Saddy mum
hi Saddy
hey m'lady
hey sprite
how are you all
Saddy you need to resize your image its too big
ricochet phantom
Cold
hmmm ok... wait
hmmm no idea Mac =(
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.
is that ok
doh thank you Mac
lovely, Saddy! She is a beauty!
Have you got se6?
hi macadam :)
I still ahve half of here.
I still ahve half of her.
yes I had it thank you
Oh Sprite.I`m so glad to see you.Is everything getting better?
There she is oh she is so cute
is perfect now, Saddy
try refreshing m'lady
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.
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.
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
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.
sc 6/24 anyone?
thanks macadam. The support of all my babble friends has really made a difference. *hug*
((((hugs )))))to you too.
Sprite i am glad the upside is starting to come out for you. Hi Maca too
sorry no, I only have a 6/27
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!
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
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.
thank you Haz
Hi lady and Haz.
fireworks
since my employer already cut my pay for 30% a year ago.
wtg Hugs!!!
hi Haz
You're welcome, meliae. Good morning/evening all.
yay hugs good for you I still have 18 to go
my last word is always one that I thought I had entered already... grrr
80 to go.Back later to complete.
I think enable likes to watch us refind and reenter words.
bye for now, macadam, and *hug* to you.
goodnight everyone... or have a great day...
Take care Sprite.
nini HUgs sweet dreams ((HUGS))
bye Hugs, have a good one and take care of you.
Morning all
hi FM :)
Ok i am going to go cook dinner. Enjoy
Hey meii, was thinking of you yesterday as there was a big dolls house and minatures show on just up the road from where I live :)
Morning sprite
bye lady, enjoy too
thanks Haz, found the sc you clued
You're welcome.
oh I would so have loved to gone to that!
th 8, 8 , and 9 kililng me I should just give up and work on this tommorow
Judging by the amount of cars, it was a popular event. Hello Haz.
then do so, mel, don't torture yourself. The grid will be here tomorrow as well.
th9 - think of those who think deep thoughts and who publish them
Good morning FMitch - is the weather dreich there as well?
lol no, rather pleasant and more importantly dry!
aha know the words you are saying now I just need to spell them correctly lol
G'd morning Babblers!
morning Lori
Does an Ata impression as I found the th8,8,9 all by myself :)
Morning Lori!!
ah, smug, FM
Good morning Lori.
Smug will have to be shared around.
5 words from that bottom e. Ack
lol fm thank you got all 3 was overlooking the double vowel words at the start
4 are nomal and one does not exist Lori
I don't think Ata Hari is going to willingly share her smug-osity.
Smugalante, in spite of her name, is very good at sharing.
lol, Thanks FM!
are those th biggies normal words?
yes sprite
Absolutely, sprite. Think Darwin, Newton and Ata's grandfather, Einstein.
thanks, I am probably on a very wrong track here :)
would never have thought I'd say it, but I'd like a K.
*faints*
lolol, there's a sentence I thought I'd never see.....
*carefully helps FM up* Sorry, shouldn't have dropped that so carelessly...
there they are. Was barking up the wrong tree indeed, looking for think and thought. Thanks all :)
lol sprite
yay!
have you been drinking sprite? LOL
I have hit thel wall at 27 left. sigh.
lol mel, at 10.48 am? Not me. I don't need alcohol to be crazy.
Good grid today though
that number has been called before by others, FM. Seems it is a common brick wall.
yay fireworks, what a nasty little grid
wtg mel!
Congratulations meliae!
Congrats meli
I love the grid so far, but I am just over halfway
thank you
ha wait till you get to around 40 to go then we will see, lol
*grin*
tri sd
Glad to see the grid have a real fish in it
busted, marigold :D
and a tasty one too, FM :)
mmm one of my favourites
sorry
don't say sorry, I like it, I can see you now :) *hug*
A sighting of the very rare marigold and on a day when sprites wants a K!! I can't handle this :)
I've decided that hand sewing is quite the most delightful occupation.
poor FM *evil grin*
is it, Haz?
brb fixing icon
*runs screaming from the log ... the world has gone mad!!!!***
Anyone have the 1st 2 letters of the other 8? Please and Thank You in advance.
I'm just seeing if that will finish her off. All we need is Lori talking about housework in glowing terms.
pa8
pa, Lori
Thanks Haz, sprite
I think that did it, Haz.
You're welcome.
yw Lori
Sorry haz, I love a good needling, but that would be taking it too far, even in jest.....
***housework is the root of all evil***
Even a fond reference to how nice it is to dust once in a while?
or how much you enjoy looking at your room once you are done dusting?
Dust ?
*opens meds cupboard and grabs bottles, then scurries off to hidey cupboard for sanctuary*
Dusting ? ***You ladies speak Babel***
...in the wind.... all we are is...
The fluffy grey stuff that holds conventions in corners.
the last E from the bottom is to cut out.
*hands FM a flashlight, so she can read the labels and won't goof up*
*pets dust bunnies in hidey *hole
Or, another 8 letter ex word, minus the er, another thing I refuse to do besides housework... :-)
ok icon updated I just love that poem and have it famed on my bedroom wall
But Lori, you can get people to do it for you by proxy. As Green is doing a really good workout everyday for me.
clue for the ex6/36 please, pretty please....
ex6 - it's what you're doing, beseeching, pleading.
We clued them below fm.....
great one, mel
Haz, I like it! Sub contracting. :)
got the 6/7 ex it's the first one.... scrolls back
Or ex6/36 - to surgically remove, like what the customs men do at airports with smuggled goods.
Great poem meli
that is the one I meant, Haz. To cut out.
The clue being with the customs and ex5/36
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
Ack. We've had that stoopid pa before. Ack
lovely, mel! Be sure to do so one day!
lol meli.
I ahve found the grand total of 2 words in 1/2 an hour and am traumatised by you lot! *giggle*
Think it might be time to take a break and go enjoy the outside world
Good morning everyone.... just had to pop in and share my news !!! I got a new grandson this morning !!!
woweeeeee Karys! Congratulations! How are baby and mum? What is his name?
ooo Karys congrats!
Ooooh!! congrats Karys and lovely to see you :)
Yea FM! You rock! ***plants a Coyote style Acme made trap outside hidey cupboard door for FM***
Congratulations Karys!
enjoy the day Haz!
thank you all.... he may be going to be called Jamie, but as yet that is not definate, I havn't seen them yet, but Mum and baby are fine. He clocked in at 8.8oz
Congratulations Karys!
a nice healthy baby!
how wonderful, Karys. *hug*
