the screen.
That should indeed help, nrk.

OMG the cat just tried to jump onto Walter's toy chest without noticing it was open! SOOO funny!
It also alerted the dog, but she's so wrecked from visiting Sprite yesterday she decided to lie back down instead of helpfully poking the cat.
She's a Great Dane, y'know. It's quite funny when she pokes the cat.
For the record, teh cat usually responds by getting a firm grip on teh dog's cheeks and washing her eyebrows.
cute
Very.
I'm getting frustrated with my last four. Will come back later for them
Thanks to all that have helped me get this far.
Hang in there! I went away for my last 5. Then with quite a bit of help I did eventually get them!

bye kate
omg, been playing for so long and didn't know about the ? next to the word!!!!
yes monkey she did
Oh well. Hey, maybe she sent me this e-mail. BRB.
didnt you ever wonder why those were there shirl?
Just lurking, pug. TY for the ya6/7!!
Why yes, she did. Will answer her shortly.
yw dear Met!
i tend to ignore all ? -- as they usually mean help and i above help LOL
you must have split for a while 'cause my friends list said you were off line
You above help, eh?
Just teasing, I hope obviously.
If not obviously then apologies.
ha! lol
OK, so far, movie bad, effects good...
how many do you have now Met?
65 now, been out picking tomatoes, cleaning, puffing, turning on iTunes so I can have music while I Babble!! Did you set your iPod up yet?
yes Love a couple of weeks ago & TY again!
It's great, isn't it?
MetFan, you garden? Do you do chili peppers?
can't believe such great sound from those tiny ear buds!
No, my landlord gardens, I just steal when they're not home. But it's OK, his wife's friend picks my fresh mint, so it's a trade-off.
Mint!
Fair enough!
I have mint. My ex-landlord's parents had cilantro in FIELDS. I was encouraged to pick it and the green onions whenever I wanted.
I have the black thumb of Death when it comes to plants and flowers, so I leave it to the experts.
Met did I tell you my Kitty died Aug 2nd?
I only ever use the mint if I brew fresh iced tea, so they're welcome to it.
Which kitty, pug?
only have /had 1 . Pumpkin aka toy kitty
I'm so sorry, Pug! I missed that!
What happened?
quite a shock only 5 just been vetted
I'm sorry, dear. What happened?
Oh no! Poor kitty! Poor you!
I think she either ate something poison or got snake bitten or something
I am SO sorry!
Sorry, dear. I'm not big on kitties, but I liked Pumpkin.
and it was a Saturday so the Vets were all closed & only emergency vet clinic is an hour away! she held on till we were 10 minutes from it:(
THAT blows!!
it was horrid to see her in such agony and all I could do was drive!
I NEVER want to see another living thing suffer like that again! PLEASE GOD!
Oh no, that's awful! I had a kitten go through that once. Poor kitty! Sounds like poisooning. Again I am so sorry!
BTW, when I got your candle, I lit one too. Did you see it?
no but I will look later dear TY
ty for the support Met & monkey:)
Just know my thoughts are with you.
Wish you had told me when it happened.
thanks dear
I was pretty traumatised , couldn't sleep for days!
was hard to talk about too much
The kitten I had rescued from a pet store of more than questionable character (did not pay for him). They took me aside after he died to discuss his emacoiated state but were fully understandingw hen they heard I had only had him a couple of weeks and was doing everything right. His slpeen had been stunted by his earlier neglect an dhe went into seizures. Didn't quite make it to the night vet.
Oh, I'm sure it was absolutely terrible for you! I wish I'd known so I could have sent you good thoughts. Not much help, but well, wat I could do.
(((((oh Monkey)))))) so sorry dear!
That sounds horrible!!
It was about 20 years ago. But it was bad. Poor kitten.
hate seeing anything suffer!!!
It was idiocy, not deliberate abuse, but that didn't help the kitten. When I asked about him they said, "He's too small for dry cat foiod and will not eat wet so, oh well!"
ME TOO!
When I pushed the issue they gave him to me. I called a vet immediately and they said give him meat-based human baby food and he DID eat it. But it was already too late.
why I couldn't finish nursing school! Had great grades but was too affected by the patients emotionally during clinical hours in the nursing hame SOOOO SAD!!!
oops nursing HOME
I understand that completely!
Hame is acceptable Scottish for the sam ething.
that's just atrocious neglect !
Oh no, that's haem.
Yes, I did call the pet store in to the Humane Society.
they should have been prosecuted!!!
There is a very good chance they were, but I was never informed about that.
tr5,16 & le6,18
unfortunately most states laws are pitifully weak on such things but it is gradually getting better
You asking for clues? Hang on!
tr5---attempt + pa's mate
This was California; they're pretty decent about it. If they get enough complaints.
le6: le+ louse egg + sometimes vowel
was just typing same thing monkey!
OK, hate to duck out in th emiddle of such an important conversation, but if I take the dog to pee now I can put on comfortable things and relax. BRB!
when nature calls one must listen!
need to pee myself BRB
State laws are pitiful for killing people, much less defenseless animals!!!
True, but she's actually still passed out from visiting Sprite yesterday. But she wil realize it is That Time! BRB.
ASPCA & Animal Legal Defense Fund & other groups have been working hard for many years to get the laws strengthened but its a slow progress...
need first ti 4,4...it is eluding me
Personally, I feel that if more time and resources were focused on shutting down disreputable breeders and pet suppliers, there would be less need to "ban" breeds.
It's not the breeds that are dangerous, it's the people training them!!
exactly Met
ti4/4 floor covering square
absolutely autumn & met!
Back! I agree. Case in point, they banned pit bulls here about 15 years ago. The ban was rescinded last week because a) there were no fewer reports if bites coming in, and b) when they looked at the stats daschunds and golden retrievers bite more people anyway.
ti 4/4...so obvious, but so elusive...thanks pugmama
My niece has a HUGE pitbull mix, and he is the sweetest mush you've ever seen!!
not to mention my "pet peecve" of all the irresponsible owner that don't spay/neuter!
(as I look over to my 120 pound rottie who is laying on her winnie the pooh blankie with her baby bears from Ikea)
awwww, autumn - so cute!!!
We spayed our 51-kilo champion-line Great Dane and had her stomach attached so she can't get bloat. I was 8 weeks pregnant when she was 8 weeks old.
not spaying/neutering the pet isn't the issue. It's the responsiblity of when nature calls..... I didn't spay my girl until she was 5. Had no problems
I miss my 100+ lb Rot mix that would cuddle with the kittens
yes but I said IRRESPOSIBLE owners that don't spay neuter
responsible ownership is an imperitive criteria that should be applied to ownership, but never is...for fish, chicks, rabbits, cats, dogs, birds, or even snakes...and that causes much of the problems we face as owners
But you DID spay. That's good. They can get pyometra if they don't gat pregnant but do remain intact.
if you look at the pics on my profile, you will see her baby bear. She has 4 of them that she carries around. She'll offer them to you if you come to the door
