Saddy you need to resize your image its too big

3:10 am

ricochet phantom

Cold

3:11 am

hmmm ok... wait

3:11 am

hmmm no idea Mac =(

3:14 am

Morning all.It`s one of those mornings when I`m words down as I do jobs,then come to the keyboard and add to the list.Apologies for my apparent rudeness.A+ se6=as7.

3:14 am

is that ok

3:15 am

doh thank you Mac

3:15 am

lovely, Saddy! She is a beauty!

3:15 am

Have you got se6?

3:15 am

hi macadam :)

I still ahve half of here.

I still ahve half of her.

3:16 am

yes I had it thank you

3:16 am

Oh Sprite.I`m so glad to see you.Is everything getting better?

There she is oh she is so cute

3:17 am

is perfect now, Saddy

3:18 am

try refreshing m'lady

3:18 am

slowly, macadam. The assessment for the disability benefit is done and went ok, chances are good that I will get full benefit. Recovering from the excess stress of late. Caya is very slowly getting better too. Still very tired, I think it is going to take at least another week before she wil start being active again.

3:20 am

hey i wonder if you all can help me, is it safe for me to take allergy medicatrion while im breastfeeding

I did she is so cute.

3:20 am

I don't think so, Saddy. Best you can do is ask your pharmacist. They will know.

Saddy what does the back of teh bottle say>? If not google the name

3:21 am

At last things are loooking up for you.It feels like an eternity hearing your troubles so it must have been dreadful for you.My thoughts have been with you even when \i wasn`t playing.Perhaps you and Caya can recover now.

3:21 am

sc 6/24 anyone?

3:21 am

thanks macadam. The support of all my babble friends has really made a difference. *hug*

3:22 am

((((hugs )))))to you too.

Sprite i am glad the upside is starting to come out for you. Hi Maca too

3:23 am

sorry no, I only have a 6/27

3:24 am

thanks lady :) Let's wait for the definite decision, I still need to talk to the employment expert. And even if that goes well, I will be re-assessed in 6 to 12 months. But I am ready to kill for 6 - 12 months of peace!

3:25 am

sc6/24 - sc plus an old English word meaning to 'pay attention - or a phonetic rendering of the sound the snake made.

ANd it makes your finances a bit more definate to Sprite

3:26 am

indeed so, lady. Knowing what I get and what I don't get will give me some peace of mind. And a full benefit means I will not lose much income.

3:26 am

thank you Haz

3:26 am

Hi lady and Haz.

3:26 am

fireworks

3:26 am

since my employer already cut my pay for 30% a year ago.

3:35 am

th 8, 8 , and 9 kililng me I should just give up and work on this tommorow

3:35 am

Judging by the amount of cars, it was a popular event. Hello Haz.

3:36 am

then do so, mel, don't torture yourself. The grid will be here tomorrow as well.

3:36 am

th9 - think of those who think deep thoughts and who publish them

3:36 am

Good morning FMitch - is the weather dreich there as well?

3:37 am

3:37 am

3:38 am

Good morning Lori.

3:38 am

Smug will have to be shared around.

3:38 am

5 words from that bottom e. Ack

3:38 am

lol fm thank you got all 3 was overlooking the double vowel words at the start

3:39 am

4 are nomal and one does not exist Lori

3:40 am

I don't think Ata Hari is going to willingly share her smug-osity.

3:40 am

Smugalante, in spite of her name, is very good at sharing.

3:41 am

lol, Thanks FM!

3:41 am

are those th biggies normal words?

3:41 am

yes sprite

3:41 am

Absolutely, sprite. Think Darwin, Newton and Ata's grandfather, Einstein.

3:42 am

thanks, I am probably on a very wrong track here :)

3:42 am

would never have thought I'd say it, but I'd like a K.

3:42 am

*faints*

3:43 am

lolol, there's a sentence I thought I'd never see.....

3:43 am

*carefully helps FM up* Sorry, shouldn't have dropped that so carelessly...

3:46 am

there they are. Was barking up the wrong tree indeed, looking for think and thought. Thanks all :)

3:46 am

lol sprite

3:47 am

yay!

3:48 am

have you been drinking sprite? LOL

3:48 am

I have hit thel wall at 27 left. sigh.

3:48 am

lol mel, at 10.48 am? Not me. I don't need alcohol to be crazy.

3:48 am

Good grid today though

3:48 am

that number has been called before by others, FM. Seems it is a common brick wall.

3:49 am

yay fireworks, what a nasty little grid

3:49 am

wtg mel!

3:49 am

Congratulations meliae!

3:50 am

Congrats meli

3:50 am

I love the grid so far, but I am just over halfway

3:50 am

3:51 am

3:51 am

*grin*

3:54 am

tri sd

3:54 am

Glad to see the grid have a real fish in it

3:54 am

3:55 am

3:56 am

mmm one of my favourites

3:57 am

sorry

3:57 am

don't say sorry, I like it, I can see you now :) *hug*

3:59 am

A sighting of the very rare marigold and on a day when sprites wants a K!! I can't handle this :)

3:59 am

I've decided that hand sewing is quite the most delightful occupation.

3:59 am

poor FM *evil grin*

3:59 am

is it, Haz?

4:00 am

brb fixing icon

4:00 am

*runs screaming from the log ... the world has gone mad!!!!***

4:00 am

Anyone have the 1st 2 letters of the other 8? Please and Thank You in advance.

4:00 am

I'm just seeing if that will finish her off. All we need is Lori talking about housework in glowing terms.

4:00 am

pa8

4:01 am

pa, Lori

4:01 am

Thanks Haz, sprite

4:01 am

I think that did it, Haz.

4:01 am

You're welcome.

4:01 am

yw Lori

4:01 am

Sorry haz, I love a good needling, but that would be taking it too far, even in jest.....

4:02 am

***housework is the root of all evil***

4:02 am

Even a fond reference to how nice it is to dust once in a while?

4:02 am

or how much you enjoy looking at your room once you are done dusting?

4:03 am

Dust ?

4:03 am

*opens meds cupboard and grabs bottles, then scurries off to hidey cupboard for sanctuary*

4:03 am

Dusting ? ***You ladies speak Babel***

4:03 am

...in the wind.... all we are is...

4:03 am

The fluffy grey stuff that holds conventions in corners.

4:04 am

the last E from the bottom is to cut out.

4:05 am

*hands FM a flashlight, so she can read the labels and won't goof up*

4:05 am

*pets dust bunnies in hidey *hole

4:06 am

Or, another 8 letter ex word, minus the er, another thing I refuse to do besides housework... :-)

4:06 am

ok icon updated I just love that poem and have it famed on my bedroom wall

4:07 am

But Lori, you can get people to do it for you by proxy. As Green is doing a really good workout everyday for me.

4:07 am

clue for the ex6/36 please, pretty please....

4:07 am

ex6 - it's what you're doing, beseeching, pleading.

4:07 am

We clued them below fm.....

4:08 am

great one, mel

4:08 am

Haz, I like it! Sub contracting. :)

4:08 am

got the 6/7 ex it's the first one.... scrolls back

4:08 am

Or ex6/36 - to surgically remove, like what the customs men do at airports with smuggled goods.

4:08 am

Great poem meli

4:09 am

that is the one I meant, Haz. To cut out.

4:09 am

The clue being with the customs and ex5/36

4:09 am

I already have a big red hat sometimes when my kids come to visit and we are going to the store or somewhere I put it on and tease them that I am going to wear it shopping lol

4:09 am

Ack. We've had that stoopid pa before. Ack

4:10 am

lovely, mel! Be sure to do so one day!

4:10 am

lol meli.

4:13 am

I ahve found the grand total of 2 words in 1/2 an hour and am traumatised by you lot! *giggle*

4:13 am

Think it might be time to take a break and go enjoy the outside world

4:13 am

Good morning everyone.... just had to pop in and share my news !!! I got a new grandson this morning !!!

4:14 am

Congratulations Karys!

4:14 am

4:15 am

4:16 am

4:16 am

Enjoy him Karys. :)

4:16 am

Jamie is a fine name. And 8.8 is a good weight. You've done well, Karys.

4:16 am

Granny Ksrys :)

4:17 am

It is very exciting, this is my daughter's first baby, and it is different when it's your own daughter !

4:17 am

This time I'm to be a Nan Mitch !

4:17 am

No wonder your cat is grinning extra hard this morning!

4:18 am

lol Haz positively beaming!