Enjoy him Karys. :)
Jamie is a fine name. And 8.8 is a good weight. You've done well, Karys.
Granny Ksrys :)
It is very exciting, this is my daughter's first baby, and it is different when it's your own daughter !
This time I'm to be a Nan Mitch !
No wonder your cat is grinning extra hard this morning!
lol Haz positively beaming!
what is the difference between a granny and a nan?
I should have been on holiday, but we were caught up in this current collapse .
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
Just the name, sprite. They both come with lashings of love.
Just the name sprite, I am Grandma to two of my grandsons, and Nan to the others.
ok, thanks Karys and Haz :)
Filo pastry doesn't puff, puff pastry puffs.
ok fm I wasnt sure thank you
Right, have to go and purchase the neccessary Nan things for baby now... back later.
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
See you Karys, and congratulations again.
enjoy, Karys!
enjoy Karys so much fun buying baby things
Later Nanny Karys. Enjoy!
*hides in Karys's wake and heads out before Kori/Lori can grab me. Back in a while :)
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....
argh, the Cs are ugly.
Darn those Acme made products! Catch ya' later FM. :d
Haz I agree 100% !!!!
Hooray! I'm not alone!
Haz, I agree. We never did. Easy fitting things are so much nicer.
Add my agreement to the old fogeys club.
I see those little kids dressed up like little trollops and I want to just take them home and dress them like babies
I see a campaign happening. I'm glad it's not just me.
let kids be kids. They have to grow up too soon as it is anyway, in this world.
even the little girls ages around 8 dressed like 16 year olds or worse
Gotta say it....I blame the images put in front of them...take Bratz characters for instance..
I know. But if the parents didn't buy it, would the shops stock it?
I cringe when I walk through a Department store, and look'it what people buy for their "little girls". God.
Bratz - the name says it all. They're grotesque.
It's like a sprint to strip them of their childhood.
Caya had this class mate. Walked on really high heels, in net stockings and low cut blouse at 7 yo. It worried me.
What confuses me is that people are ultra-suspicious of paedophilia, yet dress their children completely inappropriately.
Yes I agree, but young girls are bombarded with them, theres colouring books dolls cartoons, the list goes on
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
I know, spanner, but parents have to be the grown-ups and say NO.
nothing wrong with strong morals, imo.
good day all
hi carlee and spanner
I was astounded when my niece was sent home from school for wearing make up. Astounded cause shes only 7
It's called being responsible. But that could never work.
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.
Morning spanner, carlee.
Make up at 7? Good grief.
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
Ha we didnt have all the Human rights laws then Haz..
saying NO to children is giving them limits, security and love.
yeap..my daughter 12.....I let her on SPECIAL dress up occasions to wear lipgloss
Probably just as well, spanner. I'd have been risking my liberty every time I raised my voice.
I know kids will sneak and change before they get to school if the schools would back up the parents more it would help
meliae - sadly it's often the case that the parents back the children, rather than the school.
not that bad now, Haz. Our kids are 12 and 10 and we have always limited them where we thought we should.
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
Teachers are pretty powerless to be frank
Its one of the reasons I left the job...
well, we don't spank. But grounding, yes. And rules are rules.
Parents are all too willing to give their little darlin's an out. A great disservice.
well its not the teachers that set the rules its the school board
They're powerless because (a) lots of parents don't back them up and (b) the government has removed any effective deterrent or punishment.
Last year, the Supreme Court reaffirmed our right to spank meliaie.
parents and teachers must work together. We do and we are very happy with the schools we chose for our children.
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
true Haz, but I worked in real tough schools, and it made a hard job impossible, especially when there was no parental involvement
my son well he had his fair share of swats LOL
A swat on the butt never hurt anyone. Nothing like a good spanking argument to liven things up though! :p
yep it takes the backing of the parents
It must have been incredibly difficult, spanner and so frustrating when all that potential is just wasted.
Is your son duly traumatized and damaged for life meliae?
hello Babblers
Ive just remembered why I love this game ...its the company I keep LOL
hi lobo *hug*
Hello Sprite
G'd morning lore!
hello again Lore
beautiful icon, lobo
Mel have you not finished yet
cant beat yours sprite
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.
:) She is beautiful,isn't she, lobo
got all the reticulation up and running planted vegies and got the washing in
pity shes gone to bed but she did make a comment earlier
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!
My all survived the odd swat too....and believe it or not are all well adjusted citizens!!!
she emailed me, lobo. It hit home and I am glad.
Shirley not spanner!
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!
Yup...but its difficult to believe
bye Haz, good luck with those.
That h word, it burns mine eyes. Laters Haz.
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
Toodle-pip!
and fireworks
Gotta' wake the spawnlings soon, and I've accomplished so few words. Too much yakking.
Well its been ace but gotta go and do the dreaded H too, plus the dogs are needing a trot. Later all
sin bin for spanner
Congrats Sprite. Bye!!
okay just caught up with the chat'
Later spanner, have a good one. Congratulations sprite!
ya Sprite congrats you whizzed right through the grid
and I am off too, going to put a wash in and then keep my girl company. *hugs* to you all.
so toodle pip Haz hugs for Spangle
woopee well done!!! Sprite
mel, it was a lovely one! Except for the Cs, they bugged me.
caya doing okay then and you take it easy see you next time hugs Princess
Later sprite, have a good one.
have a wonderful day sprite and glad to hear that Caya is feeling better
loriP glad to see you again
lobo: not okay yet, still so tired. But eyes are more clear and she looks less like a raccoon now. It will take time, i think. Tomorrow or wednesday test result of the mono. Don't think that is it, I think it is another virus. The one Walter got. And many others.
Glad to be seen lore. :-) Nice to see you too.
yep sounds like it anyways give Caya a big hug from me and a big lick from Lobo
I will! Thanks :) *poof*
LoriP nice grid today