I had a 140lb elkhound shepherd mix that cuddled kittens too!
I spayed because of pyometria. we were just finalizing stud service with another owner for her next heat when she got sick
my puggy always greets people with his dollys too!
Oh, now that IS too bad! Poor girl, and poor you.
Glad she came out of it OK!
sorry autumn...
We were a little diappointed about having to spay her but.... she's alive and still a big puppy
We spayed our gorl because we had no intention to breed her. SINCE then we have encountered 2 good reasons why that was a good thing.
Now, if I could get her paw to heal faster, I would be much happier
What's the issue? I have worked for many vets...
that's my point breeding should be left to the real breeders & all other companion critters fixed!
yes, pug. Totally agree with that.
her paw? She scrapped with something in the back yard a week ago, ran into the back corner of the yard and cut her pad on something. Vet bandaged it up. We go back to see him tomorrow afternoon
Well, our gorl's father was Benelux champion and she has long lines on both sides to match. There would have been noproblem finding a qualified healthy match to get some good pups. But she was meant to be the Family Dog. And since trhen we have had issues with the breeder about hetr vertebra deformity and her shyness.
my pug is from excellent show lines but I still got him fixed young as I had no intent to show or breed him!
with cloning now becoming an option, deserving dogs with those traits we loved, could be cloned when the old animal dies...short circuits the breeding/spay issue--and some day will be less costly
OK, Should be soaked in biotex for cleaning. But a week is no big deal, honestly-- Saskia was out with a cut pad for six weeks once, and more recently for 8 with a broken nail that had to be stripped.
The cloning issue sounds like something out of "Pet Semetary".
but there is something ,well, Un-Godly, about the whole cloning thing
hear hear pug. Not sure about cloning.... it's just not right
but becoming more availble, and probable in the next 10 years or so
makes me creep out BIG TIME!
Hey, Shadow, you're a kook like me! Sorry, Pug, but it's just the sam eas breeding for traits but faster and more sure, onceit's perfected.
Scientists are so gung-ho on whether they can do it, they don;t think "SHOULD they?"!!!
Besides, good clonig will mean if I ever need a new heart I can have MY OWN...
AMEN MET!!!
I'm sure that artificial insemination was once thought 'not right'...but attitudes change with time
OOPS PB $ ME!!!
Sure, but that's corporate science. It sucks an dit's most of them, but it just gives a bad name to some good stuff.
It was indeed! I REMEMBER that, at least for humans!
but thats just "helping nature take its course . not the same in my mind at all...
hopefully we won't see clone warriors or the like
TABAD, PUG!!!
Neither is a canary shaped like the number 7.
thx for the advise MG. Vet wants it bandaged until tomorrow. It bled for 3 days. It's clean. I put her bootie on before we go outside.
That's why they're cloning - trying to build better warriors to win the world!!
Great! Then there's little I can do beyond assure you that foot wounds do suck because they take so long to heal.
Going back to the cloning thing - that would also mean they can clone all the vicious animals and people also.... is that a good thing?
StarWars comes to life for Earthlings
i have 2 left the ya 6 and 7 combo, any clues please? i just can not seem to find them
well, back to looking in the grid for those elusive 44. Thanks for the chat!
sadly the world as a whole would be better off without our species!
hi AK
Cloning extinct animals is also an issue--seems like a haywire island caused a movie sensation a few years ago with dinos...
hi moon et al
but they may be doing the mastadon, and perhaps a few other things soon
ya+ a good sport *ever ***ts in mid-game
then plural
You're right, Pug, and yet we evolved so we have to count as a Force of Nature. I like to think of us in terms of a slow meteor.
more like a time released plague!
Sure, the dinos thing and the pets thing... I just want my own heart if I need a transplant.
no wondeer i could not find them! i must google a definition ty ty ty
True. Same kind of effect. Don't get me wrong, I wish I wasn't here to see it and I try to change it! But nonetheless it evolved and here it is.
I think replacement organs is a great idea but creating living beings is just amoral & creepy!
the plague has continued, throughout a few bottlenecks where it's been determined that we decended from one woman in africa about 100,000 years ago...so we got lucky to survive at all...and now we get to expand ourselves with cloning
Regardless of whether we agree on that, when they perfect the techniques thay can just grow the heart; don't have to make a whole person and btrain and all.
well just googled the definition! it is rather funny considering I am one and did not even know it LOL
Which word, knitter?
there have been a couple science fiction stories regarding cloning organs, and it has moral issues as well--sort of the kind of who gets an organ, etc
& wipe out every other species along the way! except viruses& bacteria they will outlive everything!
For the record I am a science fiction writer.
COOL!
ya 6/33 monkey
Pug, I agree about the devastating effect of the human race. I was making a philosophical and pedantic point when we DO agree morally in many ways.
is it possible I have read your works MonkeyGames?
but organ cloning isn't sci fi its been being worked on a long time already
And not in some ways, but that just increases diversity, which I overwhelmingly indulge.
They can do skin.
yes monkey I know dear
Sadly no, Shadow, because I am a little "off-genre" and my novels are a shred too short, it seems. But I'm hitting up the small presses. Happy to send the polished novel along though; it's well copyrighted and I don't think of sharing it in terms of losing a sale.
I have a question.... if they clone a heart from you for you, would it not have the same problems that made you need a new heart to begin with? I mean, it's an exact dulicate of you.
Actually though the skin is more of a culture...
diversity is what makes the world go round
*duplicate*
Good point! It would depend on a) why I needed a new heart and b) how far they'd come in correcting probloems at a basic level.
I would think with all the genetic manipulation they can do they might be able to fix what caused the trouble
I'm alwas looking for new writers---I've been limited in te past decade or so because so much SF went fantasy, so would love to see what you have sometimes if you could point me to them
ar6?
We can entirely prevent the bubble-boy immunity problemnow, but we cannot cure it, for example.
ar 6 to do something more like a portrait painter
Shadow, e-mail me at kmcoo@chello.nl and I can shoot some stuff your way if you're really interested.
can't prevent the cold, but sometimes cure it...biology is a conundrum...
ar6-- done in a creative way
thx AK. I think I tried every other combination of letters
It's neuroscince-based, so's you know. Bores some people.
must walk to corner deli for smokes back in 15 or so...think I'll take my puggy with me..BRB

