I don't know if you've noticed, but so many of us here on Babble are going thru some sort of trials and tribulations, either health-wise for oneself or family, work related issues, marital distress. It's like a glue that helps us support one another
*pulls lady from under the table* Come on, sweetie, have a drink, have a hug and take a deep breath. You'll be home soon.
Cant smell the socks if i got Stilton CHeese to have with my WHINE
MIL (even the BF mums) can be pushy ..
herin are you there to help her out?

Fountain of youth is the name of Paul McCartney's hair dye.

Good morning, lynxxx. I wish he'd just let it go grey.
dick clark had it for a long time
This is an awfully nice grid so far.

still flowing at 168
I've just started but it seems civilised.
Only 48 here, but then I'm at work and still getting used to these painkillers.
ooh, there's a dutch tower with a 2" greater tilt than tower of pisa
Where??
just showed pic on news - looks like it may be a church building
I'm sure the architect is very proud.
it's not as tall, tho
I'll have tofind out where. Might be able to go look at it.
di
We have a leany giant brick chimney downtown here but it's not that extreme.
I do look for it after major storms though; it looks a tad precarious.

Hi Aussie, just got here :)
Hey FM, me too !!

Is anybody here? Hello lurkers.
hi scrab
Hi Arizona Wildcat!

How is Coach Olsen doing? Getting the boys ready for a great season?
of course
I love Lute---a nice man and great coach.
hi scrabs...
Hi Carlee
***waving at Scrabs***
how are you doing?
there cannot POSSIBLY be all these words in this grid
40 W's! What? Where will we find 40 W words?
I was looking at another site. My migraine, which started yesterday AM, is worse and I feel yucky. And I am working today, my day off, from 9-5.
Hi gramma
that SUCKS...
Howdy
good morning, everyone - hi scrabs - sorry to hear about your migraine -
***hugging scrabs gently***
Chewed up and spit out 100 words so far. I'm going to the list.
Scrabbler, that's awful. Another gentle hug from this Babbler for you. Hope it recedes soon.
there...I chewed up and spat out the w's
carleekat, wow. I'm some kinda impressed!
hello everyone :-)
actually....they almost all normal words...
lots of ed's and ing's and er's
I was up during the night because of the headache. It will be gone by tomorrow. Inge2--where is your green gecko?
hi all...
Yes, I am finding words quickly so far too.
hi rth
Hi RTH
gotta run bbl
green salamander has been replaced by a fish clue....a very old fish clue. Which reminds me, it's Friday and I need to update it
hi, red
ok I gotta get a new icon for Friday. hi JBV
Coffee anyone? I am going to get my second cup.
please scrabbler and if you can give me a dose of anti sore throat fever drug in it?
Ah, yes, I will toss in some ibuprofen. No allergies, I hope?
have to stop now, found 100 words - be back later for the rest - my 100 th word was wi 9 -- anyone need a clue?
well, only PCN.
I have a race on Sunday how can I be sick?
could I have decaf with something for my poorly tummy please
Good timing Scrabbs! black please
OK, RTH, here is your coffee with Echinacea to stimulate your immune system and ibuprofen for pain/fever relief.
good morning all, I see a nice big grid for a Friday:)
Kitt, here is some ginger tea, decaf, to soothe your tummy.
Dan, here is black coffee--hot, be careful.
thank you :-)
Hi MaMaWa.
Ok, icon updated for Clue Friday.
thanks! *me watches the lovely steam*
Ok lets see did my icon go away and there shoudl be a clue one?
Scrabbler, you are the hostess with the mostest.
Found out no internet at the new house for the long (US and Canadian) weekend. Plenty to do, but will miss you all :(
hmmmm... a private plane from alaska flew to dayton ohio last night....me thinks...perhaps that might be the GOP Vp nominee
Oh Dan! Well, I will be attempting a Half marathon.
hmmmmmm carlee!!
I see your clue, red
good luck red!
Thanks inge! I should clue something more difficult!
Thanks Dan, and good luck with the house.
thank goodness not mitt romney
Dan, just enjoy yourself. We will miss you too.
Good luck, RTH. Be strong of mind & body.
nice picture, Red, I saw a beautiful one here this morning when I went out to get my newspaper at 6:00 a.m.
red, I didn't have that one yet, so the clue was good for me!
I rather liked Mitt Romney, but since I dislike McCain...welll....it doesnt matter.
aaahhhhhhh, completely overcommitted for the weekend, I might just stay at work!!!
Thanks Scrabbler, I am for sure Ill, but hoping that a bunch of rest will help!
Katie, come to New mexico with me, I have an extra bed in the hotel!!!
Glad to help inge!
mitt romney would likely lock out obama from MI
Oh that would be lovely red :-)
Ok, you shall come along!
So who will McCain pick???
Romney lives about a mile from where I work. Our secretary passed him taking his trash out the other day
For some reason Inge, that amuses me. He;s like a multimillionaire, and he takes out his own trash?
yeah, he lives in a pretty swanky neighborhood, but apparently does take out the trash
he cottages about 1 hour north..my mum remembers him as a "youth"...they all hung out together
I take it he was an annoying not nice youth?
He is a handsome man.
better not let george see that Scrabbs! He is a good looking guy.
oh dear carlee, 'cottages' has a very different meaning over here and a rude one at that!!
she says he was...there... everyone knew his dad was in US politics..but otherwise one of the "gang"
George is at least available, and much younger.
there ya go Scrabbs...
ok....their family's summer home...is about 1 hour north of me... is that better katie? ( we go "cottaging"...head to the cottage... )
t's trounced
No carlee, trust me that is worse!!
Yaaay Carelee on the T's
Sorry, summer house much better, cottaging much worse
summerhome is bad?
Oh No, we are to get aother storm, and we are not over the flooding from Fay.
( am trying to figure out how going to a rustic house on a lake with a beach... bonfires on the beach...canoeing on the little inlets..is somehow bad )
I found a 9 by myself. **wearing Atalante's Smugness Hat**
( cus doing allthat ='s cottaging )
carlee - look at wikipedia for cottaging
Carlee, I think Cottages refers to something else in the UK, not sure what but it must be something other than that!
hello all
Scrabbler....can you clue the less smug of us?
Scrabs, I found the wi9 by myself. Did you find that one or the other 9
US equivalent would be 'bath housing' probably
there a we9 too
*slaps head* I missed all those gerund ending words!
I see now, what "cottaging" refers to.
I found wi9---fading away, like a dying plant.
Oooh ing has just alerted me to the gerund!