wtg Jac! I'm not finding it as easy yet!
You'll soon get into the swing of it, ASG.
I'm 53 in, but typing in a lot of duds!
If anyone sees Westford can they please tell her the recipe for cranberry & apple sauce is in my bio and I'll stay signed it so she can find me on 'Who's Online'.
mmmmm, sounds good - will pass along if I "see" her
HI

asgreen - that is a cool photo of your family and I hope you enjoyed your trip to our wonderful Aus
thanks Niks - we had a wonderful time "down under" - and hope to return! We have sort of extended family there, so I don't think it's too far fetched to expect to go back!
Green there is an AUstralian resturant in the city and i quoted your daughter
lol - re: the kangaroos?
which reminds me, I should be making my photo album - sheesh, it's been 9 months already!
yep

hi, all. I had a great day yesterday, and I'm getting through the grid fairly well today.
i think "all" is me.
but, that's good to hear, about you.
clue the 9, hursh? what does it start with?
th
53 left to go and I'm bogged down and trying not to go to the list
proper names.....elaine
Hi Babblers
my real first name is in there today -- chris
hi chris
hi annie
hurshy, are you not playing proper names anymore....actress elaine st****
I might have spelled her last name incorrectly
hi annie, i went to turn in my timecard
*thinks about elaines*
i dunno, i can't think of any elaines
i can think of characters named elaine, but not so much actresses
I was spelling her name as strich but I think it is stritch
yay, got the 9 -- thanks, hurshy!
i don't know her, what has she played?
clue the 9 please?
people who come up with hypotheses
ah, thank you, got it immediately...the 9, that is
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.
1j2u, I spend most of the morning here plodding along
I just bought a laptop and have it near my laundry room and plan on spending most of the morning ... plodding along too!
Hi Annie, there are 2 x th8 related to the 9 too :)
proper name.....millionare family who has their name on hospital buildings....ti***
Hi FM
i usually spend around 1 hour per 100 words, but sometimes i stay to chat more and clue.
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.
If I EVER finished a board I would probably hand a banner outside my house
lol judy
Today's puzzle seems a bit difficult.
I find I can usually finish with the list, but haven't yet done it without.
I dont use the list so I rarely finish
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
hi bzzn
i have 11 of those, FM, how many are there?
I like the ch 6/30....ch* and repeat
ooh that makes 12
phone, bbl
phantom: choriso
good morning all. are the i words especially strange today? it's my only tile with no words...
helllo

ok, so i'm kind of dumb. pass the fish.
then there is a combo, the singular is an anagram of the ch5 singing group
That's the one I've got.
perfect clue hursh. got them.
TY, hursh.
sorry, hurshy got caught up on a call, 13 if I have counted correctly
sorry, hurshy got caught up on a call, 14 if I have counted correctly

Good afternoon all.
Or, good morning for those across the ocean.
can't believe afro isn't a word...
Hey, haz.
Hello Haz
hi all
ocean ocean ocean ocean
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...
good morning/afternoon everyone
is afro capitalized when it means the haircut?
for example the french capital that's in the puzzle today
hi westford
But they're not accepted in babble if they're capitalised.
theoretically...
Finally got the nine that was clued 20 minutes aga. <sigh>
and for anyone who hasnt got the th8 8 9 study varina's last post!
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.
oh, did i remember to say hello?
Hey, harp.
Hi harp :)
right, haz, and when afro means the hair, it's not capitalized.
how many letters is the lone h?
hi boo and harp
he4/6, harp
hello, all!
Hey, uni and west.
Afro is capitalised in my dictionary.
thanks
Even referring to the hairstyle.
westford, did you get the earlier message from Jac? her recipe's in her profile
hi harp and Buzz
no I didn't thanks for letting me know
oooh a recipe? for what?
yw ;-)
my dictionary said both are acceptable, capitalized and not
sweet and sour sauce
I concede, but babble doesn't.
my dictionary mocked me for asking
yes, i know that there's no convincing enable.
and cherry sauce, and apple and cranberry sauce yum!
not that I copied and pasted the recipes to a file of course!
:-D
ok, 50 to go . . . no list yet . . . gotta run . . . enjoy your day/evening, all!
Bye Une

oops....Hi Babblers
Hello chiley.
are the ex words, "former something or others?"
No, harpjane, they're not.
cute kid, chiley
then for the love of mike, would someone clue them?
or at least one?
chex
Oh for Pete's sake.....
No - one is to do with cutting out surgically, the others are kind of pleading or encouraging words.
ex6/36 - to cut out, ex6/36 - to encourage, plead with, ex7, encourages in a speechmaking kind of way.
thanks
You're welcome.
fireworks for me.

Fine, fine. How's yours?
Trying to get bitty work things finished - takes time but will be v satsfying when done.
How very responsible of you. Congratulations.
*blows raspberry in general westerly direction* :)
lol! I was being sincere!
I need to make myself do all sorts of little useful things, but I just don't FEEEEEL like it!
LOL! thank goodness Haz didn't see me being so unladylike!
Right, because Haz's world would crumble if she realized that you could possibly be unladylike.
I'll come over and be your Pa for a day if you like.
(That time I was not being sincere.)
*grin*
My Pa? Like my Dad???
sorry - PA not Pop
What's PS then? lol

Don't listen to FM, Ishult. I'm the one who told you correctly!
You can be my plastic armadillo any time, FM! (That sounds like a really bad pick-up line!)
*hangs head* Vi is right as usual ;)
Sitting here laughing away
Yay! Mission accomplished! =D
Dar, phones ringing, toodles ((Vi))
Bye, then! See you later!

