shady??? hello!!!
hi lore, nice to see you!
how's u MLF?? been a little while since i seen u!
hi stid!!!!
in the United States, we don't use the ho 10 in that way... it refers to a somewhat less than attractive person.
doing well, though, kiwi?
yeah doing very well just ask the girls lol
here i mean theyll tell you im doing ok lol
stid that would be the HO 6
the ho 10 is the same MLF
been "off the grid" both literally and figuratively!
plenty of ho8 may also experience ho10; but so may others
rh9
I hope by plan, shady?
i can see the 8 but not the 10 for looking which means im obviously not meant to see it just yet lol
wow... thanks for that one hugs!
well, a bigger plan, stid, Gustav took me literally off the grid
tx hugs!
those who are ho6 experience ho10

Like your wine stash
't add due to time constraints. Sorry to be so chatty, been in limbo for a week
hey, herin, the stores weren't open!!!!
it's okay! I am just glad you are OK, shady -- I think it's so unfair that you are potentially in the lineup yet again. *grumpy-worried mama look*
Well priorities are important
ty stid, but looks like we might skate by this time
Shdy how come you didn't evacuate?
you never know, herin, that got me through a week of living in my living room with the ex!
Um Shdy like the WINE on the generator :D
they only evacuate N.O. This was actually the worst storm B.R. has ever had. Unprecedented (thank god for wine)
shady -- I think you aren't a friend of mine on facebook? can you find me and add me -- stidmama babble (what else)
will do, stid, one sec....
thanks
done, stid
Shady also i give you honorary Aussie citizenship for sitting in the back yard drinking and looking at the damaged tree
*runs off to look*
well, what else were we to do? cry? lol
re7
im on there too somewhere shdy i dont think weve caught up there - Jo Walker-Moar
wow... *falls over from amazement* they never even mentioned the damage where you are!
gotcha, kiwi, ty
oh, just found a good word - or 6 24
No. You did a me. I lost a lot of stuff last year in a storm and i finished of just under a quat of gin in 2 drinks

half the tree still there, herin, not out of the woods yet!
yes, mentioned before or 6 24
bye stid
ho 10 hlp pls
They are making Lemon Delicious on telly something i can't have here
*** wising penis was spelled penus ***
LOL "not out of the woods" "half the tree still there" rofl... *gasp, choke, wheeze*
why not?
SHady time to move it before it becomes one with your lounge
me too ruru! it's how it sounds, anyway!
builds off ho6
lol, stid, didn't even catch that
Shady b.f is allergic to citrus and way to much for one little person
um...hi ruru?....
ruru, it sounds more correct
oh ... HI shady8
hello ruru
shady, a few years ago a tree clipped the edge of my parents' home. Thnkfully they had good insurance. 6 months later and more than the cost of the remodel ten years earlier.... it was impressive how much the tree damaged.
that is what I think
np, herin, it's a pecan
you could make it, lady -- and then send the extra to me? *helpful look*
but, now you have shifted the paradym... we have a Penus Ave down the road... *sniggers*
oh golly, mrp! that's just too funny!
Do you have a COndom Court to match?
insurance here has $8500 US HURRICANE deductible - not worth claiming
dialect differences
Take down the tree yourself/
maybe the wood is worth something and could offset the damage?
So you have to pay the money or the other way round?
in progress, herin (see pics from today) lol
hi ru
latest "joke" is how can you tell the next hurricane track .... just see where state farm is cancelling policies
talking of all that there is a street in wellington called Old Bullock Road - well it got a nice new sign the other day and someone made a booboo and gave it a new name Old Bolocks Road
unless it costs more than 8500, we're on our own
hi herin
at least get the adjustor to look at the damage, shady. It might be worth the deductible after all. surprising how much sometimes needs tweaking after a hit like that
love it, kiwi
ooooh, nDan. that one is only too true
that is what helpers nd a slab of beer and a bbq is for shady
hooleydooley ndan...
rofl at kiwi sign story
i agree, stid, but the ex owns the house, he won't listen to words of wisdom, only panic
hm. well, that's too bad then. men sometimes are overly emotional about things like this and don't think it through. (in my experience)
while he and flunkie work on roof, i retire to other (safer) part of house for the day, in case it all comes down
its a man thing shdy my ex wont listen to the words of my ex lawyer either so i got a new one last week whos going to make him listen lol
YOu need Nuttie Shady she is good with a chainsaw
he'd be the eternally happy grey-haired guy in the pics, you've all heard about him before!
on ya kiwi! how is this one different to the last lawyer?
I think shady needs to come vacation with us while the house is being fixed. We NEVER have hurricanes here in the Pacific NW...
go kiwi!!!!
Good Groovy.
well i fired my lawyer last week because she told me to settle on ex's terms which meant he would have the control over the house even tho he wouldnt have any financial interest which did not impress me
**heading to airport*** Oh, wait, I have a job, darn!
the new lawyer says that no family court judge in new zealand would agree to those terms
well... glad you F'ed her off! that is crap!
I just had vegan Thai chick pea patties yummy
kiwi, sounds like the old lawyer wasn't really taking your best interests. glad you got a new one
you have got to be kidding me kiwi... he thinks he can get away with that?
and considering how much im giving up in return for the ownership of the house hes coming off better which i dont care id just rather hvae the house lol
we have colleges in this town too, you know. *smile*
Hiya kiddies! thought I'd drop in and say hello!
CHIC!!! *falls over in a faint*
all I wanted in that situation was him to leave Kiwi!!! keep fighting
im giving up $45k worth of intitlement in return for $49k worth of house
'getting the smelling salts for stid'
HI CHIC
sorry entitlement lol
hiya chic
hello chic
wow chic hi hugs
*coughing and gasping* ick. no more salts. ick.
lol, stid, nice to "see" you
Hi herin, shady! have some 'sweets' then, stid. lol...

glad to hear, shdy. i actually went to see Les Misérables at an outdoor venue during the tropical storm here on Saturday. Took me couple hours to get home though, due to flooded roads.
oh ruru you are so organised
hi all!!!
ty, ruru *grabs a pillow and plops down*
hi volley hugs
hiya volley

Hi Dee
hey, peeps
dartie!!! hi dc, hugs lore and hug. How are you today Hug?
hi dee hi -- and hi dart -- and eveyone I've missed seeing so far
indeed, shdy. not least due to sitting house right. the wind was such that house left got wet, and we were dry
hi, tyger!
Van Gogh's starry Starry night still blows me away everytime I see it in NY
hi ant1 i missed whilst suffing my face
hi volley! and tyger!

jilli that is his intrepretation the icon (budding seeds not yet formed) or what every your imagination lets you see.
good call, seain!
gosh dc, bet the storm added atmoshphere to the performanc
not til you mentioned them, tyger :P

Isn't that the same as Palin and McCain Tyger
hi jili, ru and all I missed
hi there chrissie
LOL
where are you dc?
hi dee
hi lore
hi tyger
LOL, ruru
Happy babbling to you
hey, jilli
it did, chrisse, not least due to crew laying blue towels over wet spots on the stage so the actors wouldn't slip.
is this thing on??
I'm trying to bring myself to accept that I appear to have come down with another case of cellulitis :(
i see Pittsburgh's in the grid(iron)
we see you, herin :)
indeed it is, lady :)
huh?
I noticed Ephesus, tyger
or, at least a Pittsburgher
brilliant
ALL BOW TO MGHTY HERIN IN THE GRID>>>