may I have a clue for the we9, please
thinking thinking thinking...we do not have bath houses here....but seems to recall something in news during youth with the outbreak of aids in san fran....
Found both 9's by myself *dons Ata's Smugness Crown*
Hi all. 'Cottaging' means something else entirely in the UK. It's the gay equivalent of 'dogging'.
got the 9's
hi Jacula
Hi Annie and Jacula!
And hello periwinkle
"dogging"?
got both 9's now thanks
I need we9---gerund ending?
am too modest to don the smugness crown..even tho I finished the w's and t's long ago
And hi Annie & Bobby
HI, Scrabs. sorry about your migraine
yes, gerund ending to we9
Hello everyone!
It is in the crescendo phase and I fear my cranium will explode at the office today and leave a mess to clean up.
Good for you Carlee.
Oh Scrabbs, still have the migraine?
Aha, I had we6 already. TY.
yes, peri, gerund ending to the we9
And I have a cold/cough so when I cough my head hurts.
I have the we9, thanks
poor, Scrabs
mint tea helps scrabs....just..soothing...
Scrabbs, do you have any tips on how to shorten this fever/sorethroat thing? and I am sorry you feel so bad. I just have to feel mroe energetic by Sunday.
and less Hot.
found half, bbs
Scrabbs, Bobby says to tell you the Jets won
Poor scrabs! I feel bad for you...and you have to work all day taking care of others today!
I will get through it. RTH--I take Echinacea at the start of a cold/illness--it is an immune stimulant. Some forms come with Goldenseal too.
sarah palen...first term governor of alaska....
Ok, getting some today, when I can get off the couch.
Inge2 - 'dogging' is a euphemism, as is 'cottaging'. Best that you look it up on Google rather than me explain in chatlog.
Yes, it is my day off, but my kayaking buddy went to Europe with her husband so I offered to work all day. Now I wish I were off.
Scrabbs - Sorry to hear about your poor head.
news all say she flew in from alaska last night to dayton ohio
hehe, ok Jac.
never heard of her...she's McCain's running mate?
Did McCain just choose her, Carlee?
an 8 clue please
Interesting choice....
nope..not yet...that what the news saying tho...
the plane flew in late last night
RTH, Hope you feel better....and Scrabbs too...would Aleve help a migraine?
I prefer canada's use of word cottaging..then brit version... ours more wholesome :oD
yes, Carlee, it sounds more fun too...
thanks Annie, I am worried.
morning guys! They are speculating about everyone who has left their homes that they may be McCain's running mate! Romney left with an overnite bag, another guy had what looked like secret service on him....
I usually take naproxen (Aleve) at onset of migraine, but it didn't abort the headache yesterday AM. That means a 2 day episode.
Sounds like a plot to confuse, rep
Did anyone give the an 8 clue that I missed it?
yes, they do say he may pick the woman
It does indeed....raising a lot of interest to detract from the DNC.
I do not have it merk.
he8 = pl of female super helpers
s's slayed
And what woman are we referring to?
Alaska's governor
alaska's gov.
Go Carlee go! You are a word-searching animal!
Back on for a minute. Waiting for a call back from the pharmacy. Self-education has savedf me from a potentially nasty overdose: the doctor faxed a scrip through for tramadol, and when I picked it up it said to take it four times a day but in the paperwork and online I found that that is for the non-time-release ones, and Ihave the time-release ones. Called the doctor an dhe said he prescribed the non-ones, and is surprised they gave me these. He said it would have been "way too much"if I had followed the instructions on the box. Although this has never happened before, it IS why I always look stuff up before swallowing it!
hey friends - long time no see - i hope y'all are well. Hugggggggggsssssssssss
Hey there!
nance!
Hi Nance.
let me go location my daily icon - brb
And educated consumer/medical patient, MG! Yippee for you!
good job Moneky! hi Nance hows NC?
can anyone help with ni 7 and ni 8? I need a clue or two, please.
hi nance
Hi Nance--where have you been?
Would anyone like to clue the an 8 please?
Hello nance - your husband's name is in the grid...
yikes, Monkey. Good for you for finding it out ahead of time
Guten Morgen, Inge the First.
Slinks away from scrabbs as RTH is taking leftover levaquin....
It occasionally annoys doctiors but that's worth the safety margin!
ni7 and ni8 - places where you eat in hours of darkness
NO, no, RTH! Why, why, why? It is broad-spectrum!
hi Hazel
Hello Scrabbler and everyone.
I'm sick scrabbler! I have left over Levaquin. My fever didnt respond to Motrin....
thanks , Haz
You're welcome, inge.
I might actually go see the ER doc to see if I can get a script for something else...
hi haz...
Hello Haz.
Oooh, but I am not recommending people go to the ER for a sore throat or cold.
Hi Hazel
It's viral, you know that, RTH. Fever is protective immune response, not an indication of bacterial infection. You know this. I am trying to save you from the dangerous effects of antibiotics.
Hello there - I was on earlier and enjoyed the grid though didn't get it finished.
hey monkey, dan, jac, red (NC is great), carlee, scrabbler, haz - top of the morning to you - lol
Red has a race to run, therefore, a trip to the ER! Get better very soon
You know, they always tell me its viral then after I have sufferred for 6-8 dyas, they give me the antibiotics. I almost never get anything viral.
A cold takes 10-14 days to resolve. I don't want you getting C.diff enteritis from the AB treatment.
august has been a bit of a struggle for me w/this "old" (lol) spine - i've been missing y'all
I get the first 4 letters of ni7 but not the ending--I must be blind.
Poor Nance.
do any of y'all know of online work-from-home sites that you would recommend?
Scrabbler, it looks like a nursery for baby lice? Or baby louse plus an eagle's nest, minus a vowel.
thanks scrab but nance is fine - lol
what's today's icon please? - sorry to be lazy.
I am looking, Hazel.
TY, Hazel--new words for me!
scrabbs, think of a nightclu
*nightclub
dpm
ooooopsie
ok, got it now...never heard that word before
Or four letters of American hours of darkness, plus paddy field produce minus a consonant
Nance - it's icon clue day.
o merciful heavens - LOL - tgif
thanks y'all
Yikes, I have to leave in 4 minutes! I got carried away! Bye kids! Enjoy the day!
ty haz great clue
Bye Scrabbler, work well.
Thanks goodwick, glad it helped.
'Bye Scrabbs.
bye scrabbs!
OK, back to work on the newsletter (ironically enough, about opium addiction this week)! Just wanted to share my near-miss experience with someone!
2 lovely words from it lol
bye scrab - hb