4:18 am

what is the difference between a granny and a nan?

4:18 am

I should have been on holiday, but we were caught up in this current collapse .

4:18 am

has anyone used those frozen phylo pastry sheets before? I cooked up some apples and am going to stuff it into the sheets and bake them into turn overs, I am wondring how much they expand when they are cooked

4:18 am

Just the name, sprite. They both come with lashings of love.

4:19 am

Just the name sprite, I am Grandma to two of my grandsons, and Nan to the others.

4:19 am

ok, thanks Karys and Haz :)

4:19 am

Filo pastry doesn't puff, puff pastry puffs.

4:19 am

ok fm I wasnt sure thank you

4:20 am

Right, have to go and purchase the neccessary Nan things for baby now... back later.

4:20 am

I was just not into making my own so I cheated and got storebought I usually make my own but all that folding and addign butter and rolling out takes so long

4:20 am

See you Karys, and congratulations again.

4:20 am

enjoy, Karys!

4:20 am

enjoy Karys so much fun buying baby things

4:21 am

Later Nanny Karys. Enjoy!

4:21 am

*hides in Karys's wake and heads out before Kori/Lori can grab me. Back in a while :)

4:22 am

I'm going to be old-fashioned here and declare that I wish babies were dressed as babies and not as cut-down adults. I can't get my head around tiny babies in jeans....

4:22 am

argh, the Cs are ugly.

4:22 am

Darn those Acme made products! Catch ya' later FM. :d

4:22 am

Haz I agree 100% !!!!

4:22 am

Hooray! I'm not alone!

4:23 am

Haz, I agree. We never did. Easy fitting things are so much nicer.

4:23 am

Add my agreement to the old fogeys club.

4:23 am

I see those little kids dressed up like little trollops and I want to just take them home and dress them like babies

4:24 am

I see a campaign happening. I'm glad it's not just me.

4:24 am

let kids be kids. They have to grow up too soon as it is anyway, in this world.

4:24 am

even the little girls ages around 8 dressed like 16 year olds or worse

4:25 am

Gotta say it....I blame the images put in front of them...take Bratz characters for instance..

4:25 am

I know. But if the parents didn't buy it, would the shops stock it?

4:25 am

I cringe when I walk through a Department store, and look'it what people buy for their "little girls". God.

4:25 am

Bratz - the name says it all. They're grotesque.

4:26 am

It's like a sprint to strip them of their childhood.

4:26 am

Caya had this class mate. Walked on really high heels, in net stockings and low cut blouse at 7 yo. It worried me.

4:26 am

What confuses me is that people are ultra-suspicious of paedophilia, yet dress their children completely inappropriately.

4:26 am

Yes I agree, but young girls are bombarded with them, theres colouring books dolls cartoons, the list goes on

4:26 am

oh brats are not allowed in either of my kids house thank goodness for that, but some of the stuff my granddaughters try to wear is shocking, thankkfully my son and son inlaw both have strong morals and do not want their daughters dressing like that

4:27 am

I know, spanner, but parents have to be the grown-ups and say NO.

4:27 am

nothing wrong with strong morals, imo.

4:27 am

good day all

4:27 am

hi carlee and spanner

4:27 am

I was astounded when my niece was sent home from school for wearing make up. Astounded cause shes only 7

4:27 am

It's called being responsible. But that could never work.

4:28 am

Although, there's a strong rumour that saying NO to children is considered unconstitutional or cruel or something. How I've escaped prison is beyond me.

4:28 am

Morning spanner, carlee.

4:28 am

Make up at 7? Good grief.

4:28 am

well I think the schools should be more critical of how the kids dress as well, we had dress codes when I went to school

4:28 am

Ha we didnt have all the Human rights laws then Haz..

4:28 am

saying NO to children is giving them limits, security and love.

4:29 am

yeap..my daughter 12.....I let her on SPECIAL dress up occasions to wear lipgloss

4:29 am

Probably just as well, spanner. I'd have been risking my liberty every time I raised my voice.

4:29 am

I know kids will sneak and change before they get to school if the schools would back up the parents more it would help

4:29 am

meliae - sadly it's often the case that the parents back the children, rather than the school.

4:30 am

not that bad now, Haz. Our kids are 12 and 10 and we have always limited them where we thought we should.

4:30 am

if I had to riase a child now days I would be in the slammer for sure, my kids got spankings, and were grounded all that stuff, now days you can go to jail for spanking them

4:30 am

Teachers are pretty powerless to be frank

4:30 am

Its one of the reasons I left the job...

4:31 am

well, we don't spank. But grounding, yes. And rules are rules.

4:31 am

Parents are all too willing to give their little darlin's an out. A great disservice.

4:31 am

well its not the teachers that set the rules its the school board

4:31 am

They're powerless because (a) lots of parents don't back them up and (b) the government has removed any effective deterrent or punishment.

4:31 am

Last year, the Supreme Court reaffirmed our right to spank meliaie.

4:31 am

parents and teachers must work together. We do and we are very happy with the schools we chose for our children.

4:32 am

well my spanking consisted of a little swat on the butt, and my daughter never got one all I had to do was look at her and I she would dissolve into tears, if she had been bad

4:32 am

true Haz, but I worked in real tough schools, and it made a hard job impossible, especially when there was no parental involvement

4:32 am

my son well he had his fair share of swats LOL

4:32 am

A swat on the butt never hurt anyone. Nothing like a good spanking argument to liven things up though! :p

4:33 am

yep it takes the backing of the parents

4:33 am

It must have been incredibly difficult, spanner and so frustrating when all that potential is just wasted.

4:33 am

Is your son duly traumatized and damaged for life meliae?

4:33 am

hello Babblers

4:33 am

Ive just remembered why I love this game ...its the company I keep LOL

4:33 am

hi lobo *hug*

4:33 am

Hello Sprite

4:33 am

G'd morning lore!

4:33 am

hello again Lore

4:33 am

beautiful icon, lobo

4:34 am

Mel have you not finished yet

4:34 am

cant beat yours sprite

4:34 am

We spanked our girls if the occasion arose, but it wasn't an everyday occurrence and it wasn't the only method of punishment. They seem to have survived.

4:34 am

:) She is beautiful,isn't she, lobo

4:34 am

got all the reticulation up and running planted vegies and got the washing in

4:35 am

pity shes gone to bed but she did make a comment earlier

4:35 am

wow, great going, lobo. I have installed my little girl on the co5, got her breakfast and lots of cuddles, and am about to finish the grid. Not as productive as you are!

4:35 am

My all survived the odd swat too....and believe it or not are all well adjusted citizens!!!

4:36 am

she emailed me, lobo. It hit home and I am glad.

4:36 am

Shirley not spanner!

4:36 am

Well, that's the cat set amongst the pigeons again (babies should be dressed as babies started it) but I really should be getting on with (hide your eyes Kori/Lori) the housework. Back later!

4:36 am

Yup...but its difficult to believe

4:37 am

bye Haz, good luck with those.

4:37 am

That h word, it burns mine eyes. Laters Haz.

4:37 am

yes Lore I finished just hanging out and chatting until 3 am meds and waiting for the filo dough to thaw and the apple pie mix I made to cool

4:37 am

Toodle-pip!

4:37 am

and fireworks

8:28 am

I might have spelled her last name incorrectly

8:28 am

hi annie, i went to turn in my timecard

8:28 am

*thinks about elaines*

8:29 am

i dunno, i can't think of any elaines

8:29 am

8:31 am

ah, thank you, got it immediately...the 9, that is

8:32 am

Hi everyone - I am curious. How much time per day do each of you spend here? No condemnation - I am on the computer almost all day - off and on - just curious if anyone is as SLOW as I am.

8:33 am

1j2u, I spend most of the morning here plodding along

8:34 am

I just bought a laptop and have it near my laundry room and plan on spending most of the morning ... plodding along too!

8:34 am

Hi Annie, there are 2 x th8 related to the 9 too :)

8:34 am

proper name.....millionare family who has their name on hospital buildings....ti***

8:34 am

Hi FM

8:34 am

i usually spend around 1 hour per 100 words, but sometimes i stay to chat more and clue.

8:34 am

Hi everyone! I rarely finish a puzzle - keep the page on all day at work and pop in and out as I have a minute.

8:35 am

If I EVER finished a board I would probably hand a banner outside my house

8:36 am

lol judy

8:36 am

Today's puzzle seems a bit difficult.