And NOW it's a commercial break! Maybe I should WATCH this movie someday... then again, maybe not...
I'm catching up on shows I haven't seen this week and last ...working for last 13 days straight...for 12 hours a day
What do you do?
Doing financial analysis on Defense Programs
Really? Whose defense programs?
If yoiu need grassroots input I can guess how whatever thingf would fly with voters in teh Netherlands...
U.S. Work specific areas and issues. And gosh, I started out in life wanting to teach history related stuff [first degree was Ancient Med Culture' so I could include all of the Med and various periods/cultures...eclectic background since then
This is all most interesting. And I do know what you mean! Due to this issue or that, I never settled on one thing to study in time. Thus with a deep interest in neuroscience and archaeology and primatology, I am currently 39 years old with a toddler, and most of the way through a degree in scoial-law relkated social work in a second language. It all just goes another way somewhere....
Fireworks :o)
MG--that is so often true. But just think of all the cool things you know, and how fun it is. We hold similar interests...archaeology, primatology, science fiction, Babble...way too cool a world.
Woohoo!!!!
fireworks are too cool after a braintwister
I tota;;y agree. I don't regret the things I didn't do-- a) it's my fault anyway and b) I can still learn far more about them that someone without a masters degree could haveknown 20 years ago, without great efforyt anyway.
But also I can draw. That helps a lot, just having this form of meditation that comes naturally.
hi all, and sorry i did not get a chance at yesterday's monster grid!