hi to all the babblers xxxxxxxxxxxxx it is coffee time now bye for now xxxxxxxxxxxxx
Well done Annie. 51 to go here.
EXACTLY...ur ALWAYS finished by time I get here
Bye Anne, enjoy the coffee.
I am all over the grid today. My s/n is in the grid, and so is part of my home address.
Not always, carlee. I never announce when I've finished, people just assume things.
why don't you announce haz?
ok...99.99% of the time..by time I get here....u are either finished or very close to finishing...
I just don't. No particular reason.
can someone clue the 9's please - thanks
I tend to announce if I have been suffering and asking for clues... a way of letting cluers know I am done
wi9
we9
Kind of 'You can relax!'

many thanks kje - got em
yw
we 9 - add present progressive ending to the we 6/30
wi 9 - add present progressive ending to the wi 6/33
darn babble is taking ages to uptake my words.
Kicking won't help.
I want 'degit' (to remove gits).:-)
Would the process be a painful one?
Only for the gits!
Proper order.
gaing isn't a word... darn it!!
TY for icon clue jac
y/w, kje.
gaeomg would be okay if we were blessed with another g.
gaeing - that should be.
Update! Pharmacy called back and said they pulled the original scrip and the doctor did prescribe double what he should have! I called him and he said sorry and he will look into what went wrong and thanked me for calling him on it.
Okay, 40 left to find. Time I wasn't here for a wh5/20.
See you later, Jacula.
Bye, Jacula!
I'm off to brave ASDA, or maybe Morrisons.:-( BBL.
Bye Jacula!
double is ok if its something good;)
Oh joy, oh delight.
Double tramadol is not OK.
mornin babblers!
Hello EvaN!
ok...time to get ready fro work...with a-e to go
See you later, carlee.
bye, carlee, call scarlet
hello haz! feels like i havent seen you in AGES!
I know. I was away and am back but didn't seem to be on at the same time for a while. How are you?
ive been very busy with work...so even when im on, im not really on...heh
Ah, undercover babbling?
always...hehe
eva is lurking!
Still, at least you get to babble a bit. It would be worse if you had to keep your nose to the grindstone the whole time.
crossy of course never lurks...
im an admitted lurker...
Silent observer. It sounds less threatening.
i dunno haz...you never know when ill slide-tackle someone in the chatlog...
This is true. You're good at that.
:D
Why is it busier in work than normal?
ive been taking on more responsibility from one of the 2 teams im on -- we have had a lot of projects to work on + it seems that all of the ones i have been working on have all come to a conclusion at once...
(there is a chance i might be moving to that team permanently, so im trying to make a good impression) *halo*
Has it been enjoyable or just too stressful?
mostly enjoyable -- i like my coworkers on that team quite a lot, and im learning a lot the work itself isnt "woohoo" fun, but i feel that im good at it
The violent, loud, self-pitying, dangerouns client just wandered in with a big smaile an dgave everyone ice cream cones, and left again. Maybe it's some kind of Sign.
That's good. You get a sense of accomplishment from doing something well, don't you, even if it means more work?
yeah, i dont mind the more work aspect so much (at least not for now) -- just so long as it doesnt turn into all the OT i had to work last pay period! *whew!*
It's getting the balance right, I suppose.
hello all
Hello peri.
I have the he8, may I have clues for the other 8's please
Hi peri
howdy peri
exactly, haz. right now the balance is tough to achieve since i split my time between 2 teams -- the right hand doesnt know what the left is doing + only one of the teams really plans the stuff out ahead of time...so i could be neck depp in team 1's work, and team 2 will drop something on me that needs to be done right away... once im just on the one team, things should smooth out :)
hey, hugs & gl again to all of you
I hope you get to work with the good team, in that case.
thats where im headed, from the sound of it!
Sometimes it's nice to have a bit of time pressure, but it's not so good if it means that the quality of the work drops to compensate.
ni8 - plural place where you might eat after dark
thanks Haz
me8 - the practice of wearing the bishop's hat?
th8---past tense of to gather round as a crowd
or, you know, cutting wood at a 45 degree angle
got the th8, thanks
stuck on the me8, thought that was spelled mi8
mi8 haz? or me8? - that looks like mi8
There's that, too. Maybe the woodworking bishop does both?
ty hurshy..got it with that clue:))
mi8 - put the gerund ending on the bishop's hat/woodworking term.
not getting the me8 :(
she meant mi, peri
aha, ok, was getting confused, thanks hurshy
Sorry - blame my fingers or FM, whichever you like.
there is an AN8, may I have a clue please
remind me why we can have ce4 but not ce4ic
because enable is stuuuuuupid
ce4ic should be allowed:(
I see my name is being taken in vain again :) Afternoon all
hey, FM, it really wasn't your fault this time
hi FM!
Hey ho! I knew you'd appear, FM.
it is always her fault - don't let her start getting grandiose ideas
lol Can't believe I still haven't had a chance to start he grid :
You'll love it once you get started.
it isn't heinous fm
the grid is a overbloated pig today,better get rolling fm:)
It iwll have to wait until this evening. lol croosy
hmm seems I haven't got my typing head on either, sigh!
any good words !!!
discomboobalated is a good word;)
hahaha u shud be a comedian
an8 - looks like the condition where people refuse food - a, three letters of a direction, a vowel, wrapping up with a twitch
you win the lottery are four very good words;)
u shud bei n jaIL for tht rubbish
thanks Haz
a vowel wrapping up with a twitch?? that clue made me twitch:/
it's too early for a troll...
You're welcome, peri.
UTB already?
very creative clue there haz : )
Haz's clues are always creative
are u gonna tell me a word or not ???
So creative that crossy is twitching.....
not!

missing one of the 8's
that's one way to go...
has nDan been possessed by a troll?
now ndan dont flood the board
nDan! off the enter kay!!

It's all too much for nDan by the look of it
Quite an entrance, nDan!

oh DEAR
Hope nDan is OK!
might have fallen on the keyboard and can't get up
ndan please stop that
stop it
something wrong, he would not do that intentionally
oh the humanity!
nDan definitely wouldnt have done that on purpose....probably a computer issue
I thought nDan was a she....
i think nDan is a she...
nDan is a she
at least it was not 10,000 repeats:/
how many was it?
does she have any health problems? it could be that she has fainted or something-
i like monkey's, does anyone else like monkey's?
this grid is lovely fun
Maybe it's a new tactic?
I hope nDan is okay
she certainly woke us up!
monkey's what?
Oh the humanity - Hindenburg disaster?
drunk again?
oh, the huge manatee!
That would work in some places.
if i ever do that you can all be assured that either A: im having a stroke or B:ive gotten into the fermented grain beverages:)
arms. monkey arms are my favourite thing ever. you guys suck monkey ass.
so there was lots of mention of 8's... what about 9's?
*toddles off to get the troll spray*

now david please keep it reasonably clean
wi9 - almost the Bronte heights?
no leave the troll spray! i'll be good.

*yawn* Good morning all...

I've been trying to spend down some of my comp time before school starts again..
Are you self-employed, kje?

OK, back for the last 15 minutes before I can go pick Walter up! Newsletter done, tax guy's stuff looked up. I could leave now but then I'd have to stand around outside the daycare.

28 days, kje! Ouch!
better here MG than standing around waiting
Hi everyone. Any help for the z words?
Indentured servant?
za6 - crazies
Isn't that a movie with Sandra Bullock, kje?
za5 - african money

Yup! And anyway my back hurts. Maybe I SHOULD double the dose, haha!
well, yes, I guess it is pinik... I could make my own version several times each year
Prepping for school or something kje?
Dr. prescribed the time release capsules 4 times a day when that should have been the non-time release ones or twice a day, you see. Luckily I resad the insert an dlooked it up, so n harm done after all.

Hello BDG - it's a lovely grid.
Tramadol. They don't help as much as I'd like. Oh well.
Hiya, Haz and BDG!