I find I can usually finish with the list, but haven't yet done it without.

8:37 am

I dont use the list so I rarely finish

8:37 am

Its not too bad today but the ch's were hellish

hi Bea -- I think so, especially now I've got the easy ones out of the way

8:37 am

hi bzzn

8:38 am

i have 11 of those, FM, how many are there?

8:39 am

I like the ch 6/30....ch* and repeat

8:40 am

helllo

8:46 am

8:47 am

ok, so i'm kind of dumb. pass the fish.

8:47 am

8:47 am

That's the one I've got.

8:48 am

8:48 am

TY, hursh.

8:49 am

8:49 am

lol

8:50 am

Good afternoon all.

8:50 am

Or, good morning for those across the ocean.

can't believe afro isn't a word...

8:51 am

Hey, haz.

8:51 am

Hello Haz

8:51 am

hi all

8:51 am

ocean ocean ocean ocean

8:52 am

Hello there. Afro isn't a word because it's capitalised.

well, sure, but so are tons of other words that show up in enable...

8:53 am

good morning/afternoon everyone

8:53 am

is afro capitalized when it means the haircut?

for example the french capital that's in the puzzle today

8:53 am

hi westford

8:53 am

But they're not accepted in babble if they're capitalised.

theoretically...

8:53 am

Finally got the nine that was clued 20 minutes aga. <sigh>

8:55 am

and for anyone who hasnt got the th8 8 9 study varina's last post!

8:55 am

The French capital appears, I think, because of its association with plaster, when it isn't capitalised. I could be wrong, but don't tell my daughters. I've trained them to believe that I'm always right.

8:55 am

oh, did i remember to say hello?

8:55 am

Hey, harp.

8:55 am

Hi harp :)

8:55 am

right, haz, and when afro means the hair, it's not capitalized.

8:56 am

how many letters is the lone h?

8:56 am

hi boo and harp

8:56 am

he4/6, harp

8:56 am

hello, all!

8:57 am

Hey, uni and west.

8:57 am

Afro is capitalised in my dictionary.

8:57 am

thanks

8:57 am

Even referring to the hairstyle.

8:57 am

westford, did you get the earlier message from Jac? her recipe's in her profile

8:58 am

hi harp and Buzz

8:58 am

no I didn't thanks for letting me know

8:58 am

oooh a recipe? for what?

8:58 am

yw ;-)

8:58 am

my dictionary said both are acceptable, capitalized and not

8:58 am

sweet and sour sauce

8:58 am

I concede, but babble doesn't.

8:58 am

my dictionary mocked me for asking

8:59 am

yes, i know that there's no convincing enable.

8:59 am

and cherry sauce, and apple and cranberry sauce yum!

9:00 am

not that I copied and pasted the recipes to a file of course!

9:00 am

:-D

9:01 am

ok, 50 to go . . . no list yet . . . gotta run . . . enjoy your day/evening, all!

9:11 am

or at least one?

9:11 am

chex

9:11 am

Oh for Pete's sake.....

9:12 am

No - one is to do with cutting out surgically, the others are kind of pleading or encouraging words.

9:13 am

ex6/36 - to cut out, ex6/36 - to encourage, plead with, ex7, encourages in a speechmaking kind of way.

I need to make myself do all sorts of little useful things, but I just don't FEEEEEL like it!

9:32 am

LOL! thank goodness Haz didn't see me being so unladylike!

9:33 am

Right, because Haz's world would crumble if she realized that you could possibly be unladylike.

9:33 am

I'll come over and be your Pa for a day if you like.

9:33 am

(That time I was not being sincere.)

9:34 am

thanks vic

9:49 am

Hello again. My internet decided to be uncooperative for a while.

9:49 am

Hello, Haz! You show that internet who's boss!

9:50 am

Hello, pugmama, reparteena, harpjane, flosey...

9:50 am

Absolutely!

9:50 am

Although I'm seeing that being offline preserved me from seeing FMitch being unladylike.

9:50 am

jey vicuna

9:51 am

Indeed. Your computer was operating for your own protection.

9:51 am

So it seems. I feel bad about kicking it now.

9:51 am

I said hello, then my phone rang....sorry

9:52 am

Some things are just too horrifying for a lady of such refinement and delicate breeding as yourself. It is best if you are not exposed to such horrors at all.

9:52 am

I'm writing this down so that I can use it on my CV. Refinement and delicate breeding.... You know me so well!

9:53 am

AsGreen, you're supposed to wait for your phone to ring, THEN pick it up, and THEN say hello. Seems like you're a little confused about the order there.

9:53 am

lol Vic...

9:54 am

Well, it takes a true lady to know one, Haz.

9:54 am

Birds of a feather flock together and all that?

Hey folks. Just on for a couple minutes to unwind after work. Phantom: excoriate

9:55 am

Exactly. And some of them are on our heads.

9:55 am

hi MG!

9:55 am

My phantoms today are tourists and choristers.

9:55 am

And some of us have two heads, all the better for the wearing of birds.

9:55 am

Hello, MonkeyGames.

9:56 am

Good point. We forgot to suggest to FM that she might accomodate an extra fowl!

And chariot.

9:56 am

I think hoho should be a word...

9:57 am

Start it with a c instead, As.

Have a Pretty Upset Boy here. He is trying to understand why his very good friend, our dog, would chew up his prized orange-plastic-lid-for=something-no-lo nger-with-us. Sigh.

9:57 am

lol - thanks haz!

Then add three letters for a 6.

9:58 am

Sounds like the dog loved not wisely but too well.

Hee, hee! I don't think I can use that to make him feel better...

9:58 am

You're welcome - keep going to get a Roman division of soldiers and plural.

9:58 am

(checks MG's math: 2 letters for a 6, 3 letters for a 7.)

He has said that he is no longer mad at her, just unghappy about the lid and wondering why there can be such injustice in the world.

Yes, two. Sorry. My math sucks.

10:00 am

Tell him that a provident creation assures us that there will be other lids.

10:01 am

I have indeed imparted similar knowledge. Adn reminded him that old scuffed plastic lids pale in comparison to Birthday Presents, which shall appear as from nowhere on Thursday.

10:02 am

And shall appear as from party guests on Saturday.

10:02 am

ok, FINALLY off the phone

10:02 am

what a day - wall street collapsing.... I live in a BIG wall street town

These two days bracketing his first day of school. Can't blame the little guy for being a bit emotionally kwetsbaar right now.

10:03 am

Let us hope that time and birthday gifts will blunt the edges of his grief.

10:03 am

It's scary, As, especially when I don't understand the half of what is going on.

10:03 am

Phantom: parsec

10:04 am

The scariest part, Haz, is that neither do any of the experts and professionals involved!

10:04 am

Looks like the Backyardigans is already easing his pain.

10:04 am

this grid is crawling with ohantoms

10:05 am

That should make me feel better, Vicuna, but it doesn't.

10:05 am

Haz - it's a DARK day here in Summit, NJ - and interesting (similar to 9/11) it's a BEAUTIFUL day here - not to say that loss of work is as bad as loss of life, but very similar pall around my neighborhood

10:05 am

hi monkey what is upsetting Walter?

10:05 am

west - hi - hmmmm, I have a message for you .... what was that again?

10:05 am

Saskia chewed up his plastic lid to something no longer with us.

10:05 am

I know, As. What appears to me as economic theory becomes economic reality for millions.

10:06 am

oh dear his favorite?

10:06 am

oh, yeah, Jac has a cranberry recipe for you... in her profile, leaving it "on" even though not here

10:06 am

hi...why isn't the hairdo word any good?

10:06 am

torch,crotch,ostrich,artistic and many more ! phantom jamboree!

10:06 am

Well, folks, time for me to wander off in the aimless and unenthusiastic direction of housework or something. Bye for now!

10:06 am

phaeton, because it's capitalised, possibly.

10:06 am

bye Vic - hagd!

10:07 am

bye vi try to find fun and joy

10:07 am

could I please have a clue for as7?

10:07 am

Still think we should do a poetry-with-the-phantoms contest.

10:07 am

bye vic

10:07 am

Unenthusiastic about housework? How can this be?

10:07 am

there's an as? lol

10:07 am

West, it was one he found at the bottom a toy chest the other day and remembered was truly glorious.

10:07 am

isn't astro a word?

10:07 am

It was orange; that is the key to liking an object.