Hello again. My internet decided to be uncooperative for a while.
Hello, Haz! You show that internet who's boss!
Hello, pugmama, reparteena, harpjane, flosey...
Absolutely!
Although I'm seeing that being offline preserved me from seeing FMitch being unladylike.
jey vicuna
Indeed. Your computer was operating for your own protection.
So it seems. I feel bad about kicking it now.
I said hello, then my phone rang....sorry
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.
I'm writing this down so that I can use it on my CV. Refinement and delicate breeding.... You know me so well!
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.
lol Vic...
Well, it takes a true lady to know one, Haz.
Birds of a feather flock together and all that?
Hey folks. Just on for a couple minutes to unwind after work. Phantom: excoriate
Exactly. And some of them are on our heads.
hi MG!
My phantoms today are tourists and choristers.
And some of us have two heads, all the better for the wearing of birds.
Hello, MonkeyGames.
Good point. We forgot to suggest to FM that she might accomodate an extra fowl!
And chariot.
I think hoho should be a word...
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.
lol - thanks haz!
Then add three letters for a 6.
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...
You're welcome - keep going to get a Roman division of soldiers and plural.
(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.
Tell him that a provident creation assures us that there will be other lids.
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.
And shall appear as from party guests on Saturday.
ok, FINALLY off the phone
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.
Let us hope that time and birthday gifts will blunt the edges of his grief.
It's scary, As, especially when I don't understand the half of what is going on.
Phantom: parsec
The scariest part, Haz, is that neither do any of the experts and professionals involved!
Looks like the Backyardigans is already easing his pain.
this grid is crawling with ohantoms
That should make me feel better, Vicuna, but it doesn't.
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
hi monkey what is upsetting Walter?
west - hi - hmmmm, I have a message for you .... what was that again?
Saskia chewed up his plastic lid to something no longer with us.
I know, As. What appears to me as economic theory becomes economic reality for millions.
oh dear his favorite?
oh, yeah, Jac has a cranberry recipe for you... in her profile, leaving it "on" even though not here
hi...why isn't the hairdo word any good?
torch,crotch,ostrich,artistic and many more ! phantom jamboree!
Well, folks, time for me to wander off in the aimless and unenthusiastic direction of housework or something. Bye for now!
phaeton, because it's capitalised, possibly.
bye Vic - hagd!
bye vi try to find fun and joy
could I please have a clue for as7?
Still think we should do a poetry-with-the-phantoms contest.
bye vic
Unenthusiastic about housework? How can this be?
there's an as? lol
West, it was one he found at the bottom a toy chest the other day and remembered was truly glorious.
isn't astro a word?
It was orange; that is the key to liking an object.
as7 - free from germs
afro isn't capitalized when ever i use it and it's in crossword puzzles
and the dog ate it?
thanks Haz
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.
oooh, got the as, and the se from that - tx haz
haz, btw, I just got back from boot camp
When I say had the debate before, it was earlier in the chat log with others, not with you.
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.
Good girl, As. I feel toned - all thanks to you!
Haz, we're really tightening up... :)
since it was at the bottom of the toybox he must have been saving it for a special day
It's great. I can recommend this exercise by proxy. No sweat or anything.
So it would seem.
west - did you see my message from Jac?
no as but une told me she put her recipe in
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!
I keep going in and out even had a message to contact Dr god
enjoy MG
bye monkey better go shopping for a replacement orange lid too
oh, well, that was the message!
mmmmm, pierogis....
can I get to her bio if she's not here?
Yes, westford. Go to rankings, do control F to find her and her profile should show up.
y, she said she was leaving herself "on" - so look in the who's online tab and click on her bio
Or even better, do as As says.
thanks I was hoping there would be a way
lol - or do as Haz suggests
Ok, thanks Haz
No, As's way is better - more direct.
clue for an i? any i?
it4 - hard to resist scratching
ic5/14 - run together German I and the beginnings of an equine
thx Haz - again!
ic6/24 - as before and keep going with the equine.
great ic clue too
i's are gray!
she's not there..I'll catch up with her later
Well done!
three more p's and I grey out the left column!
our old cat is shedding more than usual is there something we can add to her food?
I know sometimes people add a little cooking oil to dogs' food, I'm not sure if the same trick works with cats.
95 in, 94 left...... at least one from every tile... I think I'll head to thelist
I thought I might try that
Ohh As - I'm at exactly the same point!!
fish oil for the kitty
go cad go!! and hi stranger!
:) Hi!
although could be a vitamin deficiency causing heavy shedding
I take fish oil capsules I'll share them with her
are you opening the list?
she's 18 and sleeps most of the time
Probably not yet - maybe later today -
That sounds like most teenagers, westford.
could just be old age too dear .body not working as efficiently
I'm monkeying odd words now
ME too - gotta pop out for a bit and do some work... BBL
ou6 & 7 pls?
ou6 and 7 - what the champion boxer does to his opponent
it is that pug we just try to cater to her every whim and keep her comfortable
haz, you are #1 cluer
lol haz immediately thought of dogs
Why, thank you, As.
all you can do west
ty Haz those compound words get me all the time
afro
nope - lol
You're welcome, Mary.
they do make vit supplements especially for kittys too (liquid of course)
oops - sorry folks!!
the vet gave us special food but she didn't like it
It's no problem, Denny.
so, where's kje today?
Just like a cat, westford. They're fussy creatures, aren't they?
maybe if you mix the fish oil into it she will like it?
they know what they like and it is usually what we don't have
Or maybe a little caviar? Wouldn't that be the limit!
caviar yes she'd like that hah!
good old sardines much cheaper!
hhi, all!
hi TO
that's a thought pug
She'd be able to boast to her cat friends 'I've got Westford buying me caviar'.
Hello TO!
she and the other 2 younger cats get gourmet cat food as it is Fancy Feast
spoiled babies! (like mine)
don't know how that happened lol
i have changed my icon to something a bit more upbeat.
my dogs wont eat any less than lamb & rice
and even turn their noses up at many types of doggie treats
An icon that appeals on more than one level, TO.
there's more. i can do a miniseries...
thanks for the suggestions I'm off to do something less fun
It sounds appealing, TO.
Bye westford.
well it's time for me to pack up the laptop and get ready to go the airport
bye all my babbler buddies!
whereare you going, ardilla?
bye ard - safe travels!
Bon Voyage, ardilla.
okinawa japan

good morning everyone :)
aha!! ty green!
hi cyber... but I think I have to say bye - need a shower and errands and a break!!
Good morning cybernan.
yw pug
& nan
was honestly amazed I found that one as soon as i did....
It's a nice feeling when you do, isn't it?
phantom: pistachio
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
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.
mysterys of the mind(or just fibbing to try to impress the rest of us
I actually think I know to whom you refer & suspect that is the case
i was on at flip last night. i am dragging.
LOL - girls....
I don't know. I'm pleading the Fifth.
I think the person in question uses morewords to find them
hey ia was on yesteday late and was there a dustup re cluing?
oh puleeez! it never crossed your mind haz?
sorry clueing
pugmama - you really don't want to know the state of my mind sometimes.
not sure what you mean TO
scary huh haz?
I want to transpose the t and r so I can have patriot...
hello all
it seems i came in just after something happened. ooh my monkeys are loving this grid.
Scary is right. I could kill sometimes.
help with bottom H please
this grid is crawling with phantoms
I left early last night, so don't know
hi peri
hi peri! peri do you want to go to a feast in south philly on sunday next?
don't have it , peri, but would accept help too!
There wasn't a dustup, more a discussion about different styles of clueing and the merits and demerits of spoonfeeding.
ok, now I'm really laeving - 49 left - bbl
what kind of feast, TO
ooh -- I agree with that one, haz -- hate to see clues that in effect give the first 4 letters!
Peri - Hell **** no fury change 2nd vowel
italian feast for St. Pio.
oh yes that discussion!
another bablet -- ty denny
thanks Denny
how much is it, TO?
peri, only costs to eat that yummy italian market food.
I think I prefer clues like you do them haz.. you have to think to get them...hatespoonfeeding in general..
I read the discussion afterwards, it's always interesting to hear what others think.
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.
fortunately when the clues are flying like that I already have those words in general
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.
what time, TO
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.
And have you learned your lesson BNL?
hoops and snakes..? sounds pentecostal?
well done, bnl! ;)
has anyone heard from ping, she lives in Houston
Oh, if they could get the snakes to jump through the hoops, it would be miraculous!
blacking out at a fast food restaurant...not a good sign of judgement...
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.
hate the whole snake letter stick letter hook letter and the ever ridiculous "chair letter" thing
ok, may be you could pick me up, TO, we could meet at Target again if that is easier for you
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?
I feel your pain, pugmama.
peri i am either taking pub trans or carpooling.
chain letter?
From everything I remember and photos thereafter I can say I had a good time, and I fed a bunch of hungry people
ok, then, I will figure out a way to get there
silly ruru
no. CHAIR letter.
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.
bbl
TACOS for the HOUSE!
mmmmmm......tacos.....
Let's just be glad he didn't go into a fancy restaurant and offer to pay for everyone.
I have just given my puppy his first bone - he is in HEAVEN!!LOL
trio
(oopsie)
good clue eva - lol
You'll be much loved, Denny.
hi evaN! mmmsteak soft taco
i try, cybernan ;)
Will keep him away form the children's toys hopefully ;-)
good luck on that
The kids will soon learn to pick up their toys
Have you tried the stuffed sock toy, Denny?
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.
phantom: ricochet
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!
phantom: ostrich
lol 91 degrees. too hot.
That's the only problem, you do have to keep an eye to make sure the pup doesn't rip into it too much.
What sort of dog is Jack, Denny?
He's a labradoodle!! 6 months old and already the height of a large lab!!!
Back briefly! Oh no, has ther ebeen another dog/toy disaster?
He sounds fun. Is the hair curly or not?
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!!!
Walter has forgiven Saskia and is over the loss of his orange plastic lid...
Oh, never the Kevin Keegan look!
We are trying to steer clear of the permed mullet, and aiming more for the shaggy bruce forsyth look LOL
That sounds better!
cool totally monkeyed the pa8!
Have to go to get the evening meal under way. Enjoy the grid everyone!
bye haz!
bye, haz! bye, all