Pinikula, so you want to practice cluing, eh? I don't have any of the E's from the 4th column.

lots of us return to clue long after finishing!
sometimes I wish I was in a different time zone
where are you mom?
Northern KY
oh eastern time! me too NE PA
I like PA, the few times I have been there for vacation
you anywhere near Georgetown? Have a friend there...
about 1 hour away
Georgetown is south of us
not very familiar with the KY geography
we are just across the Ohio River from Cincinnati OH
oh I see
Georgetown is a straight shot for us down Interstate 75
we're long distance friends,I've never been there
it is beautiful down there
from Long Island NY originally
getting into horse country
it sounds lovely from what she tells me!
I have never been anywhere in NY except to go through Buffalo from Canada
yes she is big into the horses
it is, Pug. It is growing but still a lot of farmland down there
Maybe someday you will get to go visit
same here exactly!
how did you end up in PA from NY?
if you don't mind my asking
My mom had a vaca. retreat in the Poconos & I needed to escape abusive ex-hubby
many years ago now,1990
oh Pug, I am glad you got away from him. I hear the Poconos are very nice
I have been to Gettysburg and Hershey.
no longer live in the poconos though about an hour north its quite lovely here & much less populous
the poconos have turned into little NYC/Newark
really? such a shame
yes it is& this area is gradually going there too.We all see the writing ion the wall....
Hey, Mom, I spent the first 38 years of my life in KY.
i give it 15 years or so
I hate to hear that, Pug.
ME TOO!
Gapeach, what city?
Will you stay or look for land some where, Pug?
Owensboro....about an hour and a half from Louisville...right across the river from Evansville, IN
will take the furry kids out for a brief romp in the yard & back to clue more...see you in 10
bye bye Pug, see you soon
trying to sell my house now but will probably stay in this area
Ok, I know where you are. Lovely area
I wish you luck with selling
er, where you were. What part of GA are you in?
Oh, I moved to Augusta, GA in 1977. And have been here in ct for almost 6 yrs.