10:07 am

as7 - free from germs

10:08 am

afro isn't capitalized when ever i use it and it's in crossword puzzles

10:08 am

and the dog ate it?

10:08 am

thanks Haz

10:08 am

phaeton - we've had this debate before. Afro- referring to African is capitalised mostly and it must be so in enable, therefore babble won't take it.

10:09 am

oooh, got the as, and the se from that - tx haz

10:09 am

haz, btw, I just got back from boot camp

10:09 am

When I say had the debate before, it was earlier in the chat log with others, not with you.

10:09 am

To bits. She was alone all day. I thought I dog-proofed well enough, but it seems not. Good lesson in putting toys away, and not as bad as when Dora and Diego both lost their legs... he'll forget all about it when the birthday presents come out Thursday.

10:09 am

Good girl, As. I feel toned - all thanks to you!

10:10 am

Haz, we're really tightening up... :)

10:10 am

since it was at the bottom of the toybox he must have been saving it for a special day

10:10 am

It's great. I can recommend this exercise by proxy. No sweat or anything.

10:10 am

So it would seem.

10:10 am

west - did you see my message from Jac?

10:11 am

no as but une told me she put her recipe in

10:11 am

OK, must off to clean the entryway, relent to the cat's demands, and get water heating for the pierogis! Have fun all, back with you sporadically!

10:11 am

I keep going in and out even had a message to contact Dr god

10:12 am

enjoy MG

10:12 am

bye monkey better go shopping for a replacement orange lid too

10:12 am

oh, well, that was the message!

10:12 am

mmmmm, pierogis....

10:12 am

can I get to her bio if she's not here?

10:13 am

Yes, westford. Go to rankings, do control F to find her and her profile should show up.

10:13 am

y, she said she was leaving herself "on" - so look in the who's online tab and click on her bio

10:13 am

Or even better, do as As says.

10:13 am

thanks I was hoping there would be a way

10:14 am

lol - or do as Haz suggests

10:14 am

Ok, thanks Haz

10:14 am

No, As's way is better - more direct.

10:14 am

clue for an i? any i?

10:15 am

it4 - hard to resist scratching

10:15 am

ic5/14 - run together German I and the beginnings of an equine

10:15 am

thx Haz - again!

10:15 am

ic6/24 - as before and keep going with the equine.

10:15 am

great ic clue too

10:15 am

i's are gray!

10:16 am

she's not there..I'll catch up with her later

10:16 am

Well done!

10:17 am

three more p's and I grey out the left column!

10:17 am

our old cat is shedding more than usual is there something we can add to her food?

10:18 am

I know sometimes people add a little cooking oil to dogs' food, I'm not sure if the same trick works with cats.

10:18 am

95 in, 94 left...... at least one from every tile... I think I'll head to thelist

10:18 am

I thought I might try that

10:18 am

Ohh As - I'm at exactly the same point!!

10:19 am

fish oil for the kitty

10:19 am

go cad go!! and hi stranger!

10:19 am

:) Hi!

10:19 am

although could be a vitamin deficiency causing heavy shedding

10:19 am

I take fish oil capsules I'll share them with her

10:20 am

are you opening the list?

10:20 am

she's 18 and sleeps most of the time

10:20 am

Probably not yet - maybe later today -

10:21 am

That sounds like most teenagers, westford.

10:21 am

could just be old age too dear .body not working as efficiently

10:21 am

I'm monkeying odd words now

10:21 am

ME too - gotta pop out for a bit and do some work... BBL

10:22 am

ou6 & 7 pls?

10:23 am

ou6 and 7 - what the champion boxer does to his opponent

10:23 am

it is that pug we just try to cater to her every whim and keep her comfortable

10:23 am

haz, you are #1 cluer

10:23 am

lol haz immediately thought of dogs

10:24 am

Why, thank you, As.

10:24 am

10:24 am

ty Haz those compound words get me all the time

10:24 am

afro

10:24 am

nope - lol

10:24 am

You're welcome, Mary.

10:25 am

they do make vit supplements especially for kittys too (liquid of course)

10:25 am

oops - sorry folks!!

10:25 am

the vet gave us special food but she didn't like it

10:26 am

It's no problem, Denny.

10:26 am

so, where's kje today?

10:26 am

Just like a cat, westford. They're fussy creatures, aren't they?

10:26 am

maybe if you mix the fish oil into it she will like it?

10:27 am

they know what they like and it is usually what we don't have

10:27 am

Or maybe a little caviar? Wouldn't that be the limit!

10:28 am

caviar yes she'd like that hah!

10:28 am

good old sardines much cheaper!

hhi, all!

10:29 am

hi TO

10:29 am

that's a thought pug

10:29 am

She'd be able to boast to her cat friends 'I've got Westford buying me caviar'.

10:29 am

Hello TO!

10:30 am

she and the other 2 younger cats get gourmet cat food as it is Fancy Feast

10:30 am

spoiled babies! (like mine)

10:31 am

don't know how that happened lol

i have changed my icon to something a bit more upbeat.

10:31 am

my dogs wont eat any less than lamb & rice

10:31 am

and even turn their noses up at many types of doggie treats

10:31 am

An icon that appeals on more than one level, TO.

there's more. i can do a miniseries...

10:33 am

thanks for the suggestions I'm off to do something less fun

10:34 am

It sounds appealing, TO.

10:34 am

Bye westford.

10:35 am

10:43 am

It's a nice feeling when you do, isn't it?

phantom: pistachio

10:45 am

its crazy how often I'll find 7's 8's etc right off the bat then struggle with the little 5's etc

also exorcist

and excoriate

10:46 am

I don't understand how one babbler in particular seems to be able to find longer words at the flip, then struggles mightily later on.

10:47 am

mysterys of the mind(or just fibbing to try to impress the rest of us

10:47 am

I actually think I know to whom you refer & suspect that is the case

i was on at flip last night. i am dragging.

10:47 am

LOL - girls....

10:48 am

I don't know. I'm pleading the Fifth.

10:48 am

I think the person in question uses morewords to find them

hey ia was on yesteday late and was there a dustup re cluing?

10:48 am

oh puleeez! it never crossed your mind haz?

sorry clueing

10:49 am

pugmama - you really don't want to know the state of my mind sometimes.

10:49 am

not sure what you mean TO

10:49 am

scary huh haz?

10:49 am

I want to transpose the t and r so I can have patriot...

10:50 am

hello all

it seems i came in just after something happened. ooh my monkeys are loving this grid.

10:50 am

Scary is right. I could kill sometimes.

10:50 am

help with bottom H please

10:50 am

this grid is crawling with phantoms

10:50 am

I left early last night, so don't know

10:50 am

hi peri

hi peri! peri do you want to go to a feast in south philly on sunday next?

10:50 am

don't have it , peri, but would accept help too!

10:50 am

There wasn't a dustup, more a discussion about different styles of clueing and the merits and demerits of spoonfeeding.

10:50 am

ok, now I'm really laeving - 49 left - bbl

10:50 am

what kind of feast, TO

10:51 am

ooh -- I agree with that one, haz -- hate to see clues that in effect give the first 4 letters!

10:51 am

Peri - Hell **** no fury change 2nd vowel

italian feast for St. Pio.

10:51 am

oh yes that discussion!

10:51 am

another bablet -- ty denny

10:52 am

thanks Denny

10:52 am

how much is it, TO?

peri, only costs to eat that yummy italian market food.

10:52 am

I think I prefer clues like you do them haz.. you have to think to get them...hatespoonfeeding in general..

10:52 am

I read the discussion afterwards, it's always interesting to hear what others think.

10:53 am

ok, I am in TO,. which Sunday is it 9/21 or 9/28?

i just leave when the clues get crazy.

9/21. some of my singles group pals are going.

10:53 am

fortunately when the clues are flying like that I already have those words in general

10:53 am

Thanks, ruru. I've come to the conclusion that you can't please everyone with clues, so just stick to your own style, providing more help if necessary but falling short of the hoops and snakes.

10:54 am

what time, TO

10:54 am

Hello everybody, I'm back from my long weekend and my friend is now married. I believe I'm still hung over, I accumulated $86 of charges to my debit card at taco bell and don't remember going there.

10:54 am

And have you learned your lesson BNL?

10:54 am

hoops and snakes..? sounds pentecostal?

well done, bnl! ;)

10:55 am

has anyone heard from ping, she lives in Houston

10:55 am

Oh, if they could get the snakes to jump through the hoops, it would be miraculous!