hi Angel, bye bfsog
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.
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.
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!
hi, Lynxx, monkey
hey all lunch time!
hi all, not getting the tr6/7 clue
wait, I have a tr6/24 is that what was clued

What kind of tumor?
a benign tumor that began with an S, don't remember the name. She lived in a remote village somwhere and was told that nothing could be done.

hurry up kje ;)
good evening all... icon themes and icon updated. Very taste theme tomorrow. If you can, please send a recipe to GroovyKiwi. She is going to make us a Babble cook book online!
I'm a little tense myself here, too...
hi sprite
cool idea for your icon
...campus police *parking patrol* made their rounds again - must have a new person on staff...
...gave me a ticket in a space I've been parking in for THREE friggin' years!
I just want a straight answer from my consultant... is that asking too much????
Not at all, kje
thanks kje :)
I hate campus parking police pini!!!
I think workers down the hall can probably hear me pounding on my keyboard!
they s*ck, Pini
(sorry to those of you who can hear me, too)
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
I even took them a copy of my permit and they still made me fill out a Petition!!!! UGH!
LOL josh
OMG! ouch, josh!
PB, pini. tsk tsk
how childish of them, josh
be happy folks, you could be a Lehman Brother....
*hanging head in shame* I'm going...hrmph
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
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
my BIL is asg
but he'll just go out on his own now
kje, what a beautiful lady is that in your icon!
OK, enough bitching... back to the grid
ooooch kje... well, hopefully his entire sfuture isn't tied up. I'm tellin' ya -- it's a dark day here in Summit, NJ
th 5 before Romeo where art th4/6?
TY sprite - I liked the ad campaign... wonderful? or wrinkled?
I think Pini deserves a free pass for the PB, josh. She had a helluva bad day.
thanks, sprite! ;)
ooooh - thanks for pointing that out josh and sprite - I did not have that ou
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
th5 pls????
josh has to stay in the PB for repetively insulting me
asgreen - th + spanish gold
I'll do what I can, josh...
sounds like complete
...I swear if they don't get their act together....
AsGreen: yes it was jillibus in my pic. My tribute to the elderly. When I grow up, I wanna be like jilli.
...I'm going to insist that they finally put MY tag number on the POST!
i don't insult - i needle
usually spelled with a ugh at the end
omg....shoot me now.... thx! ... 7
stupid cupid... stop pickin' on me...
be careful josh, the needle is pointy on both ends : )
i know - i keep the sharpest edge for myself. you can't have it
? sprite?
back to work for me...
that was for josh, kje. He was needling, he said. I think he was picking on her :)
maybe with this heightened energy level I'll actually get something done!
have fun...cy'all tonight.
enjoy work, Pini.

>_<
ok, i'll save the last 50 for when i get back from the supermarket
don't know, kje, something might have come up.

al, haven't been on at the same time as you in quite a while
ch6/30 please

thats what causes insomnia for me! brain refuses to shut down....
peri, if someone is dressed to the nines, you say they are ch6/30
true, tyger.. nice to see you again
ch+ vowel & repeat
mexican slang for titty
funny word, thanks
dont know if is has another meaning
ch6,30 is the name of my first monkey child
oh lordy, i didin't know it was a word for titty
ch6/30 is Greek letter C X 2
me neither
ditto, al :)
isn't that Greek letter X ?

that restaurant has delish baby back ribs, also Fajitas
lived with a guy from Mexico for 9 months
back
10 left - the list was apparently all i needed
monk, you never know when any word in English is going to have a strange - or obscene - meaning in another language
the first ro gave me problems, though
co5/18 please

doh, thanks pug
******madly huling flounder at peri******
1st ro is name for Catholic liturgical garment

ok-I'm distracted and need to to cook too! Good luck finishing!! Bye!
*ouch* that hurt
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
happy cuisine lady green!~!
*picking flounder bones out of peri's hair*
i hope to travel to turkey this fall - is the weather bad during the winter there?
:-D
i have no clue, joshua, just don't ask for any peaches
went to greece in Nov & it was lovely
depends on what part of the country you visit, josh - it's a pretty big country :)
imagine the climate is similar
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
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.... :)
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
bbs
that would be a great help, tyger - thanks
ok, last word - the last ch
any clues?
the last ch6
ch+ we call trolls **B's + vowel
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
lasts what you asked for dear the last ch
ch+ this ** that +2/3 of frozen h2o
yeah, i put the 6 after when i corrected myself
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
wahoo, congrats, joshua!!!!
1 sc, 1 si, and 1 sp, aloyisius
4 sc's--5 si's-3 sp's
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
total I meant of course
know the feeling josh
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
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
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
23° 26' 22" per wikipedia :) oh and hi all
very interesting blog post - tyger - thanks again
hi icepyro
cool icon ice - what is that?
Hey all. Back for the last 20.
wb, Bzzn
well I figured if my nick was going to be icepyro, I might as well have a icon of a match burning with ice ;)
wb, Bzzn
back for a minute. yvw, josh. tropics are mostly +/- 15deg - but depends on position
others consider it +/-20 or +/-30
neato

thanks! I will *taking notes*
do enjoy yourself.
hi stid please tell ardilla hello and hugs from me please
but the icon theme list says today is honoring Japan or some such thing
I will have a good time, I know it. I am just a tad nervous... but I am not scared (a good sign)
it's old people day here. It's a Japanese custom
never fear all,...i is still here! he he