OH do tell
crawl back under the covers, Herin
nup
remember we were going to have a puppy? We just got an email that they changed plans and they are going to breed our favorite mother first! So we will get a puppy from the lady dog we preferred. I am so happy!
YAH PUPPY
the breeder has 3 lady dogs, and the one we really fell for was not going to be a mother until deep into next year, or maybe even the year after. But she came out of the tests so well that they decided to breed her first.
YEA Sprite
how wonderful, Sprite
Mom- I am done so you cn go bathe now. Thansk for hanging around
Puppies. What sort?
Dana should breed in November, so somewhere in January we may have our puppy, if all goes well :D
I love the video today
King Charles Cavalier Spaniel
Congrats, DR. **hands over bouquet of fresh flowers**
delightful, isn't it, DR... I played it 3 times, lol.
THose are beautiful dogs Sprite
cute
Thanks Mom * take flowers graciously
oh yes, we picked the breed really carefully and then also the breeder. This is going to be so much fun and happiness :D
Time to get a bath. It was so good to "see" everyone today, and meet several newbies. {{Hugs}} to all of you. Pug, thanks for all the help. I couldn't have done it without you.
Hello. Wondering if I could help with le6/24 and le6/18? Please.
Oh i love fresh puppy and kitty smell
HI Skoo
but Dana... she has this incredibly sweet face and disposition. She is a ruby. I fell in love with her right away, but we didn't want to have the kids wait for 1 or 2 years more. So we agreed with another mother... and now we get her yet!
Hi fern. I only have 8 left and am thinking I am nuts that I can't see it.
Le6- a sore or ulcer
Bye Mom
Bye mum
Oh, thank you.
YVW Skoo
le6/18 ends in a charged particle le6/24 in a night dress.
*hugs to all* Must be off to bed, it is 1.30 am here. But wanted to tell you the great news! *happy sprite hops off to bed*
NIght Sprite
Night Sprite!

Son wants to go swim- Are you in need of any clues Herin?

nm. oy!