firewords

wtg dart; dc are you in pitt?
well done Dart
WOW dart, as usual!
yeah dart
Yah Dart
aren't you in Virginia or Maryland dc?
YAY dart
Oh I is too. Thanks for that one Ru
sigh, ants coming back with the rain of late. when dry, they stay out of the house.
Northern Virginia, ruru, yes
never been there yet
we should be in that area and NC in a week or so
well, I came in because I just *had* to mention the ancient Greeks. :)
soon, i'll be a short bus ride and/or train ride from DC again, which i'm really looking forward to.
I killed a scorpion in my bathroom the other nite; that was fun....
you a Hellenist, tyger?
ewww Chic
ewwwwwwwww
sorry to hear about your celulitis tyger hope it resolves quickly
nifty, chic
:shiver: chic, you make me soooo glad I don't live there!
she is a palinist
always nice to win against the dangerous ones
lol
ru7 x 2
thx, volley. I was on antibiotics for THREE months last summer with it. I'm resolved I'm not gonna do that again!
not quite, ruru. I'm for McCain. He did an end-run around the right-wingers
maybe catching it quickly will prevent that from happening
what doesn't kill ya makes you stronger....
hope so, volley
just kidding you tyger..
suprised me with his acceptance speech, so now I am confused
okay :)
herin is in the grid
I hope he doesn't win.. but admire your conviction about him
totally loath Mc Cain
i'm with ruru on that.
to each his/her own, herin.
ruru, what did i to trigger question about my location, if i may ask?
why ru?
storms
another close election, methinks
thx, ruru. as I said earlier, I'm mostly libertarian
ah :)
I think you're right, dan
why what dee?
fair enough if you want to vote anti gay
customer in Montreal complained today about the rain they were getting; leftovers from our Saturday
herin, I got 'em in the family. it ain't about that, for me
what specifically makes you against him? I haven't decided yet; always vote for the person, not the party, and I haven't made up my mind yet
seaking for myself as a gay person, status quo beats someone trying to ammend the constitution to discriminate - against anyone.
He is not a bad guy.. but doesn't have the temperament to be president and flies off the handle
shame to decide on one issue; too bad you can't choose party lines from each side for different issues
I'm personally opposed to discrimination, but that's not all the election is about
well, later, all. I want to get at least half the words before I go to bed
i'm a long way from one issue, but that one is dear to me, among others
he also chose a very poor running mate and that makes it very difficult to even consider him as a possibility.
ciao, tyger, sleep well :)
ditto ndan
I understand completely, dc. *poof*
I'm troubled by the fact that he names as VP someone who he met once. She may be impressive or not, but she is a heartbeat away from the presidency, and he made the decision on a gut instinct. It's troubling.
tyger made an excellent point ot 1:26 :)
THIS is what SCARES me: http://tinyurl.com/2n2xxj
thirdly, I am enraged about four years of a badly run country by these conservatives that I am so ready for a new direction for this country
my house has been interesting... diehard republican hubby and equally strong democratic brother..
testify, ruru!
my roomie is very not like his family politically, dee
THe only 2 things i agree with is protecting kids from net preditors.
http://tinyurl.com/2n2xxj Sorry the tiny url broke
On the subject of Gays.. I went to my first Gay wedding last weekend...some friends of mine...it was very cool and fun
not sure you have to be buds with running mate or know them intimately... but I do think he "researched" if she met with his own agenda...
awesome Ru.
i agree, dee
not sure if knowing her intimately is safe for him ...she doesn't use birth control
all I wil say is that these 'pro-life" people have forgotten what it was like when women went to back streets for illegal abortions by coat-hanger, i.e often pro-death for the women
But again, Dee -- she's a heartbeat away from teh Presidency with a 72 year old running mate who has had cancer three times. Agenda is all that matters?
Truly?
i keep wanting shpe4
it will certainly be good to watch all the debates and the election
indeed, jilli
What frightens me is if McCain gets in he is all pro life. Yes that is fine as a person but to enforce your beliefs on others is wrong.
indeed, dee, the debates will be most interesting.
I am going to be glued to the debates
not sure I would want Biden a heartbeat from pres either... can't believe both parties could not have given us better options
I hear ya dee
Well, I hear that, too, Dee.
Biden doesn't impress me either
indeed, dee
But I think it's a question of judgment here
I still think he should have picked Hilary
though biden has lower liklyhood than palin to ascend to prez
the world is glued to this but has no vote
me too, ruru
not true dc
not to be offensive herin... I am a pro life supporter, so that isn't my prob with him...one of many issues to consider
agreed ru
good point, jill, i suppose this US election is of more interest internationally than any in decades.
What is it that you like about his positions, Dee?
true jili
dee, did you see my post at 1:30?
ruru, i figure that McCain more likely to die in office, at least of natural causes.
true..
not changing capital gains taxes; not increasing taxes to levels initially laid out by obama; pro life...
and what don't ya like?
..er dee.. there is no middle class anymore because of those policies
Just a note from an Alaskan. Palin has always had over an 80% approval rating in the state. That's the whole stae, not just Republicans.
Hey. Thats your choice Volley but as the Man that is going to run a country how do you justify enforcing that on a rape/incest victim or someone whos child is genetically deformed and will die at birth .
I understand that position jili; but have too many friends who would have been dead if there moms had aborted them; instead they were adopted; I am one of "those" folks who believe life starts at conception, so I can't support abortion
not from mooses, wolves and caribous
nobody is suggesting that abortion be mandatory
that's true pigeon, though Alaska's internal issues and nat'l issues do not alaways mesh neatly, or am i mistaken?
Nope,her approval with wildlife is only 53%. :-)
the 53 % that are still alvie
And also, Dee... do you like McCain's plans to move the economy out of this state it's in?
alive
i have a friend who gave a child for adoption, even picked the adoptive parents, though she could have aborted.
I don't hunt ruru, but I have no problem with those who do.
I doubt if Palin would be condiered so cute internationally
I think that is God's to handle and or adoption... but that is a huge issue I won't ever loose friends over... what I don't like... he is old (although his mom is in 90's); he has a very strong military background which is a bit scary; and I like his position on fuel - expanding to other areas; drilling offshore...
but your point on that count is valid, imho, dee
me too dc
I could never kill an animal
Jill from the JohnMcCain.com site: However, the reversal of Roe v. Wade represents only one step in the long path toward ending abortion.
McCain couldn't enforce his beliefs on anyone if he wanted to. Not with the Dems in the House and Senate.
I like my position on FIREWORKS!
all in all a very confusing election, as well as interesting; lots to consider
pigeon -- it's the supreme court, too
i've killed chickens and fish for food, and help clean rabbits, squirrels, and turtles.
YAY freep!!!
so true, dee.
Yaah Freeps.
congrats, freep!!!
we need a balance supreme court.. and I don't trust mccain to pick a justice either
oh, that's something else I like pigeon... I like when pres is opp of congress...
and Dee -- seriously, do you like how McCain's plans on the economy?
balanced
yes, ruru, so many, for many years, have lost sight of the need for balance and neutrality in the court.
my typing sucks again
I am Adopted. I have had a friend that had to terminate a pregnancy as her child was going to die at birth.
(i must say i love that we have civil conversation about this) :)
I haven't read enough yet just... I am just starting to read the facts (not commentators' notes) on both candidates re economy... I would personally be more affected by Obama's taxation and capital gains positions, so I am talking from my own personal situation... which mean I really need to think about all of this
sp7 x 2
civil conversation is the key or we'll truly fracture as a country. that benefits no one!
absolutely, dc
there are times, i think, lady, that abortion is a better option, though having a few friends that went through it, not one to be taken lightly. I know few do take it lightly, but stilly.
I think Palin is a bit too scary
ditto dc... shows intelligence
Yes I am for Pro life as a personal opinion but one that should not be made as a decision for the masses.
still.
That's really about the only thing a President can do that makes a difference long term, picking the Supreme Court Justices.
well said, freep
sorry, another republican here, but in the "small government" sense. I am pro-choice, pro gay marriage (or at the very least partners' rights), not religious. But I was raised in a family that believes in working for what you have, not giving it all to the government and letting them decide for you. I don't much like McCain, but I also don't want a democrat in office to discourage, through higher taxation, people from earning more. I personally am not wealthy, nor have I ever used welfare, not even FEMA now while I'm in a devastated area. I believe in personal responsibility, and I think a republican government is more geared towards that. Am I off base?
YOur Supreme Court Justices are picked by the GOv?
If they really want to be fair about abortion, they should put it to a national vote.
my brother's church and congregation prefer Obama's social positions (healthcare particularly) but I don't think he will accomplish any of those goals
One problem so far for me, Dee, is that McCain doesn't seem to have a defined economic plan. I have bigger issues when it comes to the fact that personal liberties will be further infringed
Ruru, why scary?
shdy, you describe a traditional Repbulican. To my reckoning, the nat'l party does not represent that any more, except in a few regions, like the NE
agreed shdy what my hubby believes
that is, NY/New England
hmm... so Obama with a Democratic congress (for two years, anyway) won't accomplish his goals but McCain would?
that scares me too freep
shdy -- I agree with DC. Part of the problem is that neither party actually stands exactly for what they traditionally have stood for
but Clinton is the pres who signed the first legislation to end some of our civil liberties
true, seain, especially here in the south with the religious right (who i avoid like the plague)
growing up in VA, i learned young that Repulican=Dixiecrat, and that scares me on many levels.
McCain isn't the one who wants to change healthcare... so that was just an observation on my part
indeed, shdy, and i feel there are so few like you left here in the Southern region.
ya.
it's not like either one will turn everything around in a year.
Once again Ruru, why is Palin scary? Call a few Alaskans.
Wow i am learning tonight
I personally would love a different healthcare system, but I don't want to pay for it HAHA
scary.. because she is an extremist christian -right type person who is not concerned about the environment, our rights as US citizens, and roe vs Wade... not to mention censorship and her flip flopping on positions
scary.. because she is an extremist christian -right type person who is not concerned about the environment, our rights as US citizens, and roe vs Wade... not to mention censorship and her flip flopping on positions
i just also don't want big government
alaskans have been posting in droves all over the web, pigeon, oft with references. interesting reading, if simply making me even lesse likely to vote for her ticket.
pigeonman -- there are many alaskans who don't like Palin
ditto shdy
**as if that's avoidable**
We have public health here its not that great. Its great for cost but shite on wait
herin - prez nominates but congress has to confirm person; and that is often long & not successful
ru from what I read the censorship discussion was reported incorrectly
i think many agree w/u on that healthcare comment, dee.
which I don't want herin... the wait
THanks Dan
I don't see much in Obama's white papers that show a bigger gov't than McCain (where he has positions, anyway)
my friends in Canad have few complaints, and Brits i know like their hybrid public-private system.
not so sure about that dee..she more or less threatened that librarian
THats the way it goes Volley. i have been very very lucky with my teeth
my hubby also sells health insurance and we have agreed to not discuss it; makes me livid what we pay
Yes and no, Dee. It was reported fine... it was rumored wrong :-)
well, how many liberties did the dem congress wash away with the patriot act? both sides have problems
shows a complete lack of understanding of the rights of this country
Of course there are Freep. That's the beauty of it. HOWEVER. I repeat, she has consistently had over an 80% approval rating here. And, I'd be willing to bet our state is in better shape environmentally than pretty much any other one.
asked librarian and backed off when told "no" is what I read
nDan, i work for Customs, part of Homeland Security. I like my job, and enjoy, yet have mixed feelings.
that is what I think too ndan
PIGeon you are in alska i was wondering which babbler it was
what is the population (human) of Alaska?
but pigeon, it's not so hard to be in good shape environmentally when your population density is so tiny?
~670k, jill
brit system fails many elderly needing things like joint replacements & not great for alz. & senility
there are ~525k in Washington, DC
not for long pigeon if she pushes through the agenda of drilling for oil in the national parks
I keep seeing obama flip flop since he first started seriously campaigning, and I think he is inexperienced (in that respect, Hillary would have been better)
GWB had the highest approval rating, too, at one point early on, pigeonman. But I think it's moot. Karl Rove ridiculed Gov. Kaine of Virginia as a possible VP choice because of his experience as Governor and Mayor of Richmond.
right on freep
Still, we are a HUGE, HUGE oil and mining state. They could really screw the pooch if allowed to run wild. They haven'r. At least not here.
i like palin and she has more security clearance than obama because of the fact we live in alaska and russia is nest door. so she is better informed than most people think
since I have RA, I hate the idea of waiting for joint replacements...
ick, dee, can't stand hillary in any way, shape or form!
Mark Warner, another former VA Gov, was in the running for VP too, this year.
Yes, DC. Near the beltway, I guess.
My point, though, was Karl Rove's point of view. Had nothing to do with approval ratings.
agreed shdy, but had/has more experience
i, unlike most left-leaning folk, am not opposed to more drilling, whether in ANWR or off shore.
the matter of waiting for surgery etc here is highly exaggerated
I got informed by my b.f to remain silent on the politics issue
hi
and I agree with cinda about the security clearance; Palin was truly a pleasant surprise in her acceptance speech, so anxious to watch debates
is it jili?
hi, saphyre
right, pigeon, i get you there, but you have to clarify that, since a mere good air rating for a city is easy to get in Alaska! (more power to you, enjoy it!)
sometimes, lady, that's the best way to maintain peace - agree to disagree.
like me and tom on religion
Simple truth is, the rest of the country doesn't know her at all. Don't believe most of what you hear about her on the internet. I don't know anything about the other candidates except what I hear on the news. I DO know about Palin, and I'm telling you, you have nothing to worry about.
no question there are waits, but not as long all the time as portrayed. Urgency will move people forward
good to hear pig
I don't believe that for a minute pigeon
With due respect, Pigeonman, the whole reason we have elections is that we all worry about different things!
I am having a good laugh at the Myspace Pages popping up
i wasn't even talking about Palin, pigeon, just the rhetoric. My only problem with what I know of her is her pro-life stance.
Shdy. Bulldookey. During the winter Fairbanks consistently has one of the worst air ratings in the country. At 40 below we get ice fog and that keeps all the pollution at street level. Really nasty.
in my entire life, though, I don't think I have ever seen such a prejudicial press. I dearly miss Tim Russert.
mo7
yes, the press certainly is not as seemingly neutralish as it appeared 20 or 30 years ago
It is hard to find clearheaded discussions in depth in the press, that is true
he was one of the few who presented facts, so we could make intelligent decisions
I wasn't even going to vote. I hate always having to vote for the lesser of two evils. I'm voting now though.
well, good, ( i wish you could see me smiling) even in alaska it's not always perfect!!!! All in good humor pigeon
:-)
when was the press ever neutral?
now they are editorialists as opposed to reporters... makes me sad
you gotta vote!
never etirely, saphyre.
hi there saph
but now it's not even elegant, saphyre
I was on a fishing boat in Prince William Sound when they announced the news that Palin was on the ticket. Our captain got 7 calls in an hour.
i remember one year when i lived in DC that we voted every 6 weeks due to special elections and regular elections for various offices.
scary to think of a Palin-Putin confrontation
i could never live there, if it's below 80, i'm cold, I take hurricanes over cold by choice!
sticking nose in grid, or I will be here for days; ty all for your thoughts; I really needed to hear all of this
wonderful chat very interesting to hear what you all think about your elections and amazing no wars yet!!! well done Babblers
Hey Pige you even part of USA or just a bit of land attached? (Just kidding)
hi loredana
entertaining a palin-putin meeting too, methinks, jill
agree on tim dee; press today is too much like the globe or enquirer; calling lou grant
HI SAPH
uh-oh, herin, trying to get it going?
YAY to intelligent babblers; agreed lore!!
lore, if we can't discuss civilly, all is lost for our society, IMHO. I'm glad that we can yet do so
ditto ndan
hi herin
That's ok Herin. Most of my relatives in the lower 48 think the same thing.
HEY ALL! Exciting Canadian news! We're having an election too! (yawn)
dissolving parliament sounds rocking fun!
morning all
only happens in Babbleland though dc s
yes, on the 14th of october or therebouts, if i recall, jill?
oh, wow, they have elections there? jk
If McCain is elected I am staying with a Canadian flag
hi sprite! Comment ca va?
hi sprite
hi sprite
lol
well we has an election in western australian last weekend and we still dont know who won!!!! lol
note quite, but seemingly mostly, lore. i know of a few political blogs where such happens, but greater public discourse, not so much. :/
hi sprite.. el cream of the cropo
morning, sprite *hug*
why lore?
Hi SPRITTTIE
I guess so, dc -- nobody wants it except the PM
why not lore, close margins?
shoot me and dump me. Went to the doctor's this morning, who is sitting in the waiting room? The father of that friend of Caya's that got her hand caught in the cardoor.
sounds like the last us pres election lore?
alas, PM gets to call them, no?
ohhhhhhhhhh
just what I needed on top of the rest
Oh Sprite
got through the meeting alright, though, i hope sprite
how did daughter's bloodwork come out sprite?
he was polite, btw, nothing exciting happened, it just was like a hit on the head.
no confrontation, i hope, sprite
yes to dc s elected gov chose a snap election it backfired now its too close to call a lot of time effort and a lot of money down the drain
Yeah. They are going to take their ball and go home.
THey should name Bristol's kid "Chad"
we had one like that a few cycles back for governor here, 2.5 months to figure out the .... 500ish vote margin.
he actually asked about Caya, since she has been sick home since Monday. And I refrained from all sarcasm.
PM asks the Gov-General to disolve Parliament and he/she says yes (she just now, a lovely lady originally from Haiti)
wtg sprite
Hello Sprite
oh, riight, forgot the balance of power, jill.
Gonna run. Good luck to everyone. Don't get too excited about the election. They're not worth it. Take care of our own neighborhoods and the rest will work out. You have to believe that or it will drive you nuts. Nite all.
at least your govenors don't blow there election funds on prostitutes
well done Sprite so proud of you Princess
byebye Pigeon did you get your usual Fireworks
sprite, sounds promising for moving forward. years ago, i was about 7, i accidentaly close a car door on my great-grandmother's hand. Happily, just a flesh wound.
nite, pigeon
knock wood, not yet, lore. :)
and now I cannot stop crying and I am scared to death for the assessment of my disability benefit tomorrow. If there were only a way to skip time until Friday, I would do it.
Hi Sprite
seems like almost all past presidents have imbibed in that to some extent ruru, and most politicians around globe
also can happen, dc, if there's a lost vote of confidence in the sitting gov't
Ru what about THad?
nite pige ty for your input
nite pige ty for your input
bye. pigeon, g'night.
i hope caya is doing well?
nite pige ty for your input me 7 btw
and good night from here as well.
hi dc, it wasn't the actual accident that was the problem, it was the insane accusations that came from their side afterwards.
nightynight justa
yes, jill, that part is a constant in all paliamentary systems i know, i'd just plumb forgotten about the head of state in Canada :">
night freep
g'night, freep
oh, one of those, spite; sigh
people be the same, where ever
night freep
yeah, it was very ugly, dc. They were very mad because my husband had spoken to their girl with a loud voice to open the cardoor. He should have been sweet and gentle with her. Who cares Caya's hand was caught in the cardoor... not them.
NIght Freep