HI Nutty

hi ya'll...ikey came in and took some of my trees...the jerk head
Hi Peri
anyways enjoy the grid will be back at flip just wanted lil*monkey to see her choice of icon have fun ciao
what list are you looking at, loredana?
Hi, peri, lore, nut, and everyone else!
ummm... who did, and what trees?
later lore!
took one of ours and many many shingles here Nut. Sorry about your trees
bye bye Loredana
Hurricane Ike, Stid
Ike took a lot of things--sorry mom and nut
bye, lore
oh. my eyes are tired.
sorry nut -- but... I thought you were like WAY safe. *worried mama look*
we are one of the fortunate ones, our electric came back on last night. Many, many are still without power here
does anyone else know what loredana was talking about?
I don't follow the themes, Monkey, but I thought she was referring to the theme for tomorrow as being yours
heh! just spent an hour picking up sticks...and got maybe 1/25th of the yard half cleared
i guess those trees are what one calls volunteer firewood?
but Mom, the list doesnt' say that
wow nut, at least it's exercise, I suppose.
then I am not sure, Monkey.
hello
Hi Harp
hey harp!
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.
Nut, do you have electric?
i only lost electric for about 2 hours, god bless co-ops
I am sure of that Nut.
Wow. I didn't realize it hit Kentucky and Pennsylvania. back after I check the news...
just the wind hit here
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
monkey, had to check to make sure. the list is in sprite's profile
and some wind it was, eh Nutty?
i'm stuck on the ho5 words, i have "lift" and "dances" and would dearly love a hint for the other two!
oh i was looking at the icon theme list in Lickety
Harp I have what Trigger was a ho 5/12
ro6/24 please
how can you look at Sprite's profile right now? She isn't online
sorry Peri just getting started here
sorry Peri just getting started here
go into the rankings list
probably saved under the My Friends tab

harpjane, ho5 you saddle and ride, then drop last vowel and put a consonant

sorry, I wandered off (again)
OK thanks littlebitt

no stid :)
clue for ch 6 /30 please
don't have that yet boo
Hi everyone. Mom, I just read your meatloaf recipe and mine is almost the same. Instead of oats I use breadcrumbs soaked in milk.
hey gramma!
peri ro6: like how you make doilies, without the first letter
BRB
ah! thanks for that one harp
HI Gramma. I think it is a delicious recipe. I have never tried breadcrumbs in it
took a while but we did it!
thanks Harp
got one of them...
got the other. I have NBT!
congrats on that Stid
help with the 1st ar 5/10 please
so sorry, the phone, it keeps ringing!
YES! I got an 8!
You are just so popular Nutty
i am so jealous Stid
down to 100...
why jealous Mom?
you found an 8 :)
56 here
yeah, more like they're hoping i don't need no help
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
I doubt that Nut.
lol Stid, well I am glad you are not housebound anymore
positive mom...imagine how they all have their own big messes...only my being atop a hill makes it a little messier
i dunno mom...we got to see more of her when housebound....but i GUESS for stids sake
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.
and I wouldn't think of you as sad or lonely
lol Nut
you know Mom... I was lonely though until Babble came along. *big happy heart for Dr. G and babblonians*
I bit on the hill it was a mess Nut
Back at it with44 to go.
go gramma go!
with your Stidkids or part of your going back to college?
go Gramma go
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.
{{Stid}} I am so glad your health has improved
((((STUD)))))))
rofl pam!
christ, I meant STID
lol Pam
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....
*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!
LOL
*soothing gentle breezes and calming sounds and nice tea to pam*
ok kids, pile in the car ... we are going to go visit Pam
WOW! halfway came and went when I wasn't looking!
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
thanks, mom
you're welcome Pam
ick. I will take sudafed ONLY when I have a headache like that ... I can't stand those
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.
I haven't tried the delayed release version. psis
and yes, it worked *heading to PB*
thanks Stid. **putting yummy snacks out**
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*
i think i found a good book for everyone to listen to
http://urlPass.com/3sp8
but it's my only chance to see her maybe. and i would love to meet her in person
take care Stid and have a safe drive.
I can only take the delayed release--the regular gives me agita... why penalty box--what did i miss?
see you-all later. down to 83 when I come back. IF...
Why is she stateside, stid--is al well?
*poof*
have fun, stic
*stid
oh -- all is well pam -- had a vacation between duty stations, I believe.
*repoof*
ahhhhhh..... thanks

*runs and hides from lex behind fallen trees*
hi all
LOL--that is something,nuy
hi, dorens
Hi DOrens and TO
hi, lex
oh crap. i found alword while chog was llading and i already forgot it. senility is looming.
Hi Lex
hey doren, i msut email you about my exciting night on friday ;)
how was the wedding?
family friendly book there pam...good to share
hi mom, pam. lex (note only three lettered names here)
lololol, doresn
nut is three letters
wedding was great.... an orthodox wedding at the yale club. i will email you pics of me and the man, owl
hey...
ooooohhhhh i met someone, too.
who got hitched, dorens?
GREAT, TO!
my good friend's daughter.... it was a fabulous time. OWL. is this the dance lessons guy?
LOL no you;d have to know the whole story. and i must wait for mother dorens to give me advice lest i bare my naivete again.
i think this is a shot and a beer night? i can't imagine where my whiskey keeps going, anyone else want in?
yes! i found a ctch tho - do i have to practice with him between lessons?
yes nut IS three letters... you are supposed to say hi doren, and then i say hi back with your name
YES, nut.
count me in what do you have?
no thanks Nut.... here you can have the rest of the Maker's Mark that is sitting on the shelf
yeah...but i like to be a pain dor, you know that
no you don't have to. only if you WANT to, owl. i will have a drink nut, but i am sticking to my wine. here's looking at you
canadian mist whiskey and ithaca apricot wheat beer
mmmm...i ADORE makers mark
never heard of that type of beer
gee a babble meet with this crew would be cheap. if we have it in delawre that is :D
good evening dear Babblers
I like Makers Mark, too
well, here you go .... enjoy
hi, pug
good evening Pug
its made in ithaca new york mom, i doubt it comes down far enough for you, i have to special order it here
mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmnut that is the one whiskey i like - tho our canadian friends say it is cheap stuff
it is cheap, i call it the best cheap whiskey out there, it, then black velvet
nut ill be there in about 7 hours ;)
I think you said it best--the best cheap whisky. Otherwise, it's the single malts for me...
ok, you can have the spare room, i'll be up by then
ithaca apricot wheat beer sounds great. i will try to find some
ha wouldn't you be surprised if the doorbell rings in about 7 hours
they make Maker's Mark in Loretto KY and give wonderful tours
she'd be delighted
ooh i have contacts in ithaca.
and they are coming here in the next 2 weeks.
well, you might be frightened by my appearance at that hour, but i'd let you sleep while i head off to work, then drag you along to the uppercase living party
and you can dip your own bottle, providing you are over 21
i recommend that beer owl
uppercase living party?
ok . i guess it's unethical to ask a conracor to bring me some. gratuities and all.
google it dorens, its neat stuff
ok
one super long day down, four more to go
why so long? youare working 12 hours a day?
what happened Nut, that you are working such long hours?
if i type ricochet one more time...