Back from my walk and I still need a clue for the an 8 please.
Probably find it was cat or something.
an8 - relating to someone with an eating disorder
oooh, good clue, ty haz
You're welcome.
ty Haz
Has there been a clue for the we 9 yet?
any clues for the i or e on the far left?
how many letters are the Z words?
You're welcome, Merk.
we9 - would be descriptive of really hot weather if it had an s in front.
en6 runs your car
some of the Is relate to flattening clothes
ze4/9
z + one
Aparently it is going to be summer again tomoorow for 1 day!
ty so much
PB for you, Une!
Whoopee!
that's a German one, in une's clue!
what?
I know, so much excitement in 1 day :)
thanks, gwen :-)
anyone pls clue for li8
I've just realised that both sets of old-fashioned British politicians are in the grid today.
You gave away the o word.
eh, whatever (I woulda said that in german but my german is very limited!)
thanks
thanks
thanks
thanks !
Thanks for the AN8, haz
don't think parts of words count toward the pb! :-)
Yes they dooooooooo.
does anyone have an icon clue?
sorry, can't type today!
li8 - if you break it up, it might be descriptive of how supple Mr Jagger is.
Or, to the supple li5, add most of plural rodent
eek almost typed a word in the wrong box. Must concentrate
and he IS Mr. Supple! LOL
thankyou so much
Thanks again, haz.
Eeeech. Mick and the boys need to hang it up.
oooh, found the Jagger word. another new word but i like th esound of it 8-)
i am so not getting the Mr Jagger clue.
good morning
Mr Jagger is the world's greatest athlete!
Ronnie Wood looks like death warmed up. But his hair is miraculous.
:-D
eiei, do you have an Li 5 meaning thin and bendy?
and pls for re7,32
do i sense sarcasm in your cluing?
Stands to reason the Brits love him. He richer than the Queen.
Think of Mr (or is he Sir) Jagger's first name. Take off the k, add it to the end of the supple li5.
Sarcasm? Moi?
got it. i was going with the right first part, wrong ending. =)
*He's*
It happens. Glad you got there.
I don't know if he is beloved in general.
Not one of my top 10 for sure
Nor me, though he's bound to have his fans.
I have no problem with the Stones recording music. Mick just needs to stop strutting around like he's still 25. God bless him for being able to pull it off, but it is getting rather painful to watch, considering how old he is.
and ugly!
pls clue for re7,32
lol
He's always been ugly.
I know what you mean.
my thoughts exactly, judi
And yet he's had so many female admirers.
Musicians. Go figure.
some women don't care if the guy's ugly, he can still be rich, and that equals sexy (to some!)
Apparently none of us make that list of admirers!!! Nice to be in such intelligent company!
me, i like a man with ethics and brains 8-)
Well, yes. Rich does trump ugly in most cases.
re7/32 - re, a consonant, then the ending of what's made of frozen water and which hangs from the eaves in cold weather.
wow..some puzzle today
Who's calling Trump ugly?
yah-thanks
Well he's no GC is he?
lol haz
also re 7/32, replaced shower walls?
Who's calling for Rich?
We haven't had a good Trump hair discussion for a while now.
Must pop off to run an errand. Good excuse for more coffee. BBL.
ogodno not a hair discussion!
i need an e from the left so i can go shower, please!
Bye Judi
ei, one e runs your car. the other plural
e is what makes your vehicle move...
en6 runs your car and plural
So many t's :(
got it just as your clue popped up! yeah!
but i think you meant past tense, not plural =)
oops, yes, pt!
oh, duh, plast tense, right
too much multitasking! LOL
going to shower and take the kiddies to meet their pre school teachers. bbl for the other half of my words!
still on an Obama high from last nite!
bye, eieios
want points for foreth. it sounds GOOD
as in goeth foreth?

boo, an8 - eating disorder
clue for ci7 please?
mkg...aren't women still considered minorities?

mangle a female egg-layer on the end of the ci5 [or 6]; so last letter of the smaller word moves 2 to the left

thanks Dan
Okay - I just heard the Repub. VP pick too. Dumbfounded. I know nothing about her.
very poised in photos; was miss congeniality as miss wasilla
Hope she's not a miss-take. I can't help but think that Mitt Romney declined the offer. I really was hoping for him.
My sister in law is visiting from Fairbanks. I will ask her what she thinks.
well, this way either win is historic
FYI: Women now make up 51% of the US population. We're actually the majority by a squeeker.
i thought its been that way for a while
majority in quantity, but still considered minority in employment
Several years now. I guess that could be part of McCain's strategy.
clue for cl 4 please
boo, a different way to spell what you are asking for
think of another way to spell that first word of yours boo

Peri, staying at the Omni at Independence Mall; will arrive around noon on Wed. and stay through Friday. Would love to treat you to coffee and/or lunch?
Finally hit 100 without the list.
aw, you are very sweet. Not sure if Temple Owl can do lunch during the week tho.
I know. TO knows I'm coming in to town.
altho, I think she does not work on Fridays.
wd bzzz
woo hoo BZZ! trying for that myself, but may not make it
is she off on Fri then
it's possible, fuqua...I made it to 116 without list! ;)
If I x out or log out will my world list be saved or do I have to start from beginning when I log back in?
I'm at 118 now
managed over 200 w/o list; lots of frequent word
don't know Peri. she's out of town I think right now.
still can't figure out where hair bugs go to eat!
75 left here
ah -- got it
hair crawler + great lake is 7
251 here LOL I'm off today. Going to "do up" tomato juice this afternoon.
CJ, do you want to set a tentative date for Fri in case TO does not work on Fri. If she does, just the two of us could meet.
Marge, it will save.
I would take a bus into town to avoid parking fees
go judy go
marge - resets at midnight central time
Peri, I'm in Court on Thurs. & Fri. Not sure what time I'll be taking lunch. TO mentioned something about "First Friday". Don't know what that means.
thx Dan! LOL
I have 102 left
First Friday is when galleries in the old city area of the city are open late, I think
just found my last 8......a th8

CJ, do you know when TO will be back? I could send her an e-mail. She does not have a cell phone
Is GreyWolf around at all Peri? Haven't seen him in the chat for a while.

phantom: arithmetic
how late were you planing to hang around on Fri, CJ. Think First Fridays start at 6 pm but not sure.
or we could meet for dinner at someplace not too expensive on Thurs or Fri. eveing (depending on when my appt is with my sister)
I just realized that movieman -- I have them all in my list, but the stat board shows that I am missing one!
The answer to the question of the day - ce4/5 is not proper because it means a weapon of stone or metal found in the tumuli or barrows of the early Celtic nations.

Morning everyone.... or rather, hullo everyone!
d'day autumn
The doctor meant to prescribe tramadol non-timed-release 4x a day. Instead he prescibed the time-release 4 times a day. That would have been very bad, but luckily I read the package insert and someonline references and called him. So now I am to take them twice a day. They do take the edge off.
hello autumn!
oh sorry.......he 6 i dont know any other letters.
he + crowd uproar
OH golly -- so glad you are observant.
howdy all ! any clues for the GA5/20 please?
Good thing you checked and read the insert MG

thanks for asking pugamama! *waiting for magic clue*
not from me yet, pug...sorry
It is nice having the edge off, buit I sure will be glad when I can get it treated. First day at the new college was awful yesterday because of it. Lots of walking, bad chairs.

was one of my last 6--now one of my last 4
oh, I am sorry -- can you take a pillow to wedge between your back and the seat? sometimes that works for me
I am not a boy, monkey, I am non-gender specific. I hate having to put people in boxes, so I don't put myself in more than I must
GA5 - three letters of previous ga4/6 + the little word I typed after letters
oh! great clue bea! thanks!