Sprite loves you
oy gevalt! it's reasonable for anyone, esp a parent, to be a bit excited/worried/panicked under that circumstance. sheesh.
head desk
alright there, lady?
yes, so we went to talk it out a few days later, talked to the mum, or tried to, and then got a whole bunch of shit. From that we would terrify our kids to being asocial people. Namecalling from her side too.
*** Passes on sick Bill CLinton joke***
thanks lady :)
I am unclear on what happend sprite
I have rh 9 was other 9 called?
volley pe9/66
pe9 - deals with moon distance
ty lore!!
well, sprite, fwiw, i'm sure all was reasonable under circumstances, and they are of the 'my little darling would never do anything wrong* type.
ty ndan
yes, we didn't join in in the namecalling or badtalk. Brb, my little girl is awake.
Nup DC have to move soon and go to gym
ah, what fun, lady.

oh man... was sure runk was a word
jill, in Oregon in July, the water was too chilly fo swimming, at least too cold w/out a wet suit. Does the water ever get warm that far North?
close mrp
shrunk, trunk....hm... krunk...
came back to ask if anybody else had found the 10 :)
aside from those who finished, of course
add to end
i got it tyger
i did almost at start
can anyone guide me to the su 8?
pretty cool, huh?
yes tyger... ho
not there yet, volley. this is going very slowly for me
dc, at a beach near me, when it's warm the tide comes in over the heated "sand" and can be 72F and quite pleasant
a-1, topmost dee

WOnderful a new site to play with
hiya tyger :) doing ok thanks and you?
got it ty ty got all the 8's
ah, okay. so there is variation in the NW region. Much north of NJ heer in the East, and it's most never warm. In ME, it's frigid all year, if less so in the Summer.
I'd better not complain too much, but seem to be getting cellulitis again :sigh:
yay volley
go, volley!
very good, volley!
lore, I did ask about your icon, didn't notice an answer. It doesn't look like a Van Gogh self-portrait
lol...it will take me forever for the remaining 99...
well, I just had to brag a bit about the 10 :D nytol
hey, i miraculously snaffooied the 10! does anyone want a clue?
snap, tyger
I won't get this one done -- sleepified now and busy tomorrowonly found 25 words and still 6 BT
I just found two new websites : savingmumaustralia and thriftymommy
I think a form of the ee has been in the last 4 grids
time to make dinner me thinks... atlantic salmon, mash and greens. bbl
ciao, mrp
yum, mrp!
funny some one in E Aus eating a fush from E NA. Amazing world of the future we live in, we do.
i did respond jilli it is van goghs impression of himself.
don't run too far dcs! hope you hang around for a while
we'll see, it's an hr ahead of grid time here.
huh! One I'd never seen, lore! Thanks for showing it.
oh man! well, make sure you come back soon and visit us here at flip time!... but should be back soon!
I think kinless should be a word
cool, mrp :) njoy dinner, sounds yums
has sprite noticed the Ks yet?
definitely dee
indeed, dee
i don't think she had time, esp with what she came inte the chat to :)
Mr PRes Tassie Salmon is the best
yoink and yoinks are so words. silly Enable
enable didn't like shaggy
herin i bet the tasie salmon originally came from british columbia.
well, he was high all the time ;)
you bet, MGuy!
we had some loverly salmon while in Oregon. Salmon from there is quite different from salmon here in the East.
it was neat watching the boats on the Columbia fishing, too, while we were in Astoria.
too bad most are farmed anymore
and I like Atlantic salmon, poacjed with an egg sauce (white sauce with chopped hard-boiled egg in it)
oh! must pay my ticket in WA or VA will suspend my lincese. now to find it... in the AM after sleeping
i was an adult before i know atlantic salmon in a form other than lox
ok, am back for a bit
ticket? for fishing?
No Idea Mayne um i think Britain lets me go look
for speeding on WA Rt 4 on my way from the 101 to I-5 :)
wb, sprite
welcome back sprite we have chosen the same great impressionist and i have a lot i had to chose from lol
tsk tsk dc :)
no coincidence there, lobo :) *hug*
well there goes my idea that dc s was perfect!!! lol no dc s you still are lol
officer charged me/w 65+ instead of 69, since i was from other coast. *shrug* either way, MUCH cheaper than the same ticket here in VA
I don't know if my pic is Impressionism but i liked it
55 was posted speed.
lovely picture, lady
doesn't look impressionistic to me, lady, but she is beautiful.
Well i was going to put Starry Night up but I didn;t want to be sad
I love yours, jilli :) And I made work of my icon story today, did you see?
*hugs lady*
just finished reading it, sprite -- very interesting and very true