ok.. I am going now- Good luck all
thanks!
YVW Smaller
HI Smaller
the light bulb occurs if you stare at the clue long enough
hi herin!
Just gossiping to a friend about how her son was robbed in the Football finalys
what level? kid? university? pro?
Under 14s AFL football. The butt hole umpire sent off their best and fairest player for nothing and sent off another kid for wearing glasses that were not to code even though he had papers to say he could wear them and about half a dozen marks (were they catch the ball) then meant to kick it on weren't award. The kids are gutted. Stat wise they are better than the winners
wow. sounds like the ump had an agenda
Yep. It was a semi final game. This one was deciding whether they would play in the finals. THe are so upset. I was just looking at the stats and the team they played are less than they are based on wins and kicks. I don't understand the way it works
ANd thus concludes my whine..How are you?
single out or double out? do they get another go?
Out out no more
Back from lurking, dear pug. Went to have some dinner.
HI Met
Hi, I don't know how to abbreviate your name, herinfernallady
good time for the adults to model good sportsmanship herin : ) (ducking)
Hi call me Herin
Ok, gotcha.
Oh yes indeed KJE. The parents are indeed lodging formal protests.
that's a shame
It is. I missed the match as i was home.
aha! you've returned Met!
funny herin, I never asked how what to call you, but two people have in the last two days
seems we are getting a new set of very polite babblers - LOL
QUestion what is with a PRe-nup that states you most stay the same weight.
Yes, dear. Taking some time to clear my brain and GET THOSE LAST 35 WORDS!!!!
that's hysterical, herin!
really??? who had that herin?
I simjply MUST be present for your 1st fireworks!
If it comes to that.
I have faith in you hon & you've got lots of good cluers in the house tonight!
if the prenup says that, it is a marriage that should not occur
really! what a crock!
It was mentioned on the telly today and in the paper yesterday. I was talking about it to my b.f and said. Maybe they need a policy of don't get old its just that stuppid
it shows that they are not getting the idea... I wouldn't sign that... not b/c I ever want to gain a bunch of weight, but b/c it says something about the other person that is unacceptabel
I think it devalues people.
it says they don't get the idea of what love means, and what supporting each other through thick or thin means... I see a lot of bad stuff in my line of work, and it is beautiful and amazing when the trials bring the couples close and someone doesn't bail... that is love
shit happens, would be nice to know that whoever this person is that is suppose to love you would be there when it hits the fan... as well as through the fun stuff
There was also this thing about division of bills and all this basic stuff that you should have (or is it off) discussed when you get together
OK, pug, got some more, what's me5/16?
isn't it weird though to stick that stuff in a prenup herin... that is stuff you work out together, not stuff you put in a prenup... makes you wonder if the couple can communicate at all!
My b.f and i have had this thing since day one you leave with what you started with and any thing that was dual buy is split. We are smart and yes KJE i think people need to talk to each other via lawyers.
what you stated is standard herin, that is what any court of law would do, at least here... I do not think every thing needs to go through lawyers
Then again i am a princess and a 50's wife. I look after him and he looks after me. He rocks
hi princess herin : )
I have never understood the fighting in court unless the people are doing not nice things
Got the me/5.
Yep.
you need a lawyer if one or both are complete assholes... otherwise, most can be worked out. But I will say, that even though I have stuff, stuff is not all that important to me... so probably wouldn't fight much over stuff
I have new neighbours. Need to make biscuits (cookies) for them
that is sweet herin
Second that KJE
second that you are sweet?
No the court lawyer thing
; )
hey, can anyone help with the "e" words?
The new neighbours did introduce themselves to us on Sat. We let them know that blocking us in (shared drive) was ok as we were too lazy to move
which e words?
Whatcha want, DGR?
LOL herin
hi kyle, i don't have any of them :(

ey4/6 - like a notable period in time but add a Y in there
Saturday was the day to do nothing. KITTTY. Can i have a kitty?
ah, thanks so much, lets see if i can figure some of these out now
kittens are so cute... too bad they grow up to be cats
TY for the e's I was missing!! kje & herin
My kitty is being cute
they are all cute... until they make your nose run, eyes water, and make you sneeze
Didja say MINE, pug?
Poor KJE
I'm allergic, too, but some are so friendly and cute, you can't help but love them and stroke them and call them George.
and it is like they know who is allergic... they always come to me when I am at my sisters house... no one else... but insist on sitting right across my head on the sofa
kje-got most of them, but can't figure out your clue with the la la la
YEP. That sounds cat like. THe b.f was annoyed the cat used his coat as a blankie
el + sometimes vowel + deck the halls with boughs of holly, *** la la la la la la la la
yes, they seem unusually attracted to black pants... especially if they have light hair
ty kje! awesome clue:)
although i have no idea what that word means
yw
oh look! its a ferny

nothing could ever beat the pungent aroma of the goat cheese my French ex-mother-in-law once sent us . . . in the summer
mmmm cheese
and it sat on the porch in the sun all day while we were at work
but there's always kinetic magic, kje :)
I ahve 2 A 6 and A t 6 to find
Oh, that doesn't sound so good, Une!
:-D
ugh, une!
magic does not taste as good as the real thing jilli : )
very aromatic, une, LOL
could be with a french cheese that it was suppose to smell that way
I mean you can transport yourself kinetically in real time to here and now, kje -- don't you ever read sf?
oh noooooooooooooooooo, kje
ly?
nm got it
actually, not a big SF reader jilli.... sorry -
I mean the real thing, not the fantasy crap, kje
jilli, did you read Jumper or Reflex?