YAY the Zs are finished :)
TGIF!!!!! let the Labor Day weekend begin!
hiya monkey
hi monkey
hi pinkie! hi icester!
uhm pink... I don't like to burst your bubble, but upon trying to find out more about your profile... the novel is spelled wu....
so it's palin for president is it?
You're not bursting my bubble...it also appears with the alternate spelling...
;)
hi nutty
wither
oh crap!
oops
*passing fish*
hi icy...i'd say its mccain for president, but i think he has one foot in the grave and one on the banana peel
hi nut
what made him pick Ms. Palin? Governor of Alaska? who?
ah so its basically like saying biden for pres because obama will likely be assasinated if elected?
he needed a woman...and she's pretty
very much so icy yes, but at least biden is experienced
well, you could also say its Palin for pres since McCain is on his last leg (young / old)
if McCain thinks picking her will bring him the votes of women , he's nuts!!!! (sorry to take your name in vain, nutty)
thanks pinik...i did say
( tries not to cry at her name being used in vain)
soryy!!! i mean to say, McCain is BONKERS
hard choices this year then
he's getting old monkey
watching Maury Povich.... who my baby daddy?
is that the one that if she can't buy her baby things, then she guesses she'll 'stillit'
could be!
question...why is it that a politician can afford multi-million dollar items (i.e., 7 houses) and there are homeless on the street? Does the government work for the people...not the people work for the government? (so to speak)
should John McCain give his houses to homeless people?
two left
maybe because the wife is loaded pinik?
anyone have clues for the an 6 and the an 8?
much as i love talking politics, i'd better go
Didn't say that....just wondering if a government officials pay rate is extremely out of proportion with other business personnel...
hmmmm
His wife is wealthy, from what I understand.
ahhhh
it is, but in mccain's case the millions are not from govt
maybe that's why he couldn't remember how many homes *he* has...they're all *hers*
Clue for the an 6 and 8?
dont have it yet jayde
an6 rhymes with female body part (v)
clue for le 5 please
an8 is think eating disorder (t for x)
Thanks Pink!
Thanks again! Done!
le5 = something that is true
done with whole grid, jayde?
Take care all! Have a great weekend!
Yup
clue the remaining 49 I need!!!
Been working on it all day
maybe not...
cya next time
LOL!
cya:) and good luck:)
ironically mccain actually does fall into his own def of rich ($5 mill) while obama falls into his own ($250k) and actually both are millionaires but obama doesnt quite reach mccain's definition and yet the average american is $48k/year
you need a cl4? he he
thanks for those good clues for the ANs , pinkie
LOL missbeez
you're welcome ;)
of course I don't understand anyone'
me neither icy!
hey all!
clue isn't in the grid.... missbeeze ???
hi missb
me either i should say
no but try to rhyme that word - it works
its a cl4
bah nm
hey Pinik and Icy and Monkey!
hi miss b
gotcha
sneaky little word that cl4
that speeling of cl4 has something to do with sailing
aha! ok
there's a naughty word in the gird, but it says it isn't in the dicitonary
i just figured out a couple of days ago how the list works numerically and then alphabetically - helps to know that when you are trying to figure out the sneaky words - duh!
yes tried it, only when the t one is in the grid it works?
go figure
methinks theres a difference between a naught word and an abbrev of a word
aweli n
that was weird - sorry!
aha! that must be it Icy - you have solved the mystery
care to translate miss? lol
hello all, I scrapped the trip to town halfway there. Just needed to take it easier.
hi stid
no thanks! i think we all have it figured out without any expansion
clue for ni 7 please
well wb stid!
I know I did, missb
the more I hear about Sarah Palin, the more I don't understand the choice
ni7 - place you would go to eat in the evening?
How so, Monkey?
Le 5 please?
something valid - LE5
good cloo missb!
thanks!
she's 44, has 5 kids, is a "soccer mom," has a 5 MONTH old Down syndrome child, has no Washington experience, has no Congessional experience, is a former beauty queen...
thanks stiddy!
ha ha ha monkey! keep going!
she is anti abortion , and RABID about it
she also is a high school basketball star and her husband is a snowmobiler
she will not bring in any women voters
she is a hunter
hello nut! but don't let your political views be known...
lil your confusing political views with looks again
ok...i'll just say this. i won't be voting for any women this presidential election.
under her watch, they are opening up Alaska for mining which is expected to destroy some of the last fully-functioning salmon runs...
absolutely no foreign relations experience, diplomatic experience
Could it be construed to be a ploy to have a "minority" running mate to balance Obama/Biden?
mccain's entire campaign has nothing to do with what the average american wants.
Li 8 please? (ell-eye)
*knocks pinik up behind the heat* you have to ask?
head even
they said that she has a lot of foreign policy experience and has been to Iraq several times actually monkey - she has relations also with Russia b/c of alaska and fishing
"construed?" rofl....
it's like a satire of american politics in and of itself and not that many people see the tongue in cheek

i keep a list of babblets in an excel spreadsheet
care to send it along?????
quite lengthy :-)
email?
i am putting together a web site with babble stats, etc and will post there
lol just get the enable list ;p jk
true icey
but i took enable and wrote a routine to generate lickety clue formats
looking forward to it KT
I was doing the same with the actual enable list but am lazy and play babble instead
lol
I have a hard enough time just figuring out the grid!
I have it wrote down and the list, I just havent put them together into a database lol
i like to refer to it when I get near the end and am looking for the hard to find stuff
this could be adapted to an access db easily
are you and advanced user of access kt?
oh yeah, I was working a webbased db, like I said.. it takes all day to do the grid and work so just havent gotten a round tuit
yes, been in computing for 30 years
I'll take that as a yes!
Been trying to use it, but am stuck...would you be ineterested in sharing some helpful hints in it?
(anyone is welcome)
I found a notebook of common crossword words my great-uncle compiled...a lot of them are babblets!
send an email to wmbinfo at gmail dot com and i will send the spreadsheet to you
sure pini, send an email to the same address with your question, adn I will answer as best i can
thx...appreciate it...
Knighttime: i missed the chat, whats this you have developed?
a reverse babble dictionary in excel
search for the lickety clue and get a list of words
i see, clues given/generated by who?
Ok, I am back, have dropped dog at the vet and am feeling ready to go on an achey trip.
lickety format, e.g. en5.10, he7,32, etc
How is everyone else?

Hi ice.
Goodmorning all. Whats wrong with Teulu Red?
Hi, lynxxx!

heron

Knighttime: im just interested in it, as a software/web developer myself, just wondering the format etc. thanks though
hmmm maybe i should finish grid quickly and go back to work on database *opens the list*
slinks off with my red wine and my chocolates
thx jacq
uh huh....suuuure
;)
Good luck in Mexico Red! hope its not too hot
might want to stay there longer for the other give away, jacq!!!
New Mexico! its still part of the US, should be cooler than here. If I can get rid of fever and joint aches, I will be alright...
*takes jacq's wi4 from her* no double penalties ;p
oh poops again
ROFL
hands over the chocolates too, i don't deserve them
Oooh takes chocolates handily.
No need for the wi4.

Hi, missbeeze

hey Jellen!
what would we do without the oldsters? None of us would be employed.
i adore my oldsters, they can be so funny and serious all at the same time, and they sometimes feel so frightened, not fully understanding everything
most of my patients don't really want physical therapy, they just want me to sit and listen to them
well, mine are usually not feelig good, so they sort of are more cranky than anything...and my trainer says they all hate cardiac rehab!
I'm going to ask for some clues, hopefully kickstarting my brain...
cardiac rehab is a special kind of hell LOL
Home PT is yet another kind of hell LOL
he 6/21, the first?
Jellen, take you some motrin, I have gatorade also and ben and Jerrys ice cream, which is good but not good if you know what I mean.