goodnight nDan thanks for all your help see you next time take care

***swills coffee, attempts thinking***
whats that funny sound???

pharse usually is play euchre according to ho 5/16; then plural it
I think I have the words, Dee, just don't get the reference, lol
ty, volley
i learned euchre from my cousins, no clue how it compares to the book :)
yqw
Ahhhh. ***happy DENSA sigh*** Thanks sprite
it's brand of cards and card game books here, sprite
ask me tomorrow sprite... wrote a famous book on how to bid when playing euchre
euchre is yet another whist descendant, much less complex than bridge
ok, thanks :) Now all I need to find out is what euchre is.
go to pogo.com sometime and play for free against computer.... easiest way to learn to play
it's popular in the Great Lakes region of North America
and in Australia and NZ for some reason
thancs all :)
oh, i'd no clue, dee, good to know
its popular in new zealand most people i knew anyway played it another popular one was 500 which we used to play all weekend
funny thing, me meeting that girl's father in the waiting room... and now I see her name is almost in the grid. She is called Mylene.
i see sprite's boycotting the K, no Schuylkill for her! LOL
isn't 500 a type of rummy
oops, i meant Schuylkll
you got it, dc! I decided it is very cruel to offer me a 11-K grid on a day lique this.
one of the few card games I can play - and my Ho***s Book of Rules is very tattered. Hello everyone
it is, dee, similar to, yet distinct from gin
hi, lynxxx!
hi lynnn
sounds like fun
well, that is weird. I meant lyn, or lynxxx
hi lynxxx
G'd morning Lynx
Sprite you need to dwell you meet him for a reason thank about it, Please it will becoome clear why and you will be surpised at the growth you have made by the way you handled the situation. Hugs Princess
hi lynxxx
sweet lobo! Actually, I feel like I handled it well, so did he, but it robbed me of my last bit of energy. And I didn't have any to spare. Not wanting to whine or complain, but I feel this very very tight thread inside my head and it is about to go PLINKKKK!
omg! at work today - er yesterday, between all of us on 4 helpdesks, we created at least 3300 tickets during the 12h i was at work.
Hi Lynxxx and Stewart
ooops for the typos was coming out to quick to type it lol
woot dc, that was pretty busy
Yea for DC
i was just shocked at how many! and we're only half the helpdesks at US Customs.
wow dc s you should get paid a percentage of the ticket!!
what caused the deluge of work?
my hourly rate is most satisfactory :) dee, who knows. i know just the email queue i monitor had 100 items pass through it in that time.
***the grid i is cancelled due to lack of interest***
not counting phone calls to my group, and our other email queue, and our ticket queue
amazing
I have one stupid yi 4... others?
must keep the products flowing. i've been reading up on sea and rail trade, as we're adding those to our current truck/car trade round new year
my brother took train from Pittsburgh to Elkhart IN last Thanksgiving & enjoyed it so much; he's going to do that again
I only have 1 yi as well, soory, no help here. ***lurks***
ty lori
yl is the other yl4
volley the other it yl4/7
Apparently nobody watches Scooby Doo, because I was shocked when "yoinks" wasn't accepted. Thanks DC!
these words are killing me... yl never would have thot of that one
ty
Later
i mentioned that earlier
ciao, lady
that yl also is part of an xy, fyi
if i recall correctly, that is
I'm with Volley. Thanks again DC.
hm very interesting
a friend is getting her father's ur4 engraved tomorrow, er today.
I have un 6, 8, 4... other one?
last is ur 4
ur4, us4
duh ty
finally greyed that K; those wer not easy
yay dc s
agreed; well have to resort to list with 34 left... at a halt
The k was irritating me, so I'm ignoring it. :)
hopefully they will go away hey LoriP
i ignored, then decided to vanquish. you, too, shall prevail
lol
That's my hope lore! DC's approach seems better, but I'm a slacker.....
maybe if you wait long enough the elves will finish LOL
but the elves are busy baking cookies with chocolate
I have ne 4, 5 and nu 4.. others?
***If I sit very quietly, the eleves may appear***
2more ne4s
ssshhhhhhh
ty dc
**elves, not elevens......
i almost stopped at the s'leven, but recalled i had ginger beer at home :)
its this grid LoriP !!! lol I preferred the political conversation much more interesting to hear peoples views
i see orkin, but no army LOL
i learned a lot from both tyger and dee, differ as we may on some points.
Will definitely read back in chat after I'm done, as per DC's and now your suggestion. I haven't looked yet, scared there'd be too many clues, and ruin the grid for me until I'm ready to see clues...... ***in my own faux intellectual way*** :p
actually, we were all so busy chatting at that point, no cluing, nor much playing happened
Lori is a purist.
great conversations; helpful & confusion simultaneously
haz! long time :) nice to see you.
hi Haz
confusing
i love to hear peoples opinions dc s always have never knock anyone for their opinion and its how we learn about each other dont you think
indeed, dee :)
hi haz!!!
Good morning/evening all!
goodmorning Haz
Hello Haz and Spangle
one of the tenets of UUism is that convesation between our diverse groups will bring us together thorugh mutual understanding. I am a Unitarian Universalist at heart :)
G'd morning Haz. Me, a purist? lolol
well I must be one of them too!!! thanks dc s
haz, i think of you often when playing during daytime gmt-4.
Come on, Lori. You can hide behide the DENSA label, but we all know better.
If I get in to a political conversation, it may involve riot police, so I avoid them like the plague....
dc, you say the nicest things. Positive thoughts, I hope?
indeed, haz! i want to lecture them on how to give clues/hints, rather than spelling the words out! drives me batty
:) @ DC
oh dc s same problem here
whats the point if they dont want to think for it?
Do we need to start a campaign, dc? I worry about hurting some people's feelings sometimes but my hands are getting sore from sitting on them.
our chat was very civil, despite differing opinions, so refreshing, lori
***agrees vigorously, yet quietly***
mayhap. i'll draft a, well not a diatribe, but a ... strong suggestion for my profile when i'm better rested.
totally agree!
It's just that my definition of a clue differs radically from others. And you get those who protest that clues are elitist in flavour and prefer the spoonfeeding method.
That's great DC. I'm too fiery, so to keep my blood pressure down, and not tick anybody off, I avoid religious and political discussions. It's a mental health thing. :p
indeed, lore! one person on days has memory issues, and needs simpler clues, i understand, but stil.
I spoonfeed snakes for no-one!
i understand and respect that, lori, many agree with you on that point, too.
lol Haz
snakes are easily fed by hand, in my experience. it's fun to watche constrictors eat.
I vascillate widely to both sides of the clue issue; depends totally on my mental faculties for that day :~)
I love finding words. But when I'm stuck, I like working a clue just as much.
lolol Volley. That's honest!
fair enough, dee. i do enjoy deciphering the clues, though.
ditto LoriP
although some pop culture references miss me completely.
... had to be honest... if you checked chat archive for couple months, you would think I am 2 persons in one LOL
it also has become a race which infuriates me!!! i will own up to making a few snide remarks eg Olympics??? went over the heads! lol
You're never going to hit a cultural reference that everyone is going to get, but google is great and there's always the possibility of consulting a dictionary. It's not banned, is it?
and i have fun giving punny clues :)
indeed so, haz, when it occurs to me to google :)
I'm sure it did lore..... Dictionary Haz? Does it have pictures?
Oh, Volley. Maybe you've got the same thing as FMItch. She has two heads, you know. We found out the other day in conversation. It explains a lot.
lol glad to know I'm not alone
Oh Haz, if only there were some online resource you could shamelessly promote.
I swear with me it is a post menopausal hormone related issue... brain cells work fantastically one minute and not at all the next
Online resource, you say? LIke morewords, for instance?
never alone here volley lol
morewords is nice
morewords is my babble bible lol
yes morewords i agree
Don't let the fact that I am worldwide spokesman for morewords make you think that I am prejudiced in its favour.
my friend nancy says the same thing dee... 'c'mon brain, you and me together now!'
Morewords before Lickety for me
no never Haz!!
peelu - do they still sell that?
You all understand me so well.
it's idiotic.. used to be able to memorize so easily; now I get terribly frustrated; oh well; I remember some phone numbers from when I was 14 years old, but can't remember the name of someone I met last Tuesday
We're all about the acceptance Haz.
Why bother, Volley, unless he/she was particularly interesting and had promised to give you lots of money.
ah Volley - its an age thing. As you get older you only remember the things that are important
I appreciate it, Lori.
sometimes not even them lynxxx!!! lol
LOL great thot haz & lyn
oh, knitters purl, perl isa programming language, duh
Volley, the upside is you can forget all the mistakes. :)
hey all
so true lori
hi bfsog
BBS need coffee, lights and heating
hi, bfsog!
Good morning bf. You're young. Do you remember things still?
G'd morning bfsog
hi bfsog
Are any of the m's stoopid words?
do i remember things?
bfsog only remembers jokes!
hello bfsof
Yes, things. Do you remember things? Anything?
I remember lots of things.... Why?
bfsog, i used to work with a woman, surname buchan , who was from edinburgh
Ms not too bad LoriP
You've just confirmed a theory.
Like, do you remember to wear your pants with the zipper in the front?
the theory that bfsog can remember?
she's retired in Arizona with her daughter nowadays.
Lori, no i always forget that one :P
Thanks lore, I must just be chatting too much......
whether the zipper is zipped, that i separate issue
No, the theory that you get forgetful when you're ..... What were we talking about?
***wonders what Haz is on about***
dc: yeah its a popular name in Scotland, theres even a bus link named after us.
LOL haz
forgetful when you are?
So, good morning/evening all. A good grid?
no idea LoriP ramblings of cooking sherry i imagine
lol haz
old, bfsog, you'll grok someday
G'd morning Haz! Nice to see you.
That reminds me - haven't taken my meds yet.
good morning everyone.
fireworks, and off to keep my girl company. Bye all.
morning, macadam
Good morning macadam.
Bye sprite, congratulations.
well done Sprite take care hugs
Congratulations sprite! Have a good one. G'd morning macadam
congrats, sprite!! my best to caya in her convelesance
Hi Haz.Is the grid as good as it appears?
good morning mac
how is your girl sprite?
still feverish and very very tired.
did they figure out what it is ... flu?
I'll be honest, macadam, haven't got very far but it seems civilised. I've been chatting too much.
Hi to you to loredana.
i've found 122, with much chatting
It's a conspiracy - they're trying to keep me back so that I don't win the race.
blood tests were taken yesterday, can take up to 10 days for results.
so, not too bad
Yea DC! I'm not gonna' get in to numbers.... :p
that stinks... waiting would be ghastly
give our love and hugs for Caya may she be well
phew fireworks finally
we will see, am worried sick as it is and cannot handle any more. Off to my girl to cuddle and hug her. Bye.
some oddball words here
ta sprite; have fun cuddling
ok Sprite take care hugs for you too
Hello Sprite.I wish you well.Lots of love coming your way.
congrats, dee!!!
Ack!!!!! That stoopid wizard is a word? Yuck. At least I greyed something out.
be well, sprite, both of you
A nice cultural reference there, Lori.
ty ty; ty all for great chat earlier; love being here!! off to check emails and find my pillow; Love ya guys!!
Congratulations Volley!
ty
Sleep tight Volley.
sleep well, dee
BYe Volley, have a good sleep.
Yah yah. I'm very "smoove" Haz.
i should get some sleep befoe the sun comes up
good night Volley take care
Very subtle.
Great to see ya' again DC. Take care and sleep tight.
espsince i'm staring at grid with few results, so 68 for the morrow, g'night.
The ym word seems apt for today and the experiment in Switzerland.
*poof*
ok goodnight dc s great to see you take care special person
Sleep is good, dc. But it was good to see you again and to hear that we have another recruit for the 'Make a clue a clue club'
and to you, lore.
so nice seeing everyone again to night. and indeed, you have a solid recruit and True Beliver, haz :)
Eww, there's re's. Poopy.
g'night/day to all yall
LoriP they are poopy but not unobtainable I have them all lol
Sleep well dc.
Excellent. Did I mention the club membership fee? Make your cheque payable to Haz1558, c/o babble.
ciao dc s
{ poofs away into a pile of dust, as a spectre } haunting LOL Haz
Bye dc!
what a grand exit!!!
I just hope Lori doesn't hoover him up. You know what she's like with housework. Dedicated.
bye DC!
no worries about that Haz shes busy getting her re's
***housework? No need for fowl language Haz***
That's a RElief!
see not even a response
heh heh heh
Oh look, I've just seen your icon, Lori. What are the entrance requirements or is it by invitation only?
It's a very exclusive club. Docking fees are beyond reasonable.
Exclusive, you say? No riff-raff?
Shirley not.
You refuse the hoi-polloi?
The peons, and begonias are on their own.
Is Ata a member?
lol, definitely. Has Ata Hara achieved parole yet?
No. It's a sad story. She's still detained in the US. She mentioned something about having won a commission for artwork, but she's covering. Negotiations have reached a delicate stage with the immigration people.
If anybody wants to send money to the campaign, 'Free the Canterbury one' make the cheque payable to Haz1558, c/o babble.
Good Lord. Do we need to bring in a SWAT team?
All contributions will be acknowledged from my island paradise retreat.
No, Lori, they say she's not dangerous. We'll have men in plain-clothes hanging about talking into their sleeves. It'll be low-key when she returns.
fireworks
Ahh, I just hope they're wearing the appropriate tinted eye wear.
It could make all the difference.
Congratulations bfsog
I hope so too, Lori.
Hooray for bfsog!
Congratulations bf. (Makes note that bf has been very productive, it must be because he is young)
did I miss the joke bfsog?
What do you call a woman with 1 leg?
Ilene.
haha - sooo old
Fireworks for me sp8/80 is ridiculous!!!
heh lolol
Congratulations loredana!
Congratulations lore!
Congrats Loredana - I had just found that one strangely enough
well done bfsog
A man walks into a bar
ouch
Thanks for the sp8.
rofl
bf goes for cutting edge. I like it!
see I knew Haz would get the clue immediately!!! lol
I prefer... Two guys walked into a bar, which is really odd because you'd think the second guy would have seen it.
lol MonkeyG
Can I be smug, loredana?
Hello MG
but of course Haz
Hello! Just lurking and picking at words over lunch.
heh, delayed reaction on the sp 8. Better late than never.
I have been trying to remember someone has your pic on their site ! lovely one at that seems I cant remember............
Haz, filling in for ATa Hari?
good one LoriP
Well, I know I can never fill shoes as big as hers, Lori, but someone has to have a measure of smug, now and again.
Morning all - can anyone help with the he6/21
Good Morning Mari
Would the big shoes thing get me into SarcasmIsUs?
a dog breed mari
G'd morning mari. Sorry, I haven't touched the h yet.
It'd be a start Haz, but I know you can do better.
thanks - pass the fish!!
I'll keep working on it.
none left mari all went earlier on
just shed a tear at the video
So that means you have Fireworks well done Mari
Oh, congratulations then mari!
Yes very beautiful but they could of chosen a more appropriate song
Congratulations, mari.
Congrats Mari!
Finish just to see the video. Determined to be a nicer person today :)
Well, you could always start by sending a cheque to the Free Ata campaign. Make the cheque payable to Haz....
I'd better keep working to get to see that video.
Oh Haz anyone would think you were hardup for money! lol
Am I not being subtle?
with those parting comments poof as jilli would say ciao is what lore days take care all
Very smoove.
Be good loredana. Sleep well.
Later lore, have a good one.
bye Lore
Morning all Late on parade today
Good morning FMItch! What's your excuse?
morning FM
G'd morning FM.
umm I was finishing my h4work? Morning Haz, Lori and lynxxx
Your head work? Getting them to talk nicely to each other?
oh ha ha!
I suppose it's an acceptable excuse.
Feel like I haven't got any heads today or at least no brains
h work? ***no idea what that could b***
It comes perilously close to being housework and you know how competitive Lori is about that.
OK, can't ignore the weather. Goingto hit the nursery and garden center. Back later!
su4/5 - plural absent round thing sky.
Bye MG.
bye Monkey
Later MG
Guess what - the weather forecast said 'you will be very unlucky if you see rain today' It's pouring. Haz go to the PB you are getting very flip these days with grid words!
Do we need to give you lots of hints, FM?
No way, I am laying myself open again like that, even for the amuement of the babble world :)
Am I not immune? Do I not have diplomatic status or something?
thank goodness - the 10 out of the way
Oh, go on, FMitch. It may be a slow chat day and we'll need something in reserve for a laugh.
What 2 letters does it start with Lynx?
yay lynxxx, I have it too so maybe there is hope for me yet and I have the yl4 (feels mildly smug)
Well done lynxxx!
ho - think of me!
Well FM, you'll havta' ratchet up the smug-O-meter to catch Haz.
Lori I avoided saying the first 5 letters earlier - Haz hoever didn't
sorry 4 letters
Thanks Lynx. Almost afraid to admit I got it from that clue. ***mixed emotions***
Yes indeed. I'm trying to fill Ata's huge shoes.
I only had the ho 8. Thanks again Lynx, you rock!
Ata hasn't got big feet!?
plain but useful, that's me
Or at least, an 8. Any more big one from that? I better look again.
I meant big shoes in the smugness sense. I think.
Ahhhh I must have missed that part of the conversation. She will be unbelievibly smug when she gets back
and so would I if I were in her shoes :)
They'll have to get an aircraft with extra wide doors for both her head and her feet to get through.
You may have two heads. She'll have one HUGE one.
I see one cant lu4 today so no hiding for anyone.
Vi and I think you should come 'out' Haz and admit to your other affliction.
Cross-stitching on the sly?
LIfe membership of the Jordan fan club?
Your sudoku addiction, as if babble wasn't enough! We will be there if you need us :)
I was caught out, wasn't I?
lol well and truly, as noted by the ungodly hour you were getting your fix at!
Believe me, it's an affliction more than an addiction. I don't have the patience to finish more than about one a year. And I don't look every day by any means.
Oh dear, denial is the classic symptom
I know. I should just admit now that I AM THE WORLD CHAMPION AT SUDOKU!!
Is my namesake back at Uni yet?
No, she goes back next Monday. She's getting started on her dissertation, allegedly.
phone..
That'll be the newspapers to interview FMitch 'Had you no inkling that Haz was Sudoku World Champion?'
delusional now too, it's worse than I thought!
***touch MY meds at 'yer own risk***
su8 springs to mind
'George! You should hear what FM is saying about me!'
LOL at both of you :)
heh, i accidentally greyed out the top h.
ooo goes hunting the su8, thanks lynxxx
Feeling su8 that I already have it.
We shall call Haz Mother su8 from now on.....
Yes! Especially now that you know about my su8 skills in sucky ducky.
BBL stew's up (not dog!)
Enjoy your meal, lynxxx.
Later Lynx, take care.
Bye lynxxx
very strange not to have a t in the grid
It's a funny kind of grid altogether.
Finally found the su8 - think I need a coffee break.
Don't feel inferior!
Scored some more k's. 2 k's left. ***le sigh***
Now you give a clue!!!
lolol FM. Welcome to my world!
We gave lots of clues! Scroll back!
Ok time for coffe and I have some calls to make, toodles for now :)
Later FM, I only have a few minutes left as well.
Toodle pip, FMitch. I'll be back later as well. (Off to sucky ducky.....NOT)
Shall we have a group departure?
On the count of 3
Prob'ally. i have 2 minutes, so I'll say be back after kids are off to skool. Laters!
3.....2......1
GO!
*poof*
Gone !
good morning peoples! How is everyone doing today?
hi, red - am we the only two here?
*are we
Very possibly. but there are probably a few buried in the grid.
see? it's too early for me - went to bed around 9:30 last night, exhausted, then woke up at 5:00!!
:)
I got up around five too, to walk the dog.
where are you, red, back in florida?
I'm still in Fl, at least until october.
I'm starting to think this grid is going to be a bit of a challenge.
well I got 65 words without too much trouble, but i'm pretty much stuck right now -
I'm only at 40, still finding but....it does start to ebb a bit.
whoo hoo! I grayed the upper right hand N!!!! LOL
me, too red, that's my only grey box right now (except for the zeros)
Well, I suppose it is progress...
hi Red & JBV
hi lynxxx
Morning Lynx!
too many e's here and I only have one e word
oh! two now
I have no e's yet!!!
want a clue?
sure...always take a clue.
I am not pround, my icon is still a toilet after all!
ee 4/6 - weird, strange
and ee 4/6 - like an electric fish
Ooooh thanks! uses all those e's
weird e6 as well
thanks, lynxxx
TY VM....I have a few E's now!
have to go, time to start the day , see you later, and good luck!
ep5.14 & 6.24 set
bye JBV
Hi again! Just on for aminutes. Went to the garden center for dirt. Need a breather. Neighbor gave me a big planter.
Got 120 liters of dirt and 10 liters of clay bits for in the bottom.
Is the 10 a compound word?
WHew thats a big platner!
hey Red - a weird ee8 as well!
no Monkey - its descriptive
It IS, but not 120 liters big, but I also have four really nice big metal planters we found (with a "please take away" sign), and my bay treelet needs a mew home.
Thank you! I know it is based on the ho4 (right?) from earlier comments... have a 6; are they related?
correct - 8 doesn't have one - 10 is very plain
Hmmm, that sounds like the 6 I have... will work on this. Thanks!
Putting self in PB after noticing what I said about my bay sapling.
Clue please for un 8/55
going ot put on some differet outside wear clothing.
un8 not an orb
Thanks lunx - easy when you get a clue
OK, boy needs juice and an apple. Will get back to staring for that 10 later. Thanks and bye for now!
Sorry lynx
yw Gran - hadn't even noticed
i have a present for a friend but only have christmas wrapping paper, is that allowed?
not really _ I am sure you could be creative with something else
it's for a friend, yes it's allowed! my friend just gave me a present in a christmas bag! i didn't care.
lol, are you confused now?
too late lynxx im afraid
lol - its the thought that counts anyway
exactly! have a nice day all! i'm off to work! bbl

Hello everyone.
G'd morning Scrabbler
how was your birthday, scrabs??
hi Scrabs
Scrabbs. Hello, did you have a good evening, night out with friends for your birthday treat.
The actual day, Sept 8th, sucked--worked all day where it was crazy busy, then was on call and got paged during the night for a sassy mother. Last night I went to dinner at a great Italian restaurant, with 6 friends. That was the fun part.
Scrabs, how is your back. I haven't been here for a while
Belated happy birthday Scrabs, I have been missing you
Hello Bich.
It is almost 100% better--I occasionally feel a slight twinge of pain. I played tennis last week and did fine. I will start the indoor tennis season next Monday.
G'd morning bichon. elder, glad there wasn't a t in that.......
Great. and Hi to all this fine morning
It is so cold he4--48 degrees F.
hi Bichon
Not much better here Scrabbler. About 55 or so
LoriP... 't' :)

Wow, still missing 13 s's. Lickety's is starting to whisper. Hopefully not.
Are you determined to sp5/14 the use of LIckety today?
heh thanks for those bonus words Haz!
You are welcome!
I totally ignored that 3rd letter possibility. To the coffee pot!
Ooh, and the sp 5 male oriented word gave me a pe 6 male anatomy related word. What a dirty grid.
Who needs coffee when you can see those?
You're obviously not se6 (to rhyme with pe6)
Thanks for that, Lori. I didn't have it! Hi Haz, eva, scrab.
Noooo. I meant rh5. To the PB with me.
lol se 6 was a joke looking for a place to happen in my case....
hi hydra
G'd morning hydra
hi Hydra
It's a good job FMitch isn't on the lu4/9. She's already given me a stern talking to about posting words in chat.
Good morning hydra!