10:55 am

blacking out at a fast food restaurant...not a good sign of judgement...

10:55 am

what lesson?! I had a good time

peri, plans are still firming up. i want to go at 11:30 or 12:30. I want to see the procession.

10:56 am

hate the whole snake letter stick letter hook letter and the ever ridiculous "chair letter" thing

10:56 am

ok, may be you could pick me up, TO, we could meet at Target again if that is easier for you

10:56 am

How can it be a good time if you can't remember it? Or is it taken as read that it was great if it's a blank in the memory?

10:56 am

I feel your pain, pugmama.

peri i am either taking pub trans or carpooling.

10:57 am

chain letter?

10:57 am

From everything I remember and photos thereafter I can say I had a good time, and I fed a bunch of hungry people

10:57 am

ok, then, I will figure out a way to get there

10:57 am

silly ruru

no. CHAIR letter.

10:58 am

And were those hungry people known to you beforehand?

ok let's keep in touch then. going to a free concert wed PM a U2 tribute in bensalem.

11:01 am

The kids will soon learn to pick up their toys

11:01 am

Have you tried the stuffed sock toy, Denny?

11:02 am

Spangle used to love playing with a man's sock stuffed with old tights, tied tightlly at the top. It was great for chewing and attacking and killing.

11:03 am

phantom: ricochet

11:03 am

Great idea Haz, but not sure how long it would last with Jack - he has VERY strong teeth!!

ok, gjoing out for a walk. it was (! here yesterday, hopefully a bit more temperate today. later!

11:04 am

phantom: ostrich

lol 91 degrees. too hot.

11:04 am

That's the only problem, you do have to keep an eye to make sure the pup doesn't rip into it too much.

11:04 am

What sort of dog is Jack, Denny?

11:05 am

He's a labradoodle!! 6 months old and already the height of a large lab!!!

11:05 am

Back briefly! Oh no, has ther ebeen another dog/toy disaster?

11:06 am

He sounds fun. Is the hair curly or not?

11:07 am

yes - he's a silver (black and grey) with curly hair that goes very wispy if it's not clipped!! - he looks like he's had a dodgy Kevin Keegan perm!!!

11:07 am

Walter has forgiven Saskia and is over the loss of his orange plastic lid...

11:08 am

Oh, never the Kevin Keegan look!

11:09 am

We are trying to steer clear of the permed mullet, and aiming more for the shaggy bruce forsyth look LOL

11:09 am

That sounds better!

11:09 am

cool totally monkeyed the pa8!

Have to go to get the evening meal under way. Enjoy the grid everyone!

hi Angel, bye bfsog

1:56 pm

hi

Hi for a mo'. Husband went up for a smoke and I have to let glue dry before continuing with th epinata,so here I be.

1:56 pm

hi Sugar, wb Monkey

The eyes and wings are on, anyway, and the back feathered.

All this just to watch a bunch of under-4's bash it apart with sticks...

But you know, I grew up near Mexico; a birthday party without a pinata is just not as much fun.

1:58 pm

they do look like fun

They SURE are. Haven't hit one myself since I was around 11, I guess, but they sure are fun. Walter's going to love it when all teh topys and candy spill out.

OK, seems like the glue is dry enough to flip this thing over and feather the underside! Have fun folks!

2:14 pm

3:00 pm

I'm a little tense myself here, too...

3:00 pm

hi sprite

3:00 pm

cool idea for your icon

3:00 pm

...campus police *parking patrol* made their rounds again - must have a new person on staff...

3:00 pm

...gave me a ticket in a space I've been parking in for THREE friggin' years!

3:00 pm

I just want a straight answer from my consultant... is that asking too much????

3:01 pm

Not at all, kje

3:01 pm

thanks kje :)

3:01 pm

I hate campus parking police pini!!!

3:01 pm

I think workers down the hall can probably hear me pounding on my keyboard!

3:01 pm

they s*ck, Pini

3:01 pm

(sorry to those of you who can hear me, too)

3:01 pm

sprite, is that Jilli's picture?

i wrote an expose in the university newspaper once about the idiocy of the campus parking situation....and got a $250 parking ticket the next day

3:01 pm

I even took them a copy of my permit and they still made me fill out a Petition!!!! UGH!

3:02 pm

LOL josh

3:02 pm

OMG! ouch, josh!

PB, pini. tsk tsk

3:02 pm

how childish of them, josh

3:02 pm

be happy folks, you could be a Lehman Brother....

3:02 pm

*hanging head in shame* I'm going...hrmph

3:03 pm

I would be rich if it wasn't for parking tickets.... the city of Baltimore made a lot of upgrades from revenue from my parking tickets

3:03 pm

I couldn't, AsG

i don't know if the two events were connected - but the ticket i got was one of the stupid things i mentioned in the article

3:03 pm

my BIL is asg

3:03 pm

but he'll just go out on his own now

3:03 pm

kje, what a beautiful lady is that in your icon!

3:04 pm

OK, enough bitching... back to the grid

3:04 pm

TY sprite - I liked the ad campaign... wonderful? or wrinkled?

3:04 pm

I think Pini deserves a free pass for the PB, josh. She had a helluva bad day.

3:05 pm

thanks, sprite! ;)

3:05 pm

ooooh - thanks for pointing that out josh and sprite - I did not have that ou

3:05 pm

it is a good question, kje. I think she is wonderful. I love wrinkles. It is smooth and characterless faces that I don't like.

her bad day gets her the best popsicle in my freezer. i'm already in the PB with her, so if she gets out so do i

3:05 pm

th5 pls????

3:06 pm

3:06 pm

...I swear if they don't get their act together....

3:06 pm

AsGreen: yes it was jillibus in my pic. My tribute to the elderly. When I grow up, I wanna be like jilli.

3:07 pm

3:08 pm

1st ro is name for Catholic liturgical garment

5:12 pm

hurling even

5:13 pm

ok-I'm distracted and need to to cook too! Good luck finishing!! Bye!

5:13 pm

*ouch* that hurt

5:13 pm

yes i know tyger... when a friend of mine traveled to Turkey, lewd men kept holding up a peach at her and asking her how to say it in English.... turns out it is a nasty word in Turksih

5:13 pm

happy cuisine lady green!~!

5:13 pm

*picking flounder bones out of peri's hair*

i hope to travel to turkey this fall - is the weather bad during the winter there?

5:13 pm

:-D

5:14 pm

i have no clue, joshua, just don't ask for any peaches

5:14 pm

went to greece in Nov & it was lovely

depends on what part of the country you visit, josh - it's a pretty big country :)

5:14 pm

imagine the climate is similar

5:14 pm

i think it means pu**y

well, i'm sure if i went into the mountains it would be cold and snowy

i would go to istanbul and probably make my way in from there, obviously

there is a Mediterranean shore, supposed to be quite nice - high mountains, and a high plateau in the middle

5:15 pm

every language has its own strange euphemisms

probably not too much snow. they're in the 30 deg latitude band

but but but, i've seen snow in turkey in the movies.... :)

5:16 pm

in the same Mex dialect as the ch6 the word they use for how we use assh***(jerk,fool)literaly means pubic hair!

yes, but it's not going to be like the Rockies

lemme double check and give you some reference links, okay? BRB

5:18 pm

bbs

that would be a great help, tyger - thanks

ok, last word - the last ch

any clues?

the last ch6

5:21 pm

ch+ we call trolls **B's + vowel

5:22 pm

or ch+ postal abbrev for "Mormon" state + vowel

hmmm, i don't know what we call trolls

ahh, that is the 5 after the 6 that i need

5:23 pm

lasts what you asked for dear the last ch

5:23 pm

ch+ this ** that +2/3 of frozen h2o

yeah, i put the 6 after when i corrected myself

5:23 pm

ok, have 2 sa's, 3sc's, 5 se's, 4 si's, 2sp's, 1 sr and 5 st's, which means I am 3 s's short.. but don't know where to look.. any help?

thanks very much pugmama - that's fiahwoix for me

5:24 pm

wahoo, congrats, joshua!!!!