I like Alice Wh5 wi4 , i think that's Australian
It's the Semillon Chard, Knight.

yes, Pini, i am soooooo ashamed
lol
BRB - laundry to attend to and glass to refill.
no, Jac, but that is why you haven't found any words :)
wi4 is a popular subject in the chog

and less inflamatory than politics
My son brought a bottle of 6 year old Morgon back from Paris a couple of months ago, o my , was that exceptional

red - doesn't surprise me at all. My neighbour was telling me yesterday that the vet charge £500 for keeping their rabbit in over a weekend.
clue for the tr5/10 after the tr** (three)...plz???
Same vet (not a good vet methinks) also said no cure for the rabbit but to be put down. Not true.
The rabbit could have had a very risky operation and maybe survived.

Phew, Inge!
Scrabs, is your migraine all gone
It is almost totally gone--just a twinge left in the left half of my brain.
hi inge and scrabbs
I felt awful this AM, as though my cranium was going to explode...and it would have been a mess to clean up.
ok, glad it is better
don't know how you can work and mountain bike with a migraine, good for you
ugh I hate when anything doesnt work going into a holiday weekend
hi scrabs
manager types get so uptight
do you still hve the foster bunny, Scrabs
hi those that have arrived
hi all need to finish up before i start the serious wine drinking
Guten Abend, all ye Babbler friends
Abend Inge !!!!!
i would not be able to mountain bike without the migraine, lol
wi4 seems to be a popular thing with the grid today
hi inge
I love mountain biking into and around the park nearby. It is beautiful, with ponds, many old trees, and a great view across the valley.
sounds lovely scrabs
Nothing like that biking track in Beijing, is it?

Happy Day for Monday Ard !

well other than manager types in a panic over it being a holiday weekend, so far so good
grid is done, an hour until Im off work.. things are good
good for you.
Ardilla, your birthday is Sept 1st? Mine is Sept 8th.
Detroit's Mayor's affairs are more interesting than any soap opera on TV
Congrats on your finish, icepyro.
how about you, madi? do you get any kind of break from your crazy schedule this weekend?
i had a good day, too. did well on the 3 quizzes that i had today, had a good band class too.
sorry all - been deep in puzzle. Us here in the uk had holiday monday gone. What's the holiday there for?
and mine is september 29, same age as McCain
so mccain is exactly one month older than you inge?
Got the gouty li8 word. Just the an8 to go now.
labor day tinks
Monday is Labor Day in the USA, very important in blue color areas, like Detroit
labor day, tinks
an8 - like someone with the eating disorder but change one letter
hey jac - how're you?
I fink it is Labour Day weekend ??
I will be working on Labor Day.
an 8 is an adjective from the starving yourself syndrome
Ah = thx madi
Hi Tinks--you are in the nursing field, if I recall.
inge - given my daughter's history, I should have found that word first. :( Thankyou!
ironically despite it being a holiday for 'blue collar' workers, more white collars get it off... I know I will be here at work
FIREWORKS! :-)
yay jac!

No scrabs - I'm in computer software :-)

sorry, watching credits of sister act 2
I'm back. He's watching 'Escape from LA', whatever that is, on TV.
I love both those movies !!!!
I've just opened a bottle of Italian wi4 and it fizzed, which I wasn't expecting, and the first mouthful tastes like Andrew's Liver Salts. This does not bode well!
that's been on tonnes of times jac! I'm sure he could miss the end, he must know what happens
Oh My Jac !!
I believe its aint not mountain high enough, aint no valley low enough, aint no river wide enough, to keep me from getting to you"
No, it's to keep me from youuuuuuuuuuu.
LOL.
lol jac - watch out for the stomach tomorrow!
forgot that part. haven't heard it in a while
I did like Escape from LA more than Escape from NY, but both don't compare to spending ti4 with wi4 and SO
now i'm gonna be singing that to myself for ages
I like both Escape movies, and both Sister Act movies !!
*puts on music to rid his brain of the songs*
Life in London's at the back of my mind ..

The tinyurl link was for Diana Ross, Ain't No Mountain etc.
I prefer not to make fun of McCain, he does such a wonderful job of it himself
Have you all seen the latest brilliant 'Simon's Cat' video on youtube? It's called 'TV Dinner' and I'm sure that man's been making films about our cat! Link is: http://tinyurl.com/68c7vz

10.30am here saturday 30th august
omg! is that the time?? oh well, no work tomorrow
I think you'd be past help of any kind if you'd drunk 68.
pb torgone
and monday is the 1st day of spring so hope for warmer weather

Fleetwood Mac's 'Oh Well!' one of my fave songs, torg.

oh madi- i just saw it - well pb for me
I'm off for a minute having another go at kissing Beloved...
Im watching Best British Menu
I feel the need to cook!
they can be quite good meals sandyloo, tho some are a bit odd
i'm hungry, what're you going to dish up?
But challenging especially this new series and the menus are on their website
Atol Coulcher is on at the moment I love Indian flavours
As it's breakfast time I think I'll do coffee
you can cook in the PB. you can find fresh ingredients in the cabinets.
not got to breakfast time here yet - need a late night snack... curry could be good
I just found Beloved asleep in front of TV, so I tweaked his nipple. He awoke with a start. 'That wasn't very nice!' he said. Hmmm. I could say something here, but I won't. LOL
LOL jac :)
and tinks can join you
try the Colombian breakfast blend of coffee in the PB... very delish
*contributes half a kilo of blueberries to the PB*
rofl jac - no smoochin going on for you then :-(
Small bit of payback? ..
hey madi I can only see lots of w*** in that cupboard!
mind if i have some berries. i like them with granola
Too busy laughing to reply. Sorry!
help yourself, madi :)
oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh - fleetwood mac still playing here - anyone guess the track?
crystal vision
I got a fever ... and the only cure is MORE COWBELL!
Hypnotized?
it's a song for jac...
Riannon
no - sorry sandyloo
nope tor
Okay, got myself back in control now. Me and Beloved had a giggling fit on Thursday night and ne7/32 of us knew what we'd begun laughing at in the first place. If son had come downstairs at the time, he'd have had us both certified. We'd each take a deep breath and promise to calm down and then we'd ei6.21 make eye contact or one of us would em4 a gentle snort of laughter and off we'd go again.
oh, i'm in the grid today.
witchy woman (is that fleetwood
oh, that's always fun, jacula :D
witchywoman is one of my 'net nicks'.

Another great, too soon lost ..
Sorry folks, got a phone call, was anyone able to clue the li6/24?

how fairs the house hunting?
hm. Lez Miserable is at Wolf Trap. Maybe i should get tix and take the hubby.

It's okay Jac .. I would probably attend less frequently than I do here ..
the ENglish is so inferior to the original French concept, though.
have you got it yet monkey?`
what's the da 6/33?
what sandyloo?
i forget what i asked for
add 2 vowels to the da4 before it
thanks ice
lol monkey... hitting the wi4 ??
if nothing else, it's great music, dcs!
why yes, ice... how did u know?
ge5/16 please
i am having a cafe creme right now tho...
da6/33 hard to clue ...in 2 parts: rhymes with something you open and close and second part is something a man wears around his neck (not his wife)
g + taking the sc**** route
ty, sandy!
torg - we have very minimal attendance by some memebers in there. I am now considering making an appeal for you to be allowed in, even though you don't know any of us. LOL

the first for letters of the da6 are also a word (in case you didnt realize)
yes, monkey, working on choosing seats at the filene center for the matinee of les miz on the 6th
can i join jac? pretty please....
Oh, and the cat's still out on the tiles.
jacula? not understanding your lingo
sounds fab, dcseain! i love wolf trap
jac's been hitting the wi4 herself ;)
tinks - not until we know each other better, Sorry!