Hi lynxxx!

Bye Lynxx, sleep well.
I'm hoping it works for Eva.
Nice job Lynx. Sleep tight!
Goodnight lynxxx, sleep well.

I have 96 left. You've done well.
Glad it worked, Eva.
I have to get ready for work...bye all.
Bye, scrabs! Have a productive day :)
Hope your day goes smoove Scrabbler.
Bye Scrabbler, hope the day goes well.
Yowsa! You can 'un' the 6 letter word for round. Who knew.
66 for me and time for a break. Thanksk for all the help
Ooh, and that was my last 8. Whee!
Later Eva, have a good one.
See you later, Eva.
What does the 6 letter word for round start with?
s p
Thanks!
is that sp?
I agree, most peculiar.
sp
does the 6 letter word for round start with sp?
yeah, sp
It does. Think in world terms.
thanks, got it
took me a while but I got it, too
Hi bichon
And hi bf
Hello bf.

Then it's bf shoe one.

Got the 5/14 now, too
Yea! One of my missing r's. lol Thanks! :D
Finished the re's. Hooray!
And THAT was my other missing r. Thanks, the cheque is in the mail.....
This sending of cheques is catching on.
let's design a special Babble cheque that we can send each other!
All to be made payable to Haz, naturally.
and you can recoup clues/words?
Yes!
I have to point out that I was once offered a kidney in exchange for a clue. It still hasn't arrived....
look i said il send it soon okay
It was a young man called Bloodaxe. My memory may be going, but I remember that kidney offer well.
r
monkeys are fairly busy this morning.
I'd better take a break, daughter needing the computer. Back later. Bye!

yes please, Mom
oh okay
when I was in college and moved into an apartment... a beautiful black cat kept coming to my door and meowing
the owner would come get it (previous tenant) and a few days later it would be back at my door again

Hi Gwen
new words for me, thanks Mom
we did that 20 or more times until she just asked if I wanted it... but I am allergic... so I took it to my aunt, about 60 miles away, she kept it indoors for several weeks before letting her out... and she never strayed from there
you're welcome Peri
bbs
{{{Mom}}} hi and thanks! that one was driving me crazy
i'm less allergic than I used to be . . . no more asthma
TY mom
you're welcome KJE
glad you found a home for the wanderer!
Hi Une!
{{Annie}} good morning, you are so welcome
hey, Annie!! How are you this morning?
Une, just fine, enjoying the cool weather and you?
a little cooler here too -- a nice break!
ki 7 should be a word... without family
*whispers* I see eeeeeeeees.
Une, How is your Mom?
Hi Judi?
I would just like to say that all you people who've been touting the joys of Firefox . . . you were right!!
Hi.
she's still with us, Annie . . . the home healthcare nurse keeps saying how amazed she is at her strength
*yawn* Morning all...
morning, pini
off to work - bye - poof
Pini, is that your beagle?
I was having loads of problems with AOL when I was playing babble and DrG told me to try Firefox....don;t mess with higher powers...he was so right
Yes, it is =)
I can't believe the difference--fast loading, etc.
Une, I hope she is doing as best as can be and you too in this situation
Pini, I have a MOSTLY beagle girl who's the sweetest rescue dog!
she is, Annie--thank you
Oh, criminy. I just realized that there are 11 K's. Gag gag gag.
i know, k's suck soooo bad
Nice, Une...Koda is a rescue dog of sorts...his original owners got him when he was 8 weeks old and then kenneled him for 22 hours a day for a month before realizing they couldn't keep him); that's when I got him. ;)
aawww, so glad YOU have him now! Love love love the photo of him in the car window!
bye KJE
Thank you...he rides in the front passenger seat and behaves himself in the car - he's awesome!
pini, I wonder what he is thinking about
kennelled 22 hours!! why did they even have him
Aww. That's so sweet, Pini. I used to have a beagle who was a great car passenger too. All I had to do was jingle my keys and she would go running to the passenger door.
here's my girl lounging in the bed behind me sitting at the computer!
100 words down, and i foun me an 8 8-)
Not sure, but he knows when he's in my neighborhood and when he's at my dau's house (to see his "cousins" - her 2 beagles)
or a pair of glasses 8-)
beautiful Monet, flosey :-)
thanks Une
She looks like she could be Koda's twin, Une!!!
congrats, gwen!

or un + sp + from he** to eternity
brb
I agree, Annie
I thought of you when I found the sisters, Annie.
Hazel! I have not donned my habit in ages
Hi Haz!
thanks, mom, got it!
Hi Mom.
you're welcome Dromano
I know, Annie, you've been under-utilised I think.
I cant hover over Luc if he is not available
wow, look at the time. Almost 10:00 and here I sit still in my jammies.
Oh listen, there are plenty of dodgy characters around here.
I had better get my rump in gear and start being productive. I wish you all fireworks. See you soon. {{Hugs}}
I mean, there's Mom, sitting in her jamies at 10.00 in the morning.
hello
have a good day mom
ain't it the truth, Haz. This is sooooo unlike me
Hi Harp and bye
Hello harpjane.
Thank Flosey, you as well
Haz, I will keep my eyes open...Yes, there is Mom in her jammies......*hovering over Mom and dropping guilt upon that lovely lady*
I'm shocked, Mom. As one who never sits down to babble in anything less than tiara and pearls....
lol Haz!
and Mom always has a spotless house...God bless her
And if you believe that, you'll believe anything!
pbbtt, Annie. Must have the wrong mom
(the tiara and pearls, I mean. The spotless home is taken as read for Mom)
but I will take the blessing
I bless all babblers
you house is spotless I am sure, Haz
You're taking the sister bit seriously, aren't you, Annie?
some more than others, Annie
Spotless, Mom. Dirt is too scared to stay around.
oh Haz
better go .... enjoy the day and the grid
Haz, I believe I am taking it a bit seriously but when I take on a project I run away with it....*still hovering*
See you Mom.
{{{{Mom}}} Get dressed!
bye bye Haz and Annie
You're quite right, Annie. Keep them all in line!
yes mam, off to do that now
any clues for li6 nad 7 please?
Bah. Don't get dressed. Babble naked.
any clue for the bottom right o? or the left column h's? Thanks!
Hazel, I learned from a Master, You
Babs, According to Ho***
hope you don't get a callus, judi!
thanks, annie!
Shining my halo and adding up my smug points.
Babs, A tanker that carries petrol
Too late. Babble butt calluses abound.
Left column h - to rh5 with Sherlock Holme's creator.
bottom right o = or word meaning stubborn
Crud. Must pop off for a bit. Work intrudes. *poof*
Speaking of smugness, where is Atalante?
She's not got her deportation issues sorted out yet.
Her cover story is that she has had to stay in the US for another week to do a big art commission.
She is, however, expected back in this country next week. That's if the bribes work.
Good for her, Her Smugness
Her smugness took a beating when they deported her, I can tell you.
Hello! I heard Ata was trying to become a master (or mistress) of disguise and sneak back into the UK as a Goth.
You know you all think that Sarah Palin appeared from out of the woodwork? It's Ata.
Atalante would not stoop that low
A Goth? Will it work?
Desperate times call for desperate measures, Annie.
Oh, bite your tongue, Haz! (or your typing fingers) Poor Ata would never betray all that sane people stand for.
No, the Goth disguise will not work. She just doesn't have enough piercings.
The Daily Mail has an article about how to get the Sarah Palin look.
LOL, I wish I had a copy of the Daily Mail
I've cut it out and will take it with me when I go for the hair extensions.
Good thing they've got such useful stuff in there!
I must google it and see if I can get you the link.
http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/ world/us_and_americas/us_elections/art icle4690544.ece good piece on Palin and the repub. convention written in UK
thanks, Haz
i had sarah palin's hair style in 1968
hey & huggggssssssss u
oopsie
y'all
I'm pretty sure it's been out of style since then....
Well, it looks like the Daily Mailt hinks it's back, harpjane!
http://tinyurl.com/6c2qro There you go for the Sarah Palin story.
i probably still have the bell bottoms that went with it...
i thought palin's hair was the Uptight LIbrarian style LOL
Morning, all.
Hey, nance
Anyway, if we see a woman in a habit with a Sarah Palin hairstyle and Goth piercings trying to get through Heathrow, we'll know who it is.
one of my biggest fears, and this sounds silly, is that her husband will want to go snowmobiling in Yellowstone....
You can't fool the Brits!
hey bzzzzzzzzzzzzz
Right, Haz. We'd better alert security!
good morning
hey sharon
Good morning sharon and nance.
Hey, Sharon
It's a valid concern harpjane.
Hello, new entrees!
hardish grid, or just me?
It's hardish.
hey haz, vic & hurshy
esp the i :P
I have the empty pen, the adverbed preposition, without anger, and angers.
at least this grid doesn't have 3 words to find - lol
Was that a hint for a hint?
would someone please put me out of my misery and clue ru6 and 7 please?
hey flosey - i can't
The empty pen can have letters removed from the end and STILL be valid.
Ah, thanks, Haz.
mayyyybe
I'll try, flosey.
ty Haz, was afraid that empty pen was a clue and was really in a whirl
ru6 - vaguely sounding like but different spelling to your aunt's husband.
r plus u, I should say.
It was an i clue, not an ru clue, flosey.
tytyty Haz, for fireworks
Thanks again, Haz.
lol
Yay for flosey!
i saw the ru clue first and then i got the in's
yay flosey
il5/12 - il plus what the other half of Buddy's Peggy (anagrammed)
Congratulations flosey!
WOOHOO! FLOSEY!
Or, in fact, il plus Buddy's Peggy backwards.
and now, since I've been up since 4:30, perhaps better try to get a bit more sleep
Have a nap, flosey, you deserve it.
sleep well flosey - bye
ty all for clues, see you at flip
Ho hum, time to hang out the laundry. See you later!
bye vic & hb
See you later, Vicuna.
I read the article about SP....Anne Shooter gets my vote!
bye flosey and vicuna
mine too
She has a sense of humour, at least.
yepperrs
less the extra Rs - lol
ho8?
i didn't like obama's vp pick - biden? what is up with that?
ho8 - not possessing an abode
thanks
harp, without an abode for the ho8
thank you haz & annie
'Oh give me an abode, where the buffalo roam'
lol
think Paul Simon and Graceland
what about the ho10?
ho10 - the quality of being ho6/30 (think plain)
thanks
thank you haz
y'all are rocking today
You're welcome.
I have to leave for a while, bye, dear babblers
fireworks!
bye annie - hb
Bye Annie, see you later, perhaps.
yay for angel
yay angel
hi gang, back from boot camp... thx for these odd clues!