1 sc, 1 si, and 1 sp, aloyisius

5:25 pm

4 sc's--5 si's-3 sp's

5:25 pm

ah, ty joshua! hunting...

i am here for clues for several minutes before i have to do the things i should have been doing instead of babble

5:25 pm

total I meant of course

5:25 pm

know the feeling josh

5:26 pm

hate when the real world interferes with Babbling dont ya?

back. okay, josh, I'm gonna give you two links. first is to an article on my blog explaining about how latitude affects climate. second is to an old map that shows latitude. I'd say that in the northern part of Turkey you might find the amounts of snow you'd expect

5:26 pm

only an hour before i get kicked out of the library.. dunno if i can finish, but i'll give it a go..

http://tinyurl.com/6gqd8c

http://tinyurl.com/6j8z8m

more recent maps of Turkey that I tried first didn't show latitude clearly

tyvm tyger - i will take a look at these

5:28 pm

gotta go back later

yvw, josh. that post has been up a looong time, and still gets lots of visitors. I've never quite figured it out :)

gonna take a break. back in a bit. I can clue then, if needed

what is the lattitude for tropics? 23 or something?

i took a picture of the sign when i drove across the tropic of capricorn in west australia, i don't remember if it said the lattitude number or not

latitude would be the right way to spell that, wouldn't it

5:33 pm

23° 26' 22" per wikipedia :) oh and hi all

very interesting blog post - tyger - thanks again

hi icepyro

5:38 pm

wb, Bzzn

sorry nut -- but... I thought you were like WAY safe. *worried mama look*

6:43 pm

we are one of the fortunate ones, our electric came back on last night. Many, many are still without power here

6:44 pm

does anyone else know what loredana was talking about?

6:44 pm

I don't follow the themes, Monkey, but I thought she was referring to the theme for tomorrow as being yours

6:44 pm

heh! just spent an hour picking up sticks...and got maybe 1/25th of the yard half cleared

6:45 pm

i guess those trees are what one calls volunteer firewood?

6:45 pm

but Mom, the list doesnt' say that

6:45 pm

wow nut, at least it's exercise, I suppose.

6:45 pm

then I am not sure, Monkey.

6:45 pm

hello

6:45 pm

Hi Harp

6:46 pm

hey harp!

6:47 pm

I wanted to rake and pick up sticks today but it took me from 10:30 until 2 to run three errands. No traffic lights and only WalMart and a Kroger were open for groceries and needed to get ice for my parents who are still without electric.

6:47 pm

Nut, do you have electric?

6:47 pm

i only lost electric for about 2 hours, god bless co-ops

6:48 pm

I am sure of that Nut.

6:48 pm

Wow. I didn't realize it hit Kentucky and Pennsylvania. back after I check the news...

6:49 pm

just the wind hit here

6:49 pm

Stid, this is unheard of for us. But Ike didn't lose his punch like most hurricanes do before they get up to us. We usually get the rain but only the wind this time

6:50 pm

monkey, had to check to make sure. the list is in sprite's profile

6:51 pm

and some wind it was, eh Nutty?

6:51 pm

i'm stuck on the ho5 words, i have "lift" and "dances" and would dearly love a hint for the other two!

6:51 pm

oh i was looking at the icon theme list in Lickety

6:51 pm

7:00 pm

You are just so popular Nutty

7:00 pm

i am so jealous Stid

7:00 pm

down to 100...

7:00 pm

why jealous Mom?

7:01 pm

you found an 8 :)

7:01 pm

56 here

7:01 pm

yeah, more like they're hoping i don't need no help

7:01 pm

because I am a sad, lonely person who was housebound until a couple years ago and played endless wordgames 10 hours a day... and still doesn't even compare to folks like dart and sprite and ... LOL

7:01 pm

I doubt that Nut.

7:02 pm

lol Stid, well I am glad you are not housebound anymore

7:02 pm

positive mom...imagine how they all have their own big messes...only my being atop a hill makes it a little messier

7:02 pm

i dunno mom...we got to see more of her when housebound....but i GUESS for stids sake

7:02 pm

me too Mom! I spent FOUR hours today in middle school, one in 8th grade, one in 7th grade and 2 in sixth grade and it was wonderful.

7:02 pm

and I wouldn't think of you as sad or lonely

7:02 pm

lol Nut

7:03 pm

you know Mom... I was lonely though until Babble came along. *big happy heart for Dr. G and babblonians*

7:03 pm

I bit on the hill it was a mess Nut

7:03 pm

Back at it with44 to go.

7:03 pm

go gramma go!

7:03 pm

with your Stidkids or part of your going back to college?

7:04 pm

go Gramma go

7:04 pm

I had the kids at home for some of those years, but mostly I was housebound for health issues. Going back to college (with a goal of becoming a teacher) is possible now because my health is so much better.

7:05 pm

{{Stid}} I am so glad your health has improved

7:05 pm

((((STUD)))))))

7:06 pm

rofl pam!

7:06 pm

christ, I meant STID

7:06 pm

7:06 pm

LOL, stid. OK, so I am typing-challenged and have a low-lying headache... and I am not sad or lonely, but I am definitely alone....

7:06 pm

*giggle* I know pam... it's a "feature" of my dear Tom's last name. It is mis-spelled and mis-pronounced in SO many ways!

7:07 pm

LOL

7:07 pm

*soothing gentle breezes and calming sounds and nice tea to pam*

7:07 pm

ok kids, pile in the car ... we are going to go visit Pam

7:08 pm

WOW! halfway came and went when I wasn't looking!

7:08 pm

thanks, stid... it's not a migraine, it's barometric/sinus that I am on top of, so I am going to try to watch some football

7:08 pm

thanks, mom

7:08 pm

you're welcome Pam

7:08 pm

ick. I will take sudafed ONLY when I have a headache like that ... I can't stand those

7:09 pm

I didn't take the sudafed--wasn't bothering me in the timeframe I can take sudafed and still sleep... Though, the delayed release has been a goddessend.

7:10 pm

I haven't tried the delayed release version. psis

7:10 pm

and yes, it worked *heading to PB*

7:11 pm

thanks Stid. **putting yummy snacks out**

7:11 pm

and speaking of going to sleep, I need a nap before I drive to Seattle. ardilla's plane doesn't even LAND until 8! *sigh*

7:11 pm

i think i found a good book for everyone to listen to

7:11 pm

http://urlPass.com/3sp8

7:12 pm

but it's my only chance to see her maybe. and i would love to meet her in person

7:12 pm

take care Stid and have a safe drive.

7:12 pm

I can only take the delayed release--the regular gives me agita... why penalty box--what did i miss?

7:12 pm

see you-all later. down to 83 when I come back. IF...

7:12 pm

Why is she stateside, stid--is al well?

Big companies went belly up in the US

7:37 pm

7:37 pm

7:39 pm

Retire? what the heck is that? is that like putting new round rubber things on your vehicle?

witha bottle of canadian mist

W probably lost a bit in investments. but hes not ever been running the country....its Cheny.

7:39 pm

agreed, dorens

7:40 pm

I can't figure out the as jilli asked for? thanks

7:40 pm

the evil twins of D.C.

7:40 pm

or just play babble all day long

7:40 pm

ha ha ha dawg!

has little to do with the pres. has everything to do with corporate greed and recklessness

7:40 pm

a + do you have sewers or a se**** tank

7:40 pm

ha ha ha red, i heard how w was whining because everyone addresses cheney at cabinet meetings and ignores him

7:41 pm

not that W and Cheney would know about corporate recklessness... grrr

Well, i did get a call from FL Hospital in Orlando, nicknamed "The Beast" today for a new job in januray.

7:41 pm

indeed, TO -- can't blame W for this one

7:41 pm

agree, TO. Lehmen's head honcho made 22 mil in bonus last year!

7:41 pm

thanks, dorens!

7:41 pm

exactly owl, had everything to do with too many years republican...we need more balance in control

7:41 pm

the beast, eh?

7:41 pm

yeah, the amount of money those guys make is totally unconscionable

7:41 pm

CEO salaries are obscene

Seems he could have bought the entire co out.

7:41 pm

but the economic policies that allow such practices are another story guys!

Yes, the beast. FLorida, East, the Beast...

7:42 pm

good for you, red!

7:42 pm

Credit needs to be reined in.... and those in danger of defaulting on their cards ought to be able to arrange payment with suspension/decrease in interest payments...

7:42 pm

greedy get greedier, and take bigger risks, and sometimes those risks fail. well they failed big time!

7:42 pm

Will you be going there, red?

7:42 pm

ceo salaries and bonuses are a root of the problem

I really think people just need basic education regarding credit cards.

that's the down side of capitalism. but not to worry, with govt bailing out everyone, we're well on the way to socialism.