I'm understnding jac lil'minkey, prob coz i'm from the uk too...
Lilmonkey - which lingo, about what?
monkey, should i go for center orch, center rear orch, or center box?
bleaching the loo always a good thing :)
you must be a family of night owls jac
dcseain, if you have been there bfore, you know there isn't a bad seat in the house... acoustics are amazine
amazing
Thanks tinks! I thought I'd typed gibberish for a moment, but then realised I hadn't, thanks to you.
i was thinking in terms of sight lines.
acoustics are great, that is true
i just don't understand what you're saying about bleach dowen the loo
loge blocks the upper stage, iknow
ok past time for me to go... bye all *poof*
bleaching the loo gave me cl5
'Niht ice.
i saw Joan Armatrading there years ago and I could not believe how good the sound was

Nooh - no jibberish jacs, some peeps just don't always get uk terminology
i heard the NSO going R&H on the lawn, good sound there, too.
gnite icep
fine, butcher your own language
Lilmonkey - bleach down the loo needs to be there overnight (i.e.6-8 hours) to do its best. The loo is never unused for that long in our house.
1st re7 relats to the re5, or no?
lololol re: the cl5, dcs
we're sooo good at butcherin....
you need another loo, or should i say toilet, jacs
I bleached the loo this morning when I went to work ..
I tip bleach down the loo on my way out - only me to worry about...
We have two, tinks. But I keep telling 'em and 'old lady' like me needs a downstairs one, too.
Why so unforgiving ..And why so cold ...
hey again y'all. just came in for a bit before bedtime - hugggggggggggssssssssssssss
hi nance
That seems familiar, Torg, but can't think who by at present. Clue?
Who tor?
Been a long time crossing .. Bridge of Sighs ..
hi everyone. DC the 1st re7 does not relate to the re5.

Robin Trower.
do you really mean bleach or a boi degradable product
sorry to ask again, but what is the theme icon?
oops bio not boi
*Gold Star*
hey andree
We mostly still use bleach her in UK, Andree. 'Ecover' is making an inroad though.

Oh, and thanks!

ty, monkey, were it snake, it-a-bit me :)
hey guys
that reminds me , dcseain, of the time years ago when I was camping in Cape Hatteras NC, and a snake got up in the en6 of my car, and the park ranger had to get it out!
evening, lindrick :)
lindyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
oh, my, monkey
what type of snake monkey?
i forget the type, but poisonous
oh I don't mind snakes in general but not poisonous ones!
i was upset that the park ranger just flung it over the dunes and didn't kill it
:D
but park rangers are not allowed to harm/kill any living thing
oh no you can't go killing things for no reason!
copperhead, cottonmouth, and rattler are the three poisonous ones around here.
yes that was it, dc, cotton moouth
i'm baaaaaaaaaaaaaack
nancie poo!
cottonmouth also known as a water mocassin
I don't like things with legs so snakes are fine! lol

i taunted an Irish friend with a green garden snake one day, after he lept into the street at the sight of it on the garden wall
ok -i'm really going to change my icon this time
and we were sober then, not coming back from the bar, but from work.
lol nance
aaww meanie dc!
after Hurricane Isabelle , there were so many snakes around, i was scared 24/7
aaww poor monkey
I think the hurricane would have scared me more!
hey - did everyone fare well during fay the storm?
yes, lindrick, but he had to learn someho which ones are worth being scared of, and it was green, and i cousd show him the head shape.
they were in the trees and would just suddenly drop down... they were draped all over my car ... they came in my little cabin thru the a/c floor vents
I'm sooo not being helpful, having given up...
ooooooooo "head shape"
you are charming company, nonetheless, links :)
i guess dc!