is that what boot camp means?
yw haz, it's really making a difference for us already!
if so, thank you for doing mine, also
see, we dems look out for the other guy too ;)
I know! It's great. But be sure to keep up those abdominal crunches, I need a bit of work in that area.
nance - we're making use of exercise by proxy. As does the work, we get the benefits. You just need to sign up.
haz, are your thighs and butt hurting today? by proxy? mine are - and I can tell my arms will be sore tomorrow! yours?
okey dokey - i'm in as long as i don't have to be the one actually doing the workout
(just want to make sure we're working the same areas)
look whose back
look whose back
echo
hey sog
mine? lol
Exercise by proxy is great. I feel no pain at all, just get the benefits.
oh, if only that were true
clue for the middle-ish e?
It's a fencing sword (ep4)
i've never been a workout kind of woman - my thing was always needlework
thx haz
You're welcome.
lol - can't get it yet - monkey monkey
got it... whew
ep4/5 - a p drowning in a sea of e.
lol
and stats for the bottom right o? then I'll have one from each, at least
or6 - if you're stubborn you'll find it.
or6/24, that is.
got it... tvm
85 in...110 to go
You're welcome.
thanks again haz
No problem, nance.
bottom row grey
im debating changing ISP. I am in the UK, recommendations? Currently I am with Pipex.
sorry bf, can't help
I'm not well enough up in computers to be of any help, bf.
brb
wow, a lot of m's - and I only have 4!
I like Pipex but my connection has been dropping for the past 2/3 weeks. I call up and keeep getting fobbed off.
I hate being fobbed off... much better to be fobbed on - lol, what's fob? :)
did I miss a clue for the ep 5?
'mornin ruru
ep5 - ep plus the first letters of an equine
like they pass the buck, one day the advisor I speak to says one thing, the next says something else.
back
e + f sound + either **
hey ruru
add a vowel for the pl
ep6 adds a vowel to the end of ep5
Afternoon people.
thanks green
still am for me here
hi turtle
Hello red.
oooh, I just found an he4/4! and off to the pb I go
hey red
hi rth
thank you haz got them both
Hi sog and Haz and nance and asg and anyone else.
Theme is umbrellas today. I think I need to get rid of the latirine.
Glad to help, ruru.
i thought it was impressionists?
I think you're right, nance.
having trouble with one other .. the he 5/12 ther first one
omg... this biggest loser family show.... watching the premiere... omg..... I feel GREAT now!
Yea! Got all those nasty vowels gray.
Ooooh impressionists?
goooo bzzz
You could always have 'Les parapluies' by Renoir and combine themes.
No, it's brellys today.
oooh, got the su8 all by myself!
he 5/12 - attendance response plural
I just rechecked it is umbrellas.
going to get one.
he5/12 - looks like a greeting, substituting a double consonant for a vowel
monkey'd that clue haz - tx!
You're welcome.
we ARE a team - I work out, you clue!
isn't sprite responsible for icon's now? or should we still go to lickety's list?
It suits me.
Yes, nance, the list of icon themes are in sprite's profile.
thx haz - where are you seeing umbrellas red?
Okey now theres a blah umbrella.
The list.... is in sprite's profile.
sorry haz I am not getting it..can't seem to get to a double cons am I missing something he4?
he4/5 - he plus three quarters of feline King of the jungle.
The greeting would have a double consonant, this takes one out and replaces it with a vowel.
oh sorry I misunderstood your clue
thx again haz
thank you
No problem.
I do look at the list on lickety, BzznBee also saw it, but wahtever, anything to get rid of the latrine.
lol
still only have 4 m's! lol.... I'm trying to get 3 mo4/5 then I 'll open the list
As - do you have the wizard(s)?
now I do! :)
There's also Mr Haggard or Miss Oberon (pl)
I don't know those.... Harry Potter?
mo6 and mo7 - a phonetic rendering of a woman's name, think Miss O'Hara.
got those two - the Scarlet one.... tx! 101 in, 94 to go... listy he4/5 I come!
No, Mr Haggard was a country singer, Miss Oberon was an actress. Same first letters as the wizard (four) then finish with a vowel and plural.
tvm haz!!
thx haz
but now, it's Lickety's turn
lol
of course I can't get the very first word....
You're welcome - over to Lickety. I'd better head to the kitchen and see what the gourmet chef is going to come up with for this evening's meal.
got it
oooh, I forgot, I have meatballs to make - tx for the reminder. Wow haz, what would I do w/out ya?
Meatballs! Now there's a thought..... have a good day all!
I'm gonna take one pass thru the list, then take a break.... 90 to go right now
bye y'all bbl

I don't like this grid
np
bbl
Good afternoon everyone.
howdy everyone:) elder;)
hello Cross..:)
what is the in 6/7 combo?
Sharon hello, I do not have that, sorry.
okay, thanks
it is actually an in5/6/7 combo--the 5 sounds like your mom brother
has to do with the stuff in a pen
plural the in 5
this grid IS confusing
in 6: nothing in the pen
hi everyone :) -- been lurking in the grid
thanks you guys
Thanks you Scribe and Cyber.
Hi everyone - me too lurking - those are three weird I words....
and hello Cyber.
Hello Cad.
un 8?
un + sp6/24 (which is another word for round object)
Cyber. un..+ not round.
UN + a geometrical object
ty -- thought I'd tried that
down to 6 -- but need a break before asking for clues!
!*!FIREWORKS!*!
Well done Phae.. !!!
Thank you elder
Good Luck to all still working on the grid
Phae.. Thank you and you have a good day.
pu 7?
pu7/36 - immature, take pe5 meaning danger and add a u and another vowel at the end
I feel so discouraged, I'm not sure I can ever reach a village elder status on the rankings page because the lowest accumulated points almost always go up with the puzzle amount daily. But either way, fireworks for today
Yay for BNLboy! and don't be discouraged about the rankings. They really aren't the point, you know!
hi vi! hi all!
BLNboy. well done !! regarding the stats, most players do not play to be the tops.. its the enjoyment of the game and chatting with other babblers.
Hello, TO. I seem to be alone here.
Hello TO.
Hello, elder.
vi: we are not alone.
*cue the Close Encounters music*
oooh did you see "fringe" last night?
hello Vic.. we are not alone, many lurking I suspect to get the grid finished.
Vic lol.
hi elsder! hi bnl!
I never see anything. What's "fringe," other than the trim on my aunt's lampshades?
elder to the PB
new series by lost creators. aspires to be the new x files.
She saved herself with an -ing, TO.
Oh, crikey what have I said, will look..:)
no, no save.
NO? SOmething else? Then I must look, too. Or are you just being draconian.
Vic.. thanks for that, can we agree I just scrapped through.:)
i am being owlish.
:)
lol. Well, I guess we can't complain about that. =)
which is a painin the a**
I was being vicunesque.
ah, of course and elder was being elderly.
lol
Lol .
crossy surfaces from the grid for some air;)
home
crap
... and crosshair is being cross and hairy.
ok so long as you're not going to be cross.
and he trudges off to the pb....
hehehehe
Not that is a clear PB... lol
Welcome ho4, crosshair.
must go get lunch - later, all!
yea yea...
No equivocation from anyone about that one!
Bye, TO!
..come on in Cross.. food and drinks are free..oh perhaps not if your a bit crumpy!:)
ill bring the cheese:)
and hello Cross..
Yay for cheese!
actually i made 2 loaves of cheese bread...
1 pound of cheese in each loaf;)))
.. good strong one.. the better.
Oooo. Sounds yummy!
just slice,toast and eat;))
hi all...lunchtime stop...
can we share one loaf.. please:)
Stop it, stop it!
Hello, reparteena.
*peeks in* :D
hey V
Salivating.... love bread and love cheese, both combined .. great!
or i make a awsome onion loaf...
ATA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!
hello Rep.
VIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII :):):):)
afternoon elder
must have real butter with this of course..none of that margerine
I heard you've got new jobs, are moving to Dublin (maybe), have gone fully Goth, etc. etc...
hello Ata.. good time on holiday.
LMAO. Um. Well actually .....
How was the con? How were sales?
goth?? i try a black licorice loaf for you;)
Cross, butter , but of course.
lol, crosshair. What a great idea: each of us impersonated in a loaf of bread.
I'm still in Oregon, for another week or so, some mad person decided to pay me lots of money to redesign his coffee shop logo, so I thought I'd stay here to talk to him about it. Of course, it's even more impossible to create than the salmon and mermaid debacle!
elder we have one of those old mason jar butter churners and will make fresh butter for you:)
Come on, how can any coffee shop logo be weirder than Starbucks? That's half salmon anyway.
Ata.. how wonderful.. Its work but more money and still sort of on holiday, can't be bad.
hi babblers
do a logo that emphasizes the actual bean itself
this is - wait for it - Grendel and Grendel's mother from Beowulf, kind of dragonized, all in the outline of a leaping salmon!
Cross, how grand.. lovely.. post it over :)
Wahoooo! You are the Salmon Woman!
heavens to betsy
I like the starbucks original logo - funky ... not a fan of their coffee... but the original anatomically correct logo was fun
Salmon are your DESTINY!
they really are! *cries*
*can't stop giggling*
Ata.. good grief !! work cut out on that one.
You will manage something wonderful, I'm sure, and you have to admit it will be truly unique.
hurshy!!!!!!!!!! *big hugs*
Hello Kje and Hursh.
tell me about it, can't decide whether to continue giggling or start crying LOL
*hugs* back
Hello, kje, hursh, anyone else who just entered while I was busy giggling.
hey Kje & Hursh
crossy hates starbucks coffee:/
hurshy has never had coffee
good paint stripper though....
Ata, keep giggling ..less face lines..
I hate coffee and am allergic to coffee. Gah
I don't drink coffee, either. Always smells so much better than it tastes.
take less muscles to smile than to frown so be lazy and smile!:)
diving into the grid....
i don't even like the smell.
Hi all.. anyone have a hint for the un8/55?
un8/55 - un + ball
Un/8 un + round shape.
I have all the rest... can clue any other word
OMG - I LOVE coffee... really good strong coffee with just enough cream to turn it the color of drak dark chocolate... and just enough sugar to barely take the edge off... heaven
hello! all! hurshy???? *serves up ice cream*
mmm. coffee...
Hello, stidmama.
grabbing list with 88 to go from last night.
un + orb
So, Ata, good sales in Atlanta? Fun?
Fireworks... thanks elder! My mind was insisting on using the wrong third letter
*wishes it were not just virtual ice cream*
YAY cheese!
atalante? where?
Yay for Cheesenips!
hurshy, can you help me on the EE 6?
we have a coffe here for you then kje..it a actual liquid coffee concentrate used for camping..i tsp makes a large cup but we used to used 4 tsp per cup during crammiong sessions;)
in a spooky manner
cramming*
not particularly good sales, not just for me but for everyone, but soooooooo much fun. So so so so much fun!
Thanks stidmama, Vicuna!
Well, that's the important thing, then! I saw a couple of your flickr pics and you were clearly getting into the spirit! lol
ee6 - like in a horror movie, maybe
doesn't sound as appealing as fresh roasted, fresh ground, frsh brewed does cross
*offering arm for IV coffee drip*
oh! got it! thanks!
by your description i thought you were just after the caffene jolt lol
in a real cup - won't drink coffee out of paper or styrofoam
which led (of course) to the 8
is the ep 6 related to the 5?
oh yes. I met lots of pretty pirates and partied with half of the Battlestar Galactica actors. Much fun!
lol!
you have never had coffee in a take out cup?????
if I am forced to have coffee at starbucks, which I occasionally am... I ask for a real cup... they all have them
Mother is IMing me from Paris!!! *very happy smile*
ive had river water strained through river sand in the bottom of a old sock so a paper cup does not wrinkle my nose:))
cool, stidmama!
made good water for soup:/
ep6 yes related to ep5
rofl eeeew crosshair!
thanks cheesenips *thinking*
just add a letter
I've roughed it cross... but if all I need is a caffeine fix, then I'll use diet coke or tea... coffee is a pleasure I prefer done correctly without compromise
lol cheesenips..thats my wifes fav snack.she steals them out of my bits and bites all the time:0
i love them too.... i love myself i guess lol
hmmmm i've just been boarded by a stinky cat
bath time!!
Avast!
got it. greek plural or something. :-D
now she's complained that I moved a muscle. bratling
p.u. atalante... at least that explains the smell!
yes! I got the eye-ell by myself!
but the IN (all) and IR 7 elude me. *sigh* maybe I really should go make some coffee? *wondering where the eletric grinder is *
ir7/28 - without anger
in7 - empty pen
thanks for the IR vi!
ir - not mad
in6 - remove a letter
in5 - remove another
YES! the Ks are krossed out!
hm.... thinking....
in4 - adjectived preposition
vi, you are my bestest bestest babble bud ever!!!
any clues for the kn4/9, please?
we <3 Vi
Gee gosh, thanks, stidmama.
got the babblet last in 4.4
*blushing*
kn 4/9 sounds a little like the Swiss dried soups
kn 4/9: kn + yoU aRe my other best friend?
kn4/9 - k plus go quickly backwards
thanks to you both-i had tried all but that!
DOn't forget to pluralize it.
oooh! Ls locked!
and desperate dog is BORED TO TEARS!!! *sigh* must go "throw the ball" later all! *poof*
hi all -- back again
Bye, stidmama, Hello, cybernan!
stuck on the first re 6 - any clues?
poor unloved puppy! have fun!
re6... is it the one to sole a shoe again?
yes, thanks, amelu
gosh, I havent played babble for a month and it shows. I suck!
PE8?
pe8/50 - segment of moon?
to do with the moon, hurshy
ah thanks
pu5/22, very weird word.
FYI
segment of the moon? -- doesn't help me
Okay, forget the segment. It's a babbler ending in winkle plus the moon.
I'll have to look for such a thing, hursh! Thanks.
very odd word!
ah -- ty vicuna
the name of the stinky cat on my lap is in the grid
(I was thinking demi when I said segment. Sorry.)
or 6?
Hungarian pl dog! (for pu5)
or6 - bad-tempered and stubborn
Let me guess, Ata. Me5?
i don't want a bad-tempered, stubborn Hungarian dog
nope! she's pu4/10 + i
oh yes - guess I get the fish
Oh! lol
and acts like it too
I was going to guess Ho5 next, so it would have been a long while!
Nor an or6 dog of any nationality, really, hursh.
I have one of those here too
You make your location sound so enticing, Ata.
but I also have a small black kitten fuzzball with the loudest purr in the world!
Well, that makes up for a lot.
(see flickr for her cuteness)
I've seen, you silly besotted thing, you! =D
*!* ta da *!* -- thanks for the help :)
great video today
*grin*
Yay for cybernan!
any clues for the pu6/30, please?
her latest is climbing up the screens so she looks like she's flying
pu6/30 - in a weak manner
Oooh, very unhappy screens!
pu 6: descriptive of a play on words
Can she get herself unstuck?
well they haven't collapsed ... yet
yep, she gets to the top and then jumps down
I suppose vic's definition is the correct one!
thanks, the combo of the 2 clues finally did it!
If our cat gets a claw stuck in a screen, she can't get free and has to be rescued, although while struggling most ungratefully.
Yours would have double n's, I think, cyber!
silly girl! I'm sure kyla will get to that stage when she's a bit bigger and less kitten-elastic
(I don't know how that "although" got into that sentence. Must have wandered over from something else I was thinking.)
cute cats, atalante -- the tabby with the kitten looks a lot like one we had
gotta run -- have a busy few days ahead -- back at the flip :)
Ho hum, lunch break over by a mile. I must get something else done. Good to see you, Ata! Bye, all!
bye vi dearest!
the tabby is my favourite girl :) I love her muchly
she sleeps on my legs at night and purrs me to sleep
ok, 38 to go and at a standstill... guess I'll have to check the list... *sigh*
Good thing! I would have NEVER gotten the last word on the list, LOL!
hello
dc!
ata! how are you? :)
good! trying to remember how to babble :)
been on holiday, or just busy?
holiday :)
hello everyone
very nice :)
howdy, icepyro
brb

ok that was easier than I thought it would be
work thing, or you're done w/grid, ice?
work. had to go to someone's office to give reassurance that it was ok to click ok basically :)
I've only just started the grid
a always want to hurt users like that. Instead, alas, i just reassure them and explain the why if they care.
Hello. Tough one today! Anyone have the first he5?
not i yet, superflippy, and hello
he5 - relating to sun, greek root
he5sp5 :)
Hi, seain. For a sec I thought, "Hello!" That's an he5!
LOL super
Well this time the lady was nice, so I didn't mind. Actually the ones who are afraid are by far nicer than the ones who want whys and demand answers.
I don't have that sp5, either. But thanks for the clue!
lol I thought the same thing when I read what you requested. and hello super
so true that, ice
un8 is a stupid word, it i so decree!
yes, it is.
super, i helped, or confused?