WA MU is in trouble too

I can't figure out the as jilli asked for? thanks
the evil twins of D.C.
or just play babble all day long
ha ha ha dawg!
has little to do with the pres. has everything to do with corporate greed and recklessness
a + do you have sewers or a se**** tank
ha ha ha red, i heard how w was whining because everyone addresses cheney at cabinet meetings and ignores him
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.
indeed, TO -- can't blame W for this one
agree, TO. Lehmen's head honcho made 22 mil in bonus last year!
thanks, dorens!
exactly owl, had everything to do with too many years republican...we need more balance in control
the beast, eh?
yeah, the amount of money those guys make is totally unconscionable
CEO salaries are obscene
Seems he could have bought the entire co out.
but the economic policies that allow such practices are another story guys!
Yes, the beast. FLorida, East, the Beast...
good for you, red!
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...
greedy get greedier, and take bigger risks, and sometimes those risks fail. well they failed big time!
Will you be going there, red?
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...
that they do, red
golden parachutes, Nut.
good lucj, red!
yeah, or stricter gov't regulations on credit cards....if they can regulate mortgages, then they can do the same to credit cards
good luck red
*luck
they did a real bang up job regulating mortgages!
ah, but nutty, where is the free trade, and fee will?
Has everyone done ABC's Match-O-Matic? See http://tinyurl.com/69wu36 -- great stuff
what is it jilli?
si 6 clue?
si6--not bro + *** la la
si - opp of bro + *** la la
just go and see, kje -- it's worth it -- see who you would really vote for
i could go for a little explaining the consequences of all that free trade and will, starting at a young age... a little accountability....
jinx kje
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.
right nut... and it has been evident for quite a while... you have to wonder why they let it get this bad
what LALA? don't get it ... like ooh la la?
greed dorens....nothing else but
try tra, ruru
like *** la la la la la la la la
jilli - LOL
hi, ruru
***hangs head in shame...***
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.
if i didn't have the word, ru, I would have thought "fa" not "tra," so don't feel so badly...
must go -- see y'all about an hour after the flip -- have fun
true red, but first the cycle needs to be broken, people only know what they are taught
there have been times I wouldn't have had groceries or heat without credit cards
ciao, jilli
hi!
by jill!
hi madi how's school this year?
Yes times, but not all the time!
hi madi!
Hi madi, how is everything going with Band etc!
agreed, nut, and credit card companies that mail cards and offers to 18-year-olds as they enter school really irk me!
NUUUUUUUUUUUTTTTTTTTTTYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!
I think I need some coffee before tackling the last 25 - brb
hi madi

hi pam... sorry .. head in grid syndrome
http://urlPass.com/3sp8
lol, ruru... mine is in the grid and on the gridiron....
hi dorens TO red. school is great. but there's istep this week (indiana's standardized testing0
Pam are you a fan of football?
madi you know you'll do fine... don't stress over those things
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.
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...
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.
I hope you will go to that ABC Match-O-Matic -- fun, and informative :D
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
I watch those, too, red.
what is it about, jili?
jilli, i just did the matchomatic...i'm surprised, but i still came out with my candidate of choice.
this grid is now annoying
y' think so owl? me too... down to 7 and losing interest

why do cats do anything they do??
point, wildcat, though of all the things, i find it the oddest.
my siamese HATES my touching her paws and/or clipping
and i've done it since she was 4months old
it's a sign of independence
most dogs hate their nails/feet being touched too DC
was a groomer for many years 7 owned them my mhole life too