I dunno Pam, I interview tomorro. and then I have to find a contract for now...

7:43 pm

that they do, red

7:43 pm

golden parachutes, Nut.

7:43 pm

good lucj, red!

7:43 pm

yeah, or stricter gov't regulations on credit cards....if they can regulate mortgages, then they can do the same to credit cards

7:43 pm

good luck red

7:44 pm

*luck

7:44 pm

they did a real bang up job regulating mortgages!

7:44 pm

ah, but nutty, where is the free trade, and fee will?

7:44 pm

Has everyone done ABC's Match-O-Matic? See http://tinyurl.com/69wu36 -- great stuff

7:44 pm

what is it jilli?

7:45 pm

si 6 clue?

7:45 pm

si6--not bro + *** la la

7:46 pm

si - opp of bro + *** la la

7:46 pm

just go and see, kje -- it's worth it -- see who you would really vote for

7:46 pm

i could go for a little explaining the consequences of all that free trade and will, starting at a young age... a little accountability....

7:46 pm

jinx kje

7:46 pm

i think since the gap between the rich and poor is the greatest its been since the great depression, this means something needs to be fixed. too much attention is being paid to growing profits which don't benefit the worker, and the worker is the one who pours money back into the american market.

7:46 pm

right nut... and it has been evident for quite a while... you have to wonder why they let it get this bad

7:46 pm

what LALA? don't get it ... like ooh la la?

7:47 pm

greed dorens....nothing else but

7:47 pm

try tra, ruru

7:47 pm

like *** la la la la la la la la

7:47 pm

jilli - LOL

7:47 pm

hi, ruru

7:47 pm

***hangs head in shame...***

7:47 pm

I could have just reclued it

I really do feel like people should be able to be responsible to themselves regarding credit cards, I think the balances carried by people are insane. and the things they bought, were usually not groceries.

7:48 pm

if i didn't have the word, ru, I would have thought "fa" not "tra," so don't feel so badly...

7:48 pm

must go -- see y'all about an hour after the flip -- have fun

7:49 pm

true red, but first the cycle needs to be broken, people only know what they are taught

7:49 pm

there have been times I wouldn't have had groceries or heat without credit cards

7:49 pm

ciao, jilli

7:49 pm

hi!

7:49 pm

by jill!

7:49 pm

hi madi how's school this year?

Yes times, but not all the time!

7:49 pm

hi madi!

Hi madi, how is everything going with Band etc!

7:49 pm

agreed, nut, and credit card companies that mail cards and offers to 18-year-olds as they enter school really irk me!

7:49 pm

hi dorens TO red. school is great. but there's istep this week (indiana's standardized testing0

Pam are you a fan of football?

7:52 pm

madi you know you'll do fine... don't stress over those things

7:52 pm

before credit cards, we did without if we couldn't pay. I ALWAYS pay up every month and NEVER pile up a debt -- the interest rates are robbery/usurious. It's just a convenience so I don't have to carry a pile of cash. Nuff sed -- must go.

7:52 pm

yes, red. i am. my name is pam and i am an addict. i like college and pro ball and have been known to go to local high school games in my younger days...

7:53 pm

madi--just breathe deeply and don't worry. you'll do great!

Wow, Pam! I dont quite get football, but I like Basket ball and Hockey.

7:53 pm

I hope you will go to that ABC Match-O-Matic -- fun, and informative :D

7:53 pm

i only use my credit cards if i need it for a discount, and i keep my line of credit for unfortunate necessities....like house work

7:53 pm

I watch those, too, red.

what is it about, jili?

7:55 pm

jilli, i just did the matchomatic...i'm surprised, but i still came out with my candidate of choice.

9:03 pm

Any clues needed in the meantime?

9:03 pm

About an hour with time out to dish up soup ..

9:05 pm

Hi Min!

9:08 pm

Sweet dreams lbd ..

9:08 pm

y/w, Torg. How did I guess?

9:08 pm

Phantom words today are exist, patriot and practice

9:09 pm

I forget those wacky Brit spellings sometimes ..

9:09 pm

One of my phantoms was patriot. I can't remember what the othet 4 were.

9:10 pm

Well, wacky or not, favourite and favourites SHOULD have been allowed in Sunday's grid. Favour was.

9:11 pm

'Scuse me, Jacula, but it was after Jesus was denied th**** by Peter, after being betrayed by Judas, that the cock crowed (Matthew 26)

9:12 pm

I stand corrected.Met. You are right.

9:12 pm

Hey all. Here to clue if needed...

9:13 pm

Hi Bzz.Me, too.

9:13 pm

I'm getting my cookie recipe in for tomorrow.

9:14 pm

What recipe is that then?

9:14 pm

I'm a recipe junkie and have a few in my bio now, plus a holiday report.

9:15 pm

Favorite (or favourite) cookie recipe is the theme tomorrow.

9:15 pm

I'm a recipe junkie too. I am beside myself because since our move last year, I can not find my recipe box my grandma gave me.

9:21 pm

What colour is it?

9:22 pm

May I have a clue for as7, please?

9:22 pm

I can understand that, BZZ.

9:22 pm

Turquoise on the bottom with a white lid.

9:22 pm

a _ what a wound goes when it goes bad, gwen.

9:23 pm

as7 - Some people use a s***** tank instead of a sewer

9:23 pm

Thanks again. 20 left, but bedtime is calling.

9:23 pm

Have you seen it Tor?

9:23 pm

I was trying to be humourous ..

9:24 pm

Going to be with only 20 left is not an option! LOL

9:24 pm

LOL! I know.

9:24 pm

Perhaps you didn't realise it ..

9:24 pm

Torg - I think BZz was, also.

9:25 pm

Maybe it's in the parlour ..

9:25 pm

Not only is it the box I'm missing, but some of my favorite recipes she used to make for me. =(

9:26 pm

Oh dear! Sarcasm doesn't always work, because it's such a personal thing really, is it not?

9:26 pm

It's not in the parlor, or the billiards room or the conservatory...

9:27 pm

BZZ - I wasn't being sarcastic about the loss of recipesd, btw.

9:27 pm

Maybe it's in the cellar?

9:27 pm

i know, Jac.

9:27 pm

r under a rockon the gravelled drive?

9:28 pm

Perhaps in the garden?

9:28 pm

Maybe it fell be hind the cooker ..

9:28 pm

are those snickerdoodles, bzzz?

9:28 pm

It better be in one of the boxes marked "kitchen" in the upstairs bedroom/storage room.

9:29 pm

I had to pu some stuff into storage after a house flood some years ago. I'm stil missing stuff since then.

9:29 pm

Why,yes they are, kje?

9:29 pm

they look good

9:29 pm

: )

9:29 pm

I'm working on the recipe now.

9:29 pm

Mmmm . . snickerdoodles . .

9:29 pm

sorry to hear about your recipe box - I would be upset

9:30 pm

See, everyone loves snickerdoodles. But no one makes them any more.

9:30 pm

Behind the cooker is another world. Someone should write a novel about it. Enter Mr. Partchett.

9:30 pm

Prachett, I meant. He had Alzheimer's now, but is stioll fighting it.

9:31 pm

Thanks, kje. It has to be here somewhere.

9:31 pm

my grandmother gave me her embroidery box before she died... had several little pieces she had made in it and some verses she had written to go with the pieces as gifts.... I lost that during a move somehow and was quite bummed

9:31 pm

Sorry for bad spelling, it's 3.30am ere and I'm getting tired again.

9:32 pm

No prob Jac.

9:32 pm

Why aren't you in bed?

9:32 pm

how interesting that I just popped in for these stories of lost heirlooms- I lost a beautiful ivory and silver box - part of a dresser set - the only thing I had from my grandfather - also lost in a move!

9:32 pm

I dare not say what I think about what storage comapnies might do now.

9:33 pm

I'm not in bed because I am awake, Bzz.

9:33 pm

LOL! Good answer, Jac.

9:33 pm

bummer jbv - moving seems to be dangerous...

9:34 pm

JBV, did someone a company pack and move you/

9:34 pm

I went to bed earlier and had a very lovely bed experience, ut that woke me up again. LOL

9:34 pm

getting sleepy... so off to bed (and it's only 930 here jac!)