now to find the un8 ...
Helped. I have it now. Thanks!
bannishing that word to the edge of the world, never to return
hi ata!
unorb ata

un + another word for what white-lighters do...
thx kje
oh that *is* silly!
howdy, bfsog
I didnt see that other n yet
i am decreeing, my will shall be obeyed!

hi kt
Congrats amelu
congrats, amelu!!!
I wonder if I met any of your friends
i was here, toiling away at Customs and house hunting.
wtg amelu
thanks! some of the words were beasties!
i should imagine so, ata, though there's likely no knowing for certain.
congrats on the commission Ata *proud grin*
thanks dc
Hi kje
even the one author I want to meet most was there *sigh*
bbs, i'm going to go bathe and dress, and feed the cats
hi FM... listening to a music video
grrrr sorry \ro
grrrr sorry \ro
ro was eating my sleeve
Ata you def on for the 27th?
absolutely!
GREAT!!
Gotta go, catch you anon.
wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
having fun there ata?
who is your favourite author?
it's not so much my favourite author as the one I am most curious to meet. Brandon Sanderson
oh gosh I didn't even realise he was there! Dragon*con is just *so* huge
I think there were a few other authors I know of there, but can't think of it that much
Katherine Kurtz was there, she was awesome
I know you're a sci-fi geek, do you watch BSG?
BSG?
Battlestar Galactica. I guess not then :P
nah, I don't get into much sci-fi television actually
grrrr. I want someone to squeee with about all the BSG people I met LOL
not a scifi fan ata - but will squee with you anyway
SQUEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!
lol kje
my husband is the sci-fi geek, he introduced me to BSG and it's awesome, but I'm still trying to catch up so I don't know character names and such yet.... Hi everyone!
wheeee! SQUEEEEEEEE!
Hi All, just getting in from the usual Gym routiene. Lunch time. Salmon, sweet potato, gatorade, and lettuce. Whoo Hoo. I shall Squeee too. It seems like a good idea! Hello All!
I will admit I have not given any sci-fi TV a fair chance since the great disappointment that is enterprise
yay Niamh! To be honest, I've still only watched half of it, I'm just started season 3. But I *adore* it
hi red and niamh
hi red
I refused to watch BSG for a loooong time. I loved the original BSG too much, but eventually I was persuaded, and I've loved it more than any other sci-fi TV in a *long* time
it's a really good show, even my office-mate that is VERY not a sci-fi girl loves it!
brb
I started watching in the middle of season 2, so I know from there to current (mostly) but I have no idea where it started
I agree, Niamh. I know people who dislike sci-fi that watch it. It's got good characters. And with that, their setting doesn't matter so much
hi all! what is bsg?
I met the guys who play Chief Tyrell, Gaius Baltar, Adama senior, Colonel Tigh and the adorable and gorgeous Richard Hatch who plays Tom Zarek
battlestar Gallactica. I dont watch it though.
Battlestar Galactica
I'm on a recruiting mission :P
hello TO
i saw the premiere of "fringe" last night. by the lost creators, an xfiles type show.
was it good?
I'm so bad with names, I know who Gaius Baltar is though!
it was no x files. then again it had no one as sexy as david duchovny. which is sad given the current turn of events.
thought you might :)
what are you recruiting, ata! and good to see you back.
brb
my current favorite tv show is Prison Break though.. new season started 2 weeks ago. Mr. Wentworth Miller is a hotty!
my favorite is "The Shield"
Prison Break looked interesting, been wanting to check it out more
that's a good show too, I don't get to see it much
it's on monday nights on Fox (Prison Break)
well this is the last season.
hello everybody
hey there jacq
may i ask how the board is and how many words tonight?
Ah, no wonder I haven't seen it much... I'm almost never home Monday Nights... at least not watching tv
195, so far I have 46 so I'm not qualified to say how it is yet
my big TV day is today usually
niamh love your monkeys! you can use them well today
195, wow, it doesn't look liek that board would carry all those words, i wonder which dead language i'll have to learn tonight
ty naimh, and my great niece shares your name
hi again, buddies
this last monday I was in a hotel in Denver and my show got preempted by football
hello BDG, thanks TO (I stole them from Google)

ahhhhhhh, it is beautiful
waves to the invisible Owl
dives in
sorry to hear you're not here, TO. where are you then?
how is it pronounced?
I think I put Shel in there during a poet theme day, it was a while ago but I like it so I kept it
neeve (sort of) it's Gaelic
the mh adopt a soft v or f sound even if said by a gaelic speaker
dives back in, wish me luck
is that where neve campbell's name comes from?
good luck!
ty, oh beautifully named one

ho6 is plural of ho5/16

congrats, stid!!!
hello sprite *worried mama look* are you doing okay?
woohoo, stid!!
hi sprite
YaY stid!
Hi Sprite, how are you?
*looks closely at sprites icon* hmmm
Oh crud, I was going off the wrogn list so I have an umbrella, not an impressionist.
ata! and all! Great company. No, not doing ok at all. Caya is still pale, tired and feverish. I am on the brink of collapsing.
so you got the wrong impression, red?
I love this video!
stiddie, so did I. Lovely, isn't it... love rules.
I'm sorry to hear that sprite
holding steady is a good thing, sprite, may she get better soon.
Indeedy. see since the list is in sprites profile, I have to be sure to look when spritey is on line.
oh dear... *sad for sprite and caya*
why not just add her to your friends, red?
Ata, you back yet? No energy to do anything worthwhile here, I barely survive. Tomorrow assessment of how much disability benefit they are going to grant me.
Sprite, you need some of the nice ginger drink....I think its austrailian. at least I can never seem to get it in America.
just put me in friends, red, or bookmark the link in my profile. Then you have always access to the list.
next week :) *hugs spritey and caya*
where are you now atalante?
*hugs Ata right back.* Hope you have a great time with Anya.
not georgia still?
*hugs dc and stid and red and Une and icepyro and and and... all her friends*
ahhh, I have no friends!
don't you like the icon, icepyro?
oh, piffle, red.
back from georgia, in oregon, madly trying to design Grendel
*kicks red* You do, silly, you are just too lazy to put them in the list!
oh wow Ata. Great endeavor!
LOL, thats actually what I meant, no friends on the list....
afternoon, everybody
sprite... usually Id have several comments to make on it, but I'll take it easy on you this time ;)
guess I will go get an impressionist.
you're in my side of the country Ata ! *excitedly waves southward*
I like the biography of titian, sprite. a fascinating painter.
hey icepyro, go ahead :)
oregon is so lovely; i look forward to going back. maybe we can coordinate that a time, ata
hello mamapolo

thanks stid! I learned more about him thanks to the icon theme, it is fascinating.
hello mamapolo

hello, mamapolo, welcome

well, I have a book to finish (reading The Killers Within -- about the rise of multi-resistant bacterial infections) and another to start... and a garden that seriously wants attention after my nap.
I am in Washington, Niamh
dear stid, enjoy, hun. And thanks for thinking of me :)
enjoy, stid!
ah, but you see _i_ am on vacation at the moment... and want to go down to see my cousin's exhibit at the Oregon society of artists in Portland anyway...
well how do you know you're closer then?? hun? Maybe I live in Vancover WA?? :P (I don't but I could!)
sprite, you and your family are never far from my thoughts or heart.
um, because you're in california?
no, I'm in WA
and ashland (oregon) is abut 300 miles from portland, while I am just over 100...
I have to be off, my little girl needs me again. *hugs* to you all and have fun. If you can spare a thought of good luck, please send it to me tomorrow... I need this assessment doctor to understand how the situation is.
you ARE? WHERE!!!!
thanks stid, that really really helps.
(((Caya))) (((SPRITE)))
much healing for caya, sprite, and you too :)
oooo :) well I'll be in Portland one day next week at least, to go to the airport ... but I don't know which day it'll be yet

GO EAST COAST!
lol
Hear, hear, bea!!!

(I noticed the flag Gadget, you're still close enough to call family)
I may be on west coast but Id prefer to say Southside (formerly from ATL)
Hey, I was born in the Carolina's, does that make me a token eastcoaster???
heh
Yay England! LOL
Pini, it makes you an honorary Southerner, much more honorable than just an east coaster.
Babble gangs should compete with yummy PB dishes (there's my 2 cents)
wishes someone whould drop some PB words right now forget the food, I want words.
Recipe Rumbles!!!!
hiya!
think maybe I'm hungry... brb
thanks, Red...you can come visit the WC anytime!!! ;)
Red had a PB word in there.
Not that it was a particularly tough word. :-)
lol...wickd...you made me go back and figure out which one it was!
I'm still trying to figure it out...
mo4. :)
pfft call it on a word that i don't have lol. I was all like "ooo she did hmm which one.... oh."
Oh.
I said it wasn't tough, lol. I almost said "wasn't su5 tough"...then I would have had to go there myself!
I already had it darn it.
malesh guys.
Do you all have the cave exploration?
well thx for pointing out su5 ;)
I love that word.
That was my favorite find today so far, Bea.
yeah that one I got way early without any clues
its also the longest word I have so far heh
I have the ten
I am really not doing too well with the grid, probably because my icon is wrong.
Mine is too, red.
having an exceptionally hard time with this grid!
khd fdjsklfj fjkldjg gkjdkj gjgj d
But, I always look at the theme under resources.
100 words down...met my goal for this grid...going to list! *sigh*
Shen, did it help when someone emailed you likety's page?
I guess the real theme is on sprites page, tomorro is portraits.
ho10 leads to ho6 :)
ho 4/8/10/6/5 are all sort of related! ;)
shene, this grid is tough
HO 10 could lead to HO8
really troubled by the ho's beyond ho 6....
Troubled with hos in general.
The big ones all build off of the place you live, ho4/4
the base word for those 5 ho's is "casa"
Woo! Just got the 10. *happy dance*
congrats wickd
gads...better get back to work...
wickd, maybe if you supported a brothel, they'd not be on the streets
there's an ho/8?
woot thx for thints on the 10
Anyone have the un8?
I'll try that, Sean. Gotta support the hos.
yes bea it did tremendously i got another 45 words
the un8 has been banished

Clue?
dc has so decreed earlier
banished? Or, as the people in your icon would say, Icy, ban-i-shed?