pumpkin pie with whipped cream makes the grid a bit better

Grid food is good for the monkey ..
Hiya! Anyone here still need clues? My last word, I am ashamed to say, was the Russian TS.
how about the end of the pa8, please?
Heya Jacs ..
back I have 45 seconds to take any more greetings to ardilla (hi tor and Jac)
pa8 ends with not her.
Or rather not she.
Hi stid.
Thanks, Jac!
test
Heya stid .. say hi for me ..
y/w Gwen.
If I had known there was going to be a test, I would have studied ..
okay, gotta zip. by all! see you tomorrow!!!
'Bye stid.
100 points for great wit, tor - you pass
You could read my bio to see if I pass your test, kje.
Mind you, that migh take you out of doing the gridfor 20 mins or so...
Any clues needed in the meantime?
Just passed half way ..
How long have ou been at it (the grid, I mean) Torg?
Good evening to my fellow babblers!How is everyone?
By the way, congratulations to all the finishers! YAY!
About an hour with time out to dish up soup ..
Hi Min!
Hello Minveryork! How are you doing? Welcome to the grid!
The cock crowed th6/24 before Judas finally betrayed Jesus.
I am well. Not going to finish tonight.Still have 23 left
But let's not try to th8/45 about that.
If we do, we will be th9/60s .
Thanks Jac! My last 8 ..
gotta go hit the pillows. see you all tomorrow!
'Night, lbd.
Goodbye lbdawger! I will see you tomorrow in the log!
Sweet dreams lbd ..
y/w, Torg. How did I guess?
Phantom words today are exist, patriot and practice
I forget those wacky Brit spellings sometimes ..
One of my phantoms was patriot. I can't remember what the othet 4 were.
Well, wacky or not, favourite and favourites SHOULD have been allowed in Sunday's grid. Favour was.
'Scuse me, Jacula, but it was after Jesus was denied th**** by Peter, after being betrayed by Judas, that the cock crowed (Matthew 26)
I stand corrected.Met. You are right.
Hey all. Here to clue if needed...
Hi Bzz.Me, too.
I'm getting my cookie recipe in for tomorrow.
What recipe is that then?
I'm a recipe junkie and have a few in my bio now, plus a holiday report.
Favorite (or favourite) cookie recipe is the theme tomorrow.
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.
What colour is it?
May I have a clue for as7, please?
I can understand that, BZZ.
Turquoise on the bottom with a white lid.
a _ what a wound goes when it goes bad, gwen.
as7 - Some people use a s***** tank instead of a sewer
Thanks again. 20 left, but bedtime is calling.
Have you seen it Tor?
I was trying to be humourous ..
Going to be with only 20 left is not an option! LOL
LOL! I know.
Perhaps you didn't realise it ..
Torg - I think BZz was, also.
Maybe it's in the parlour ..
Not only is it the box I'm missing, but some of my favorite recipes she used to make for me. =(
Oh dear! Sarcasm doesn't always work, because it's such a personal thing really, is it not?
It's not in the parlor, or the billiards room or the conservatory...
BZZ - I wasn't being sarcastic about the loss of recipesd, btw.
Maybe it's in the cellar?
i know, Jac.
r under a rockon the gravelled drive?
Perhaps in the garden?
Maybe it fell be hind the cooker ..
are those snickerdoodles, bzzz?
It better be in one of the boxes marked "kitchen" in the upstairs bedroom/storage room.
I had to pu some stuff into storage after a house flood some years ago. I'm stil missing stuff since then.
Why,yes they are, kje?
they look good
: )
I'm working on the recipe now.
Mmmm . . snickerdoodles . .
sorry to hear about your recipe box - I would be upset
See, everyone loves snickerdoodles. But no one makes them any more.
Behind the cooker is another world. Someone should write a novel about it. Enter Mr. Partchett.
Prachett, I meant. He had Alzheimer's now, but is stioll fighting it.
Thanks, kje. It has to be here somewhere.
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
Sorry for bad spelling, it's 3.30am ere and I'm getting tired again.
No prob Jac.
Why aren't you in bed?
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!
I dare not say what I think about what storage comapnies might do now.
I'm not in bed because I am awake, Bzz.
LOL! Good answer, Jac.
bummer jbv - moving seems to be dangerous...
JBV, did someone a company pack and move you/
I went to bed earlier and had a very lovely bed experience, ut that woke me up again. LOL
getting sleepy... so off to bed (and it's only 930 here jac!)
=0
Men go to sleep and women are enlivened. No wonder the fotball coaches rule no sex before a gane. LOL
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
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...
kje, sleep well. I sometimes go to sleep myself at that time.
hello i
My husband came in and said, "maybe you should pack better next time."
i'm back for my last 43
Hey, harp.
Hi Harp.
oh, that's not very helpful, BzznBea - I reproach myself enough, I certainly wouldn't want someone else criticizing me
your husband sounds like an arm chair quarterback!
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.
I'd tell him, "here's the take-out menu!"
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 -
Actually, he said it to make me laugh.
It is the strangest thing, JBV.
I lose things just walking room to room ..
know exactly what you mean, torgone :)
yep i would have laughed
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
hi all. 94 left.
need ap 5 word clue plz.
ap 5 - add sibling, not bro
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.
I would love to simplify ..
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
recipe boxes were right up there on most people's lists
I've thought about something like that, JBV. But it would take me a lifetime to decide which 100 things are the most important.
how excruciating, harp
well, i was not personally impacted, other than the chaos of living in are area where so many people were homeless,
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.
true, Bea :)
Why do you think recipe boxes are so important?
well, Jac, you could give us all much needed advice on discarding the excess we live with
ty got ap word.
people were allowed to bring pets, kids, etc. to the office, and they started bringin in things they wanted to protect
ar 5 10 last one please?
the recipes represent family traditions, so very sentimental I imagine
so one office in our building had an antique pink couch, another had a grandfather clock
Food that comfortd from the past is v. importany.
ar 5 = add same sibling
and grandma's recipes can't be replaced
ty got it jbv.
my photos are such a mess i might leave them behind on purpose! it would save me years of cataloging
as 7 please?
we had a minor flood and it was amazing how uninteresting your treasures become when they are soaking wet and/or moldy....
LOL, Harp. Make sure they are saved tto disc.
Grandma's button box can not be replaced wither.
infectious, mkg (i think)
*either
as7 = a + what a wound does when it goes bad.
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?
most people assume i would save my instruments, but actually it's the MUSIC that would be hard to replace
I have a great button box, BzznBea - my mother was a dressmaker, had a beautiful collection
it's not too bad moon, you can do it in 2 hours
ty got it.
i just looked it up, it means the exact opposite of what i thought it meant....
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....
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.
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
I used to do that, too, Bz, back in the 70s and 80s.
besides, if i'm homeless what in the hell am i going to do with a bunch of fragile wooden instruments?
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...
maybe i'd take one, so i had something to play...
by the late 60's there was just barely enough fabric in a skirt to make a bikini!
Remove the buttons and string them together, then throw them in her button box.
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.
um, would that involve knowing how to use a scanner or a camera?
The she would take the fabric and make me a new dress or jumper.
No, Harp. Just type and save to 'word' for now.
After that, Harp, contact me for how to save it off computer.
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.....
good night everyone, nice chatting with you, see you tomorrow
Night, JBV.
Time you started cateloguing your music collection, Harp.
Harp, do you know what cheese straws are?
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....
cheese straws? i guess not
is pa 8 two words? or if not clue plz?
(*important papers are soaked)*
Just an informal survey. I think they are a southern thing.
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/
PA8 is not a compund word.
No pe6. It's pe8.
pa8, I meant. Sorry.
first 5 letters are the same as the following pe6, then add mr guevarra
Don't apologise ..
wow tough grid tonight.
for some unknown reason i was listening to the yardbirds today
mkg, beign an 'artistic' type, this word was easy for me. pa** (not the present time) plus German for 'I' + a vowel.
Great group ..
loooove cheesestraws!
harp[ - I listen to randomtracks all the time, that's no crime!
Hey, Uni. See, you live in the south.
Hey, Uni. See, you live in the south.
yep
ty got it
I hadn't heard of them until we moved to NC.
cant get any of the ex words. helpppppppppppppp!!!!!!!!!!!! plz?
Well done, mkg.
Now that I have a sotve/oven, I am going to make some tomorrow.
*stove
I grew up on Louisiana cheesestraws . . . yum
Are they really spicy?
ex6/26 to remove
ex, 6 & 7, to encourage in a way that's embarassing
you can make them spicy if you want . . . my aunt made them with cayenne pepper
ex (1st|) is to cut pout sutgically.
Yes, all the recipes I have seen use cayenne.
i had basmati rice, tandoori chicken, rolled up in a jalapeno pepper for dinner
the secret is to use real butter and extra sharp cheddar
cut pout sutgically??????do i know those words?
ex6 and 7 are to advise or caution in an urgent way.
it was "what we had" in the fridge, and it was excellent!
got one of them..........not the others.
sounds a little like how you get rid of a demon
MMM. Sounds good.
exit is not in grid..............
End rhymes with 'thought'. mkg.
not getting more. have first one but not others. any other clues???????????????????????????pretty please?
so far i've found two fish in the grid tonite
boy tough grid. very tough.
No, mkg, it was an easy grid.
jac, guess i am brain dead then. cant even get the second and third ex words..........
first 100 or so were easy . . .
Maybe, MKG.
mkg, a deer is sometimes called a h***, change one letter
ex6 . . . a preacher ex***** his congregation to sin no more!
Hi Une.
une, thanks but not getting it..............dont go to church.
hey, jacs :-) (I gave Westford your message re the recipe)
Do you read, ,kg?
mkg did you get the deer clue?
ty got it finally. would never ever have gotten it if not for the deer clue jane. ty and une and jacs clues. all together bingo.
Think blackmail ..
finally, we can all relax now!
Yoops too late ..
Actuall;y, I think I might give up on giving clues and go back to bed now.
Knackered Jac?
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
