1:50 am

most of our family were in Northampton on Sunday went to dinner and to see Gaelic Storm in concert

1:53 am

2:49 am

2:50 am

yep i am here sorry got sidetracked lol

2:50 am

*seconds nikki*

2:50 am

trying to figure out which to use for my icon

hehe

2:51 am

2:51 am

ihave built an adirndik chaor for my sons fishing shack out of popsicle sticks West

2:52 am

no I have not seen that one but i have seen some awesome ones

2:52 am

oh, that fishing shack of mel's is brilliant too, west!

Sprite when i go out side with the cat i try and do it before tea so i can food reward here

her

2:52 am

I saw that but must have missed the chair there was so much to look at

2:52 am

good thinking, lady

2:52 am

I am working on making a love seat for his shack lol

2:52 am

brb putting up my icon

We started it off with food reward. Melie you are very talented

2:53 am

how are you going to furnish the SF house do you already have several pieces?

2:57 am

yes I have been collecting for it for 2 years I have everything for the kitchen and the livingroom

2:58 am

that's great how many bedrooms will it have?

2:58 am

and other various peices I watch for them at thriftstores and yard sales

2:58 am

do you ever use the kits or patterns?

2:58 am

2 a master bedroom and I cant decide if I will make a nursery or a sweing room

2:58 am

is it partly bought, partly selfmade, mel?

2:59 am

the house?

2:59 am

the stuff in it

2:59 am

first a nursery and then a sewing room when the baby goes off to college

2:59 am

yes with the exception of the fishing shack I made everything in it from scratch

Meliae that is amazing. I don't have any talent other than tapestry (which is in the b.fs car).

3:00 am

do Ihave the travel trailer pictures up in those pictures?

3:00 am

that is so wonderful! Must be great to be making it. But immensely time consuming, I bet!

3:00 am

let me go look

3:01 am

and loads of patience

3:02 am

oh yes the travel trailer is there, most of that furniture was bought

3:02 am

BBL

3:03 am

I just looked at that does your sister have a real one?

3:03 am

what is great is its tiny so it does not cost much to make them yourself, now you can pay up to 500.00 plus higher for one single little piece of artisan furniture

3:03 am

ok lynxx

3:03 am

bfn lyn!

3:03 am

she wants one so it was a joke that I "bought" her one LOL

3:04 am

wow mel, that is expensive. Sounds like there would be a market for that furniture, lol, if you wanted to make it for others.

3:04 am

I used to work in a real estate office and the owner had the doll house her father made for her and she traveled the world over getting pieces for it had it in the front window

3:04 am

wait till you guys see the babble room it is coming along quite nicely =)

3:04 am

cool, west

3:04 am

looking forward to seeing it, west!

Oh west that is wonderful

3:05 am

I could never reach that level of expertise or have the tiny tools they need for all that wood work

3:05 am

I am ok with the rough stuff but not those little chippendales and stuff no way

3:05 am

so you don't have elves and fairies that work on it after you've gone to sleep?

Puts my pc on hold music (baa stupid downloading)

3:06 am

I would lo4 to learn to do that, really. I can be so happy working on tiny things.

3:06 am

i buy unfinished furniture and kits and make them from that, and I can modify those to make them uniquely mine

3:07 am

fimo food and flowers is where it is at Sprite

Mel the trailer is sooooo cute

3:07 am

thanks mel!

3:07 am

I sitll need to put wheels on it and do a few more things to it

Ok can someone hold me back im going to go dvd shopping at amazon

3:08 am

herin STOP

3:08 am

if you look on you tube there are a lot of how to videos on making food to give you an idea and inspiration

Ok. But its in my wish list

3:08 am

did it do any good?

3:08 am

~pulls the plug on Herins puter~

Not really. HEY you do that i loose bable

3:09 am

just remember sprite 1 inch = 1 foot so measure stuff if its 6 inches in real life then make it 1/2 inch in miniature

3:10 am

no its a special unplug it only disconects you from amazon LOL

OH i have a reward when i get to 95 kilos

3:12 am

I love it that it has a set ratio, mel! So everybody can use everybody's stuff, all over the world?

3:12 am

good for you herin !!

3:12 am

tommorow I will take pictures of my old general store and upload them, you will just love it, I have it crammed full of so much stuff, LOL

3:13 am

yes we all use the same measurement

3:13 am

oh yes, please do mel!

3:13 am

I'll bet it's amazing!

3:13 am

I still have a bit of work to do on the outside, make the sign and stuff but the inside is all done

3:13 am

I love the trailer so far, mel, btw. That stuffed animal head :)

I am going to buy a pair of Doc Martins 20 ups paten leather

3:14 am

hahahah it took me 30 mins to saw that head off that thing

3:14 am

good thinking lady, to reward yourself

3:14 am

sometimes it is not the time, or even the craftmanship, mel, but the creativity! It just looks SO professional!