I've broken my addiction but still enjoy a grid or two :-)

ep5 is a Latin(?) word
kje is giving you a phonetic clue, jellen
the last kn word/s are a knotty or hard protuberance or growth, as on a tree.
nah, I'm half he4/5 - kids are doing hw, and the afternoon shuttle service is about to begin: gymnastics, baseball, gymnastics parent meeting, pick up from baseball - then sitter so I can go to book club!

yvw
oops, you're right, kje

ho10
the 10 is the state of being unattractive
re6/21 re 0
BUT, asg... will you show up and say "I didn't read the book" or will you sit there and fake it
PMS, was that a clue? if so, I didn't understand :(
re6/21 repair shoe
odd, but I never thought of that word meaning that
re6/21 is to repair the bottom of a shoe
oh, I see how to thread it; thx. I couldn't see that before

sp8 extend the daring sp5.22
un + le4
Mother Su8

don't have the sp5/22
well sometimes le4 is mo4... but not always
only the 1st he5/12 left
sp5/22 - verve
kje, are you done?
sp5.22 someone wh is 'hot' or is daring
Oh, I do have the sp5, now looking for the sp8, thanks
he5/12 - sun prefix
BBL, time for me to get back to "work" again (as if this puzzle isn't hard work!)
yes asg - finished like 12 hours ago
no you didn't - but congrats!!!
no, I lie asg...
words that end in sometimes vowel always trick me up
I have 10 left
hi y'all. taking a break from writing performance reviews to take a look at the grid. How is everyone today?
thanks got the sp8
josh? woohoo?
I sneak in every chance I get...just dropped off one kid, leaving in a few w/the other (and his posse)
I take back my congrats
any clues for the su8
I give it back asg
not yet - i don't know what sun prefix is
I don't have the sp8
he + sounds like the lion's sign
but I'm better than you are pe4/5 (that's my clue)
it's linked to the sp5
sp8 builds on the sp5 - verve or chutzpah
su8 - one of the great lakes
thanks got the su8

LOL red
i am good red, other than some weird virus that just manifested itself today..... crazy rash (purpuric) all over my trunk, particularly abdomen.... spread to upper arms and thighs... headache and fever and elevated BP
real quick Dorens - I think she had one, then considered buying the upstairs (or did) and was going to combine, and I think now wants to sell one of the two... that sounds more like what I remember... ok, must run
funny you should ask, you weren't expecting that answer
oooh, dorens, get that checked out! I hope you feel better! *poof!
hi, everyone - dorens do you work in a school? sounds like chicken pox!!!
just left the doctor... i love his ironic low key sense of humor... he said, you don't need to have gone to med school to guess that you have a virus
Nice Dorens. Have you been bit by a tick?
Or ran out of one of the childhood vaccienes?
not that i know of. he didn't think it looked like that either
How awaful and I imagine uncomfortable.
no, the funniest thing is that it doesn't itch at all.... just red pinpoints all over, and i'm going to a black tie wedding on sunday and have pretty brand new lowcut black dress that might not look so great at this point
I do hope by then you are better!
better look around for a wrap, shawl, serape, etc.....:)
heehee... i did get a new black shawl... guess i might as well plan on keeping it on throughout
with a pretty pin to hold it in place -
we'll see... sunday is a few days away....might have resolved itself by then. And my granddaughter will be here on Saturday, but my MD says don't worry, i was probably contagious before the rash, but no longer
good luck, dorens - hope it clears up soon
thanks jbv... me too
need one more e - from the upper left corner - have ee 4, 6 and 4

Hi, tyger!
hey, jellen
hi tyger and bye bzzn
Did not see that! Thanks, tyger and ruru
hey, ice
hi tyger.. how is our favorite little republican today?
not a republican, ruru. independent, libertarian leaning
yw, jellen
it's hard to be more anti-Bush than I :)
su5 is plural of su 4/6
Had to watch today's video twice. Makes me cry...
would have gladly voted for the Dem you don't like
Off for some tissue.
su4/6 is plural
Hilary? I like Hilary
but I took a stab
Hilarious Clinton??
oh, then I've got you confused with someone else on that
she's got grit, and other admirable qualities. no, she's not perfect. neither are thee and me
thx for pointing me in the right direction, jellen
Had just found it myself, tyger...
clue for the 9 or 10 please?
un8, pretty please?
un + orb
hello all
monk, ho10 is the quality of unprettiness
hey, knight
Hi, monkey, Kenny and KT

ho10 = the condition of being ugly
I wish Hilary was on the ticket
Sorry, can't get it.
so does Obama about now :)
actually plain and not ugly kn
un + sp6
un + sp6/24
ruru- maybe hillary could move to canada and become a canadian, like she became a new yorker, then become PM
i got the ho6 that means plain, not pretty... not sure how to take it to the ho10
Finally,thanks!
and improve both places :)
sphere
yes kenny
lil... have the 6 meet the monster of the lake
Oh my God!

I'm not the only one in my family who wanted Hillary. my son - who has never in his life voted for a Dem for president, was ready to vote for her
tank u ice
what a word that un8 is!
Lil Monkey ..... house + nDan**a + lake monster
and hello everyone
Hi, Mom!
ok, wait... I thought you said you were independent, libertarian leaning?
tanks mom... now what is the 9?
moi? -
hey mom
i am hardcore conservative
no apologies
9???? I don't have a 9. hmmm off to look
tyger ...
OH I thought there was a ho 9 .... the 9's I have
there are 2 9s... i don't know what they start with mom
The only 9 I have is plural of pe8...
pe 9 - plural of pe8 having to do with the moon
pe9 is pl of pe8 rh9 is to be without rh5
there's a pe9 (a pl)
Take mother Goose and her Nursery rh5/18 and add opposite of more
rh9 = with rh5
hey, jilli
the the rh9 to do with lack of potry perhaps?
Thanks, ice and Mom
poetry
Hi Jacq :)
the video *is* very sentimental
you're welcome Jellen
Is in 5/18 a fish?
hi tyger -- I'm on the job at the library -- it's quiet just now
no fish
jellen, if it is, I'll share the fish with you
in5/18 starts out with the stuff in a pen
Clue for the in5 then, please?
i have no in5 ling of what you mean
there are several words that start out with the writing fluid
Thanks, tyger and monkey
off to look, only have one pen liquid word
lemme reload this window. I just uploaded thru Exp & haven't got them in here yet
in5: writing fluid + Beatles song **t it be

/
thanks Tyger and Jilli

lol ruru
ruru, back to politics. yes, I am what I said, but I often vote the person, above other considerations
LOL, monk. what a way to put it
ty monkey -- cute clue :D
not sure about that monkey
son is that way, too. he hates Bill, but just *had* to admire Hillary's hard work, etc
lol LilMonkey
lil was a bit fluid with that clue wasn't she?
may I have a hint for ru 4/7?
Hi {{Jade}}
I finally got the Ten thanks.
ru4/7: opposite of misbehaving - ends in hi valu letter
same 3 letters and the measurement stick and sometimes vowel
Hi Red
quite unexpected, wasn't it, turtle?
Hi mom! {mom}
don't be unrul7 or you will be arrested
Not a Hillary Fan, but thats sort of a moot point for now.
Hi Mom!!!
I can respect 'hard work' but that doesnt change the fact that her hard work works in directions different than the beliefs desired
unru** is misbehaving so ru** must be good as gold
don't want to get into extended political discussion. I had more than enough of that last nite
must be. I really need to change my icon at least for tomrooo.
Red, I thought about you last night when one of the cable channels was showing a map of cell phone towers in the Orlando area where that little Callie Anthony has disappeared. Is that near you?
Yes, it is pretty near, all over the news all the time...
I can only imagine. I wish the mother would just tell the truth as to what happened
Fireworks!
congrats Jellen
I agree Mom, something happened that she knows about but she doesnt seem to want to tell.
yay jellen
woohooo Jell congrats, Hello everyone
gj Jellen
yay, jellen
{{Meliae}} hello
Hi, Jade!
Hi, mel!
I guess eventually she will slip up and spill the beans
:D
((HUGS)) the room hi everyone back for my last 32
I think its one of those thing s that isnt going away.
there isn't a candidate on either side of the border that i trust as far as i can throw a buick. mccain is a geriatric nutter seconded by a religious flake, obama is mostly puffery and sonorous voice. in our race above the 49th we have the odious stephen harper, lapdog of failed president bush vs. milquetoast stephane dion. it all makes me tired and anxious. the age of statesmen is over and we are left with little more than shallow ideologues. alas.
hey, mel
le 5/12 please?
Fireworks for Tim too, btw.
le5/12: someone with Hansen's disease
congrats to Tim as well. How is he doing, Jellen? (if I may ask)
con grats Tim!!!!
bonkler, thats why Im voting for Barr I think ;)
le5 = skin diseased person
doh ~ ducks fro mflying fish~
Tim's fine. We go to the oncologist next Monday.
barr? not roseanne i hope lol
Bob Barr.. the Libertarian candidate
I hope it all turns out just fine, Jellen
Me too, Mom!
son is here, and I want him to dress my leg. don't see Dr until tomorrow, and leg needs attention later, all
positive thoughts and prayers headed in your direction
Bye, tyger
he had the surgery, jellen?
hola!
ah. evidently not receiving much press time in the race. we are inundated with more of the presidential contest than our own parliamentary elections. that's what happens when you park next to a behemoth. ;-)
bye bye Tyger
hey, madi
HI Madi
brb, need a beverage...
Hi, Madi
li 6/24 please?
time to scoot off here and get my bath. See everyone tomorrow. {{Hugs}} and good night
oh, well. maybe I can get more detail from jellen later *poof*
hi bonkler -- love your profile :)
Good Niht Mom.
the press does not like to acknowledge that this country is not a 2party system
night, mom
pleasant dreams Red
pleasant dreams Jade
thanks jilli
and hi madi and bye mom
bye all who are disappearing
the 3rd parties do not like to acknowledge that the press is correct about 2 parties
bye bye Jilli, see you tomorrow
bye Mom ((HUGS))
pleasant dreams Meliae {{hugs}}
Bonkler, can you bring me dinner? I am a good tipper.
what is the press correct about?
it's a long walk from the kitchen red
its warm here, and nearish to the beach...
palm trees sway...
there are 2 major political parties. no 3rd party has made any significant inroads into the political process for over 70 years
Li 6/27 please?
ops LI 6/24 I meant
a police li6.24
america would be a lot better off with a threat to the two entrenched parties from a viable third party. can't see it happening any time soon.
ty Night I thought that was 2 words
there are indeed 2 major parties, but that doesnt mean it has to be... eventually another party will grow and become a major party and that is how major parties happen.
should of tried it lol I looked and said no
agreed bonk
hint on the un8, please?
Maybe it is time for a change, but the press and major parties don't like the idea that maybe their time should come to a close so they are fighting hard more to stay in power than to run this country with any decent sense
un8 - not a round object
un + orb
thanks jellen & ice
cannot find any R word from bottom left corner... help please???
hi, lil - ro 4/4 - to stir up
rh's lilmonkey - poetry
a poem may be a rh***

pe 6/21 please
and ro 5/14 - adjective from same word

Hi Jess, getting ready for project runway!?

or6/24= stubbornly mischievious
or 6/24 - stubborn, difficult
I have or 6/24, an adjective for someone who is grumpy
Did I spell that correctly?
mischievous =D
so this service allows us to click on "deliver once" or "deliver always" if it's something that was blocked in error, but really I now have to actually spend time reading the most obscene subject lines
don't know really, from someone else's contact list, or online somehow
thanks marilu! i have been trying to enter that word all over the place but i had no idea how to spell it! lol
oh and thanks jellen too! just saw ur clue : )
jellen, it's mischievous (since you asked)

My actual birthday was not so great--I worked from 8-7:30 and then was on call. But last night I went to an Italian restaurant with 6 friends for dinner---yummy + many laughs.
I am usually finished the grid by now but not liking this one at all, still 84 words to find
Hi renny
Hi DR!

I don't like the grid either.
Happy belated birthday, Scrabbler!
Hi REd- Good to see you

Hi, DR!
How is everyone?
hi scrabbler
TY, Ren. I am now a very mature 49 yrs old. I will spend the next yr preparing to be 50.

it is impressionists, not umbrellas, tomorro is portraits.
ok Im back.. how dare work interfere with babbling
and being tired of guessing, and have 45 mins left at work, Im going to list with 56 left
I e-mailed Ping, to let us know if she is OK. I just read that some areas of the Texas coast are under mandatory evacuation.
go ice, I am still listless, but probably wont finish.
thanks for update, Scrabs
red, I opened the list at 75 words, now have 31 left - I know I would not finish without it

Wowee, TNC!! Does she like it?

he goes Thurs and I go Fri
Kids that age are hilarious.

Sorry about the appropriateness of my clue JBV.

did she say why, or just because my middle name is in the grid (lu4/9)
is that the man from down under?
She didnt say.

RENNIE!

Question: WHy is it so hard to buy a vacuum
gads, didn't even see THAT "H"!!!
It shouldn't be, herin...
oh no, haha
It is. Any suggestions for a person with a pet
those H's relate to the Card game people, right???
dyson is a great vacuum for pet people!
*sigh* gotta go clean up from my first dinner, and start making the next dinner. Kids and I were carnivores tonight, so I cooked steak. Hubby is strictly vegetarian, so I have to make something else for him before he gets home from work.... *sigh* again.
Um have heard conflicting Dyson Reports
oh crap :(
cya l8r, Natts!
Natts thats kinda sucky
oi...that bites, Natts...
how about having the kids fix his??? ;)
Ewa plus i have this really crap carpet and the fur sticks to it
true... but I don't cook for the "kids" usually (baby is 17 years old, for crying out loud). Tonight I got a hug for broiling a few steaks.
17??? Heck, I'd have the kidlets be creative!!! ;)
That's what my "return home" kid is doing right now!!
and the only reason I did it was because I was craving meat... Usually I don't even eat dinner.
They fend for themselves, mostly. Hubby, not so much.
yeah.. well i don't know much about them at all, but my dog trashed our carpet when we first got her because of her fur and i thought it would never be better, but my parents got a dyson and it works wonders for us! haha
Well im going to go and try and work out what to wear since its meant to be 20C and its currently 8c
speaking of dinner...she's just served!!!! (spaghetti with clam sauce and steamed broccoli/cabbage)...MMmmmm
i surrender! please please someone clue me the in words!! i have tried all the possible combos

jack - new grid daily at midnight central time US
oh okay thanks!
doesn't hurt to practice
good aide is lickety

asg just clued it - it was her last
thanks for sticking around kje, palin er nDan, meanPini
what does it mean when someone says pu6/30. i get the pu6 part, but not the 30 part
mean?
moi?
what'd I do?!?!?!
it's OK, I'm watching Obama anyway
ok thanks
and goooooo dr!
not that I wouldn't have hung around just for you, of course
pts are (# tiles - 3) x (sum of tile values)
I think the caricature guy at the farmer's market could do a good Obama
head off to the side...
everyone can do obama... he has thse sharp features
did you get it DR?
so that is 6 letters, whose tiles add to 10 then mult by 6-3 or 3 for 30
I think I really heart Obama