Blimey - I'm same age as you! No kids - think I might have an unfulfilled life...
HAIRoget is the one in TN
I love the summers here tinks, not got to grips with the winters yet, we had a horrendous one last winter
LOL dc
I'm soooo close to London and don't take advantage. Did hang around the East End pubs and clubs when I was younger...
I'm jealous tinks! LOL
I love the victoria in Lancaster Gate!
I think I'm jealous of you! We don't have summers here anymore, just the odd day here and there...
I'
I'll swap!!
phew - was that ever a job. but i did finally get my icon done before saturday morning - lol
That could be cool Lind :D - promise your kids have moved out tho! :O
We have just had the wettest summer on record but it rains for a couple of hours then the sun comes out!
yeah 2 are married and one off at uni
I just crave sunshine...
cool nance, how ya doin anyhow?
I
I'm fed up with being hot! lol
sorry i'm on a different keyboard, not used to it!
it rained here yesterday adn today after 60-some days of mostly sun.
I want to live in Honolulu! lol
this week has been 25ºF cooler than usual, too. very odd for Aug.
with cheap aircon!!
please be a picture of a clue
BR Freakin' B
we are having a very odd august too!
:( :( :( I want some sunshine...
i saw it in your profile, nance, to4 etc
although next week promises to be all sunshine
here, the humidity is back, complements of the remnants of Faye.
got it nance ty
i turned on the AC at 71F to bring it down a degree to dehumidify the air.
oh I would hate to have such winds!
yesterday, that was.
boy; what that ever a job - i haven't played in here in so long i'm a novice once again -lol
I don't use my ac, just fans )0:
did i actually help you lind?
go nance go!
yeah i got your icon clue nance!
boy; was* that ever a job
Nance just read you're profile - Babble is such a great family type place, so good to see it helps
yay - i worked awfully hard to get the icon to appear
when i lived in Boston, MA, had no AC didn't need it. Here, moving out of my mom's i swore to myself i'd never stick to my sheets because of the weather ever again, at least not in my home.
lol dc, I have ac but it is so expensive to use!
thanks tinks - it sure helps me - after working 24 years & then to have to stop immediately was tough.
ty nance - i didn't have that one
so, now y'all are my bestestest friends - lol
of course nance
always were!
lol - i did have it on my list either - LOLOLOLOLOL
AC here is cheaper than heating was in Mass.
LOL nance
i've been away from here for ages nance, been here tronight with no hope of inishing so just chatting rubbish. No one has made me feel unwlcome. A nice place to be...
thank you so much my sweet long distance friends - it really mean so much to me.
i think all the members are the greatest friends on the net
babble buddies are sooooo coool
you can say that two times - lol
firewords. at last.
lol
and at an hr i can sleep well :)
cool dc
that saying comes from the movie "short circuit" - have y'all ever seen that movie?
yay dc - i'm very proud of you
don't think i have nance!
I've got a babble group on lastfm, but have to admit i haven't checked it out for a while. Think i'll have a lookie now...
well I have to go to bed now, will hopefully catch you all tomorrow
what is lastfm?
don't be such a stranger tinks!
sleep well lind
is that another room?
take care everyone, I'll be thinking of you all
Johnny 5 was cool nance
g'night, lindrick
take care lindrick
now i've the theme song in my head *...and smiled in her special way...*
and on that note, i'm off to bed myself
lastfm is a music site, click on any profile, there's alink
short circuit was so funny - it's probably 20 years old by now - a scientist from india creates a robot - whenever the scientist likes a saying, the says "you can say that two times" - it cracks me up, but then again, it doesn't take much - lol
night dc sweetie - sleep tight
ty {poof}
taata dcs - oops toolate
theme song sounds like scritti politti
it is scritti politti - i've got the album *blushes*
is it free tinks?
'lo, back again
hey dan
back for the last 53 words. will need clues so warning to all! how are you all doing?
Hi everyone! Is za5-20 the singular form of za6-33? Thanks
yep nance - lastfm is free
hi all, just finished, how is everyone
5 is country
i'm done mkg
doing well mkg but not really played tonight, still have 147 left to go and am just here to muck around and chat...
we;; dpme cr[w
Thanks.
question, why is my lickety chat box green and why does it say hide lickety chat?
what did i do
yeahhhhhhhhh ndan!!!!!!!!!!!!wwwwwwwwwwoooooooohhhh hhhhhhooooooooooo
what are impressions of sarah p? [not asking party lines, just person]
hello babblers
hi april,
any clues for the za 6?
hi crp
ooh - i get an access violation at lickety chat
working from z back..........need za 6 please.
sarah p is personable, pretty and dont know much about her
za 6 is pl of z4 word that goes with wild
za6 = crazies
sarah p??
got it, thanks
fireworks
she seemed to remind me of a young linda carter - pretty
wi 9?
yay wv!
ty got it.
tinks, sarah p is the US republican vice presidential candidate
wi 9 - change vowel in Bronte's hieghts
the gop vp choice - mother of 5 - from oldest son in army to baby w/ downs syndrome born april; younges/1st fem gov of alaska
yeah, to have 5 kids and do what she does, she looks pretty good
ah - wouldn't know about her then, am in wrong location...
less experience than Obama...hard core conservative, against gay rights, and womens rights
thx april
thanks wv
we 9?
don't think I'd be supporting her then...
need first wi 5 22 please.
but has taken on big oil, so a mix, like most
we9 - but s in front to describe hot sticky summer day
some people are saying she has less experience than Obama, some people are saying she has more... must read up on them both to really know
that is a mix, the only opposite of McCain who is 90% Bush ally, including his stance on big oil
i should think she has equal experience to obama, they both are new in politics
we 9 from the 4 above it. add two endings.
wi + backward [wife who harps is a ***]
thanks nDan
I always feel like I'm conservative, but not to an extreme, am really a fairly easy going person...
2nd tr 5/10, 6/18 combo?
ty got the wi 5.
will maybe check up now I'm going to work with peeps in the state, feel I should get to know what is going on there
me too tinks, and with sarah p, i got the impression today that she was a breath of fresh air to the republican party
t + prez reagan *** + indef article *
she has one term in a small state (population wise)
ah crpw, will have to check things out
the tough thing tinks is that you can't really find out much by asking people here -- there is so much emotion around it all, that everyone seems to state opinion as fact (I'm generalizing of course) and that makes it tough to know what the pros and cons of any candidate really are
Despite the 263 word count, I'm having trouble with this puzzle
n dan, i dont get that clue.
Granted I've had a couple of cocktails, but that doesn't usually slow me down, lol
nDan, is that for the last pair? I was looking for the second to last pair
ta ndan
good advise nrkii, i agree
aprilD, change last vowel
lauren, none of them are so easy.
nv, duh, thanks Ndan
se 5/14?
remember lauren, the endings are key. like -ed, -ic, -ing, etc
oh just got that clue from the past. ty. the tr clue.
inmo, the decision isn't tough at all. No more bush or bush look alikes. It is really simple.
i have not been drinking at all and i still dont know why my lickety chat box is green and why it says hide
ah, is second with the values you gave, but third 5/6; 2nd 5/6 3 + opp SW
haha
help me someone
se 5/14?
I'll google etc and read up nrkii - people do get involved, but so does news reporting so I don't usually pay much attention to news
se + mix up *** and tonic
My lickety chat box now says emergency maintenance is in progress...
got it, thanks
n dan , that se word is not in grid. e not near g.
omg, has it always been that way and i am just noticing it for the first time
mkg, you have to "mix up" the ending
that is what mine said before it went green
what i can't stand is the "i will achieve this...", which is not necc possible in politics VS "i will work hard to try & achieve..."
sa 5/20?
oh...........
nv, got it
Lickety on my email link says he's out playing poker :D guess the chat there could be out for the night
i said mix up = anagram
the first re 7/32?
my chat box is fine but I am on babble expert
still 36 left. dont know where to begin asking for help. ugh.
I'm on babble expert too
hmm? I don't know then
i dread the news for the next 2 months, at my age i think i have heard it all and it only gets worse every four years,
first re seven is re + sounds like moving fingers to cause giggles
ok - lastfm is way cool - i'm not doing well using it yet but i love being able to pick the songs - is there a trial period or is it always free?
if we are talking politics, charles krauthammer, who is usually a democrat, wrote a column on obama that was unsettling. in the wash post today. do go and read it. something to really think about.
thanks nDan! gosh, I always get that one
ne 7?
nDan, they would be so much better going with your second phraseology, politics is the same everywhere tho, I find it hard to get involve even though I know I should
ne7 this nor that
i did read that and i do listen to his commentaries, he is pretty darn straight with all the politicians
ooh ta nDan
it's so much more fun to not talk about politics... there are widely varying views and this is such a friendly spot usually :)
can anyone give me any pointers on using lastfm
wow, I am certain I had already entered that
I think I entered the one without the N though
any clues for the wi 5 20, the second one please? it is the third 5, but the second with 20 pts.
most who go into politics have skeletons & are a bit power struck; you just have to weigh the best of the worst in many cases
sorry nrkii - i seriously know nothing about politics
oh sorry i thought others were talking politics. i am torn as to whom to vote for so i am reading a lot.
yes best to stay away from politics.
don't think there's any animosity here, I jsut asked who someone was
I don't see why talking politics can't be friendly.
on to clues...............that wi 5 20 awaits me.
wi = to screw up your face, in disgust or pain
no, don't be sorry -- I was just trying to add a little levity ...
or even why heated debates are unsettling
mi 8?
never mind, got the wi words. ty ty
brb - off to retrieve some sod
but then again I am in an MPA program, policy, politics, govt are the topics of every discussion
down to 30 left.
mi 8 is doing woodwork trim & flourishes
wi 5/20 to be wi and dined...
I love heated debates... but prefer them in person... online you can lose some of the personalness that makes it okay to call each other idiots, etc.
or wi - ouch it hurts!
thanks nDan, I keep forgetting that ending
haven't got the 3rd
as long as you don't spout doctrine it can be friendly & stimulating; and impressions of people don't reflect parties if given honestly
I think spouting doctrine is part and parcel of politics.
what about about winston
ta nDan
mi 6?
now down to 141 to go :D
down to 21 left.
clit
mi 6 rhymes w/ snake movement
you are flying mkg, I am at 20 but am moving slowly
again thanks Dan
me 6?
wool/sheep type
me6 type of wool
i wouldn't say it rhymes but the clue worked well again thanks nDan
damn, I tried that over and over but well...monkeys no workey
I kept thinking of the water one
the second li 5/12?
need help with th 6 last one please.