or the omnivore's dilemma
LOVE that book!
which?
no, une, gave up sf years ago
actually, i've read everything Peter Mayle's written LOL
T 6 please i have a TR 6 18 what the heck am i missing please
I have a friend who has decided to never read peter mayle again
ti6 shiny stuff on Xmas tree

he thinks it sucks that peter mayle gets to live our dream life and we support him by reading about it with envy - LOL
anyone?
there was a very interesting conversation this afternoon (here) between MonkeyGames and someone else (I forget, sorry) -- MG is an SF writer but NOT fantasy -- check the log!
herin do you have the word I just clued?
oohhh, LOL!
MG writes sci-fi?
wow, did not know she was an author
Thank you my stupid net pooped out
The Bottom A 6 please
the other conversationalist was a publisher, sort of, I think -- they connected. Yay Babble!
Looking at the stats for my internet and its dropping out a lot
Please, not sci-fi. We purists prefer SF, which can be interpreted as Speculative Fiction.

Hey i like SF brought about the best religion as a joke

its looking ok up here at the moment. sunshine again. for the moment
oh, and the thunder this morning with no rain...he didn't like that either!

Montana! Harp and I are only a few miles apart!
I'm not a grit either - I raised my grits here though...I am a gypsy...CA AZ CA WA CA nc
And Harp and I had our own Babble convention!
cool!
I used to live in St Regis Montana
"neighbors" in the "big square state" sense of the word--only two hours apart!
been in NC 13 years now - LOVE it
I'm a former military brat so can barely say I was born there, LEx
??!!!! really!!! That's only 50 miles from me!
why did you live in st regism, melia?
my parents were under the dilusion that they were gypsies...none of the fun though
ex husbands family is from there, they have since moved to Troy
yeah, I use "neighbors" b/c we have same weather! hahaha
ahh, the deluded gypsy life
hmm flickr not loading for me I will have to look later
3 high schools!!!
moving is rough. moving often is torture
oy lex! wow!
makes picking a reunion a joke!
is "military" a form of "gypsy"...if not, pretty darn close!
in contrast my husband born and raised in the same house in LA
Los Angeles
GO Shawn!!
by the time I was 15 I'd either lived in or passed through 43 states and 6 countries!
wow
my uncles were in the navy I used to feel bad for my cousins they moved all over the place, they even lived in Iceland for awhile, great for them to see the world but not much fun as far as school and making friends
friends what are those???
I can relate, Mel...
I have cyberfriends
This stint here is the longest I've been anywhere (going on 14 years); still ge the urge to move occasionally (it's in my blood)...
...instead...I just rearrange the furniture!!!
I know - start to get dissatisfied with an area - move away
I live one block from the house where I grew up. Left for a total of years...
I have lived all over oregon finally settled here in the valley, I just love it here, My kids are in Bend and in Portland so I am right in the middle of them
wow Jell
NW too cold for me!! - I am a river rat!
total of 10 years, that is.
yeah same with Montana for me I like to froze to death up there
going to bed now... and watch gymnasts
Bye, lex

out of all the places I've ever been, other than the barvarian area of europe, I'll take the pacific northwest anytime! err..bavarian
bye Jellen - thanks for all the great clues
***P*O*O*F****
we never had a family home per se we moved around a bit my mom raised 5 kids on her own, so she had to move us when they raised the rent, or stuff like that. She finally got remarried when I was 16 and they bought a house so I guess you could call that our family home even though I only lived there a few years