9:35 pm

=0

9:35 pm

Men go to sleep and women are enlivened. No wonder the fotball coaches rule no sex before a gane. LOL

9:36 pm

no, unfortunately, BzznBea, I did it all myself - I wrapped fragile items in newspaper and I think it was tossed accidentally in an "empty" box after we unpacked

9:36 pm

While I was whining and fussing about not being able to find my recipe box, while looking through the fifteen boxes lef tin the storage room...

9:36 pm

kje, sleep well. I sometimes go to sleep myself at that time.

9:36 pm

hello i

9:36 pm

My husband came in and said, "maybe you should pack better next time."

9:36 pm

i'm back for my last 43

9:37 pm

Hey, harp.

9:37 pm

Hi Harp.

9:37 pm

oh, that's not very helpful, BzznBea - I reproach myself enough, I certainly wouldn't want someone else criticizing me

9:37 pm

your husband sounds like an arm chair quarterback!

9:38 pm

I told him next time he has me pack to move half way across the country, it better be to a house that has a kitchen, so I can unpack it right away.

9:39 pm

I'd tell him, "here's the take-out menu!"

9:39 pm

we recently redid our upstairs bathroom, and of course everything had to be removed during the work, boxed up, etc. - it's now a year later and I can't believe there are still things that are missing - how can things get lost without ever leaving the house? it's a mystery -

9:39 pm

Actually, he said it to make me laugh.

9:40 pm

It is the strangest thing, JBV.

9:41 pm

I lose things just walking room to room ..

9:41 pm

know exactly what you mean, torgone :)

9:42 pm

yep i would have laughed

9:43 pm

have you heard about this movement - or philosophy, whatever - about paring your life down to 100 essential items? must say there is something appealing about it - for example, how many towels, dishes, shoes, etc. do we really need? if we all had fewer things, we wouldn't be losing them, I guess

9:43 pm

hi all. 94 left.

9:43 pm

need ap 5 word clue plz.

9:44 pm

ap 5 - add sibling, not bro

9:44 pm

Doing a total house clear out as we are, after daughter leaving home, anf attic stuff to be sorted too, we are hoping to find lost stuff along the wa.

9:44 pm

I would love to simplify ..

9:44 pm

we went through that in real life in 2000 when we had catastrophic forest fires. most of the evacuees (note i said MOST) had time to think about what they would take, knowing that anything left behind might be destroyed

9:45 pm

recipe boxes were right up there on most people's lists

9:45 pm

I've thought about something like that, JBV. But it would take me a lifetime to decide which 100 things are the most important.

9:45 pm

how excruciating, harp

9:46 pm

well, i was not personally impacted, other than the chaos of living in are area where so many people were homeless,

9:46 pm

As for the how much do we need thing - far less than we imagine I would say after liviing minimally after 4 house floods and through 3 major builder expaniong house thingeys.

9:46 pm

true, Bea :)

9:46 pm

Why do you think recipe boxes are so important?

9:46 pm

well, Jac, you could give us all much needed advice on discarding the excess we live with

9:46 pm

ty got ap word.

9:47 pm

people were allowed to bring pets, kids, etc. to the office, and they started bringin in things they wanted to protect

9:47 pm

ar 5 10 last one please?

9:47 pm

the recipes represent family traditions, so very sentimental I imagine

9:47 pm

so one office in our building had an antique pink couch, another had a grandfather clock

9:47 pm

Food that comfortd from the past is v. importany.

9:47 pm

ar 5 = add same sibling

9:47 pm

and grandma's recipes can't be replaced

9:48 pm

ty got it jbv.

9:48 pm

my photos are such a mess i might leave them behind on purpose! it would save me years of cataloging

9:48 pm

as 7 please?

9:48 pm

we had a minor flood and it was amazing how uninteresting your treasures become when they are soaking wet and/or moldy....

9:48 pm

LOL, Harp. Make sure they are saved tto disc.

9:48 pm

Grandma's button box can not be replaced wither.

9:49 pm

infectious, mkg (i think)

9:49 pm

*either

9:49 pm

as7 = a + what a wound does when it goes bad.

9:49 pm

and I also think that if something has survived the generations and is in my possession, I am obliged to be the caretaker and not let it die under my watch

hullo everyone. How are y'all today? should I start this grid?

9:49 pm

most people assume i would save my instruments, but actually it's the MUSIC that would be hard to replace

9:49 pm

I have a great button box, BzznBea - my mother was a dressmaker, had a beautiful collection

9:49 pm

it's not too bad moon, you can do it in 2 hours

9:50 pm

ty got it.

9:51 pm

i just looked it up, it means the exact opposite of what i thought it meant....

9:51 pm

Harp - there will always be someone else with an instrumenrt, but can they make the exact music that youy make?

'kay. will focus for a little while and come back to chog when stuck....

9:52 pm

My grandma would go to thrift shops with measuring tape in hand. She would find a dress made with material she liked. This was back when skirts were full

ha ha bea - my daughter does that now.

9:52 pm

that's exactly my thought, jac. replacing a couple of harps and a piano, that are insured, will take some time, and a couple of phone calls. But replacing three file cabinets full of music would involve THOUSANDS of phone calls

9:52 pm

I used to do that, too, Bz, back in the 70s and 80s.

9:53 pm

besides, if i'm homeless what in the hell am i going to do with a bunch of fragile wooden instruments?

9:53 pm

Early 60's. She would whip out that tape measure, measure the fabric in the skirt and if it was enough, she would takeit home, tear it apart...

9:53 pm

maybe i'd take one, so i had something to play...

9:53 pm

by the late 60's there was just barely enough fabric in a skirt to make a bikini!

9:54 pm

Remove the buttons and string them together, then throw them in her button box.

9:54 pm

So, Harp, youh have to get ty[ing to get all of that saved on disc on or one of those new but marvellous memory sticks.

9:54 pm

um, would that involve knowing how to use a scanner or a camera?

9:54 pm

The she would take the fabric and make me a new dress or jumper.

9:55 pm

No, Harp. Just type and save to 'word' for now.

9:55 pm

After that, Harp, contact me for how to save it off computer.

9:56 pm

um, y ou can't really do that with MUSIC, needs finale or something, .... i don't even have a good list of my music so I couldn't even tell the insurance company what i have lost.....

9:56 pm

good night everyone, nice chatting with you, see you tomorrow

9:56 pm

Night, JBV.

9:56 pm

Time you started cateloguing your music collection, Harp.

9:57 pm

Harp, do you know what cheese straws are?

9:57 pm

one interesting thing we learned in our minor flood, if you have wet things and can't dry them all out (like if all your important papers are soaker) you can FREEZE them and dry them out over time....

9:57 pm

cheese straws? i guess not

9:57 pm

is pa 8 two words? or if not clue plz?

9:57 pm

(*important papers are soaked)*

9:58 pm

Just an informal survey. I think they are a southern thing.

9:58 pm

My life finale is Freebird by Lyn Skyn, preferabl;y not the version with all the young girls hanging. i prefer just the music and my imagination/

9:59 pm

PA8 is not a compund word.

9:59 pm

No pe6. It's pe8.

9:59 pm

pa8, I meant. Sorry.

10:00 pm

first 5 letters are the same as the following pe6, then add mr guevarra

10:00 pm

Don't apologise ..

10:01 pm

wow tough grid tonight.

10:01 pm

10:01 pm

mkg, beign an 'artistic' type, this word was easy for me. pa** (not the present time) plus German for 'I' + a vowel.

10:01 pm

Great group ..

10:02 pm

loooove cheesestraws!

10:02 pm

harp[ - I listen to randomtracks all the time, that's no crime!

10:02 pm

Hey, Uni. See, you live in the south.

10:02 pm

Hey, Uni. See, you live in the south.

10:02 pm

10:04 pm

10:05 pm

ex, 6 & 7, to encourage in a way that's embarassing

10:05 pm

you can make them spicy if you want . . . my aunt made them with cayenne pepper

10:05 pm

ex (1st|) is to cut pout sutgically.

10:05 pm

Yes, all the recipes I have seen use cayenne.

10:05 pm

i had basmati rice, tandoori chicken, rolled up in a jalapeno pepper for dinner

10:06 pm

the secret is to use real butter and extra sharp cheddar

10:06 pm

cut pout sutgically??????do i know those words?

10:06 pm

ex6 and 7 are to advise or caution in an urgent way.

10:06 pm

it was "what we had" in the fridge, and it was excellent!

10:06 pm

got one of them..........not the others.

10:06 pm

sounds a little like how you get rid of a demon

10:06 pm

MMM. Sounds good.

10:06 pm