3:15 am

it is solid plastic who would of thought a little toy would be so well made

3:15 am

hehehe, toys can surprise you. In good and bad sense.

3:15 am

A relaxing promenade through a somewhat challenging agglomeration of letters

3:15 am

the fireplace in the fishing shack really lights up!

3:16 am

hi BabbleRabble, that relaxing part sounds nice. Good to see you.

Meliae. On my telly is the story about the Finland shooting and then i look up and i see you type in 'hahahah it took me 30 mins to saw that head off that thing'' I then had a Dexter Moment

3:16 am

I tore apart a little flciker candle and stole the wiring and tiny battery from that and put the wood around it, and when you turn it on it looks like the fire is burning

3:16 am

hahahaha Herin

3:17 am

smart, mel, and so cool.

3:17 am

hi bab nice to see you

3:17 am

*pets lady on her sweet sick head*

3:17 am

Thanks Sprite

3:18 am

stickers and such are in them

3:18 am

I guess you are over there not down there, lol

3:18 am

am playground for a nasty virus atm, BabbleRabble, but my daughter is on her way to recovery from it.

3:18 am

the Netherlands... low place... down there will do

3:19 am

over there is a war song

3:19 am

mel, like those machines you throw a coin in and a kind of ball or egg comes out?

3:19 am

do you know what I am talking about sprite?

3:20 am

yes only some of them have little platic containers with a toy in them and the top looks like the cover you would put over a cake or cookies

3:20 am

then let's stick to down there. War is not the most pleasant of your memories, I guess, BabbleRabble.

3:21 am

I never have looked at them that way, but I believe we have some of those here, mel!

3:21 am

good song though

3:22 am

ok well you take those, and you glue a tiny bead on the top for lift handle, and then when you make your goodies you take a button and cover it with a bit of paper to hide the holes, then you put that dome over the top

3:22 am

and you have a little display of a goodie!

3:22 am

oh, so smart, mel!

3:23 am

Johnnie get your gun, get you gun, get your gun, Take it on the run, on the run, on the run, Hear them calling you and me; Every son of Liberty Hurry right away, no delay, go today, Make your daddy glad to have had such a lad Tell your sweetheart not to pine, To be proud her boy's in line.

3:23 am

I have several that I have made, they look pretty good

3:23 am

I can feel a different way of looking at things coming up... checking all kinds of stuff just to see if it could be usable in a miniature :)

3:23 am

ouch, BabbleRabble.

3:23 am

ah ha I have you hooked now! you should make a house for caya!

3:24 am

for caya I would have to make a stable...

3:24 am

they have barn kits LOL

hi babble

3:25 am

hello, herin how is your onion?

ONion?

3:26 am

I need to get the cm to the inches and to the feet... google here I come.

3:27 am

I'm going to bed and I'll sing all the George M. Cohan songs I know nite all

3:27 am

30cm = 1 foot. 2.3cm = 1 inch (ish)

3:27 am

I like the idea of collecting a long time, finding little treasures and making things over a longer period

3:27 am

nini west, sweet dreams

3:27 am

well then you should make a house for you!

3:28 am

Ata!!!!!!! Hi dear, nice to see you! Thanks for the approx :)

3:28 am

3:28 am

In Greek it means "young green shoot." What feminine given name is it?

Babbler what do you mean by Onion?

3:29 am

fireworks

3:29 am

iris? would be my guess lol

3:29 am

wtg bfsog!

3:29 am

yay Bf!

yah BF

3:29 am

an onion is food ... just giving you some food for thought

3:29 am

errrr chloe?

3:29 am

Chloe

I am still not getting it?

3:30 am

yeah, sprite

3:30 am

wow

3:30 am

me either Lady

3:30 am

The name Chloe derives from the Greek Khloe, young green shoot, and is related to khloros, greenish-yellow; hence chlorophyll, which mean "green leaf" in Greek.

Ok but i dont understand what you mean?

3:31 am

well I understand latin names from my botany class but that one went right by me, lol

3:32 am

just messing with you. herein ... I was talking nonsense sorry

3:32 am

favorite dish: brain food

OK it doesn't take much to confuse me. I was talking to a friend in Sydney. I may get to see him next week . I haven't seen him since Sep 11

3:33 am

that is not ev4 2 weeks ago?

3:34 am

might find this site interesting: http://www.mootgame.com/home.html

3:35 am

goodness gracious I hope I am not getting sick I just started sneezing and got all snuffly all the sudden

3:35 am

that is one helluva difficult game, BabbleRabble! Thanks, it is interesting.

Thanks Babble

3:36 am

it does look like fun

herin-if he your boyfriend

No Niks he is a very old friend.

aww-must be close-sep 11 wasnt too long ago

3:39 am

I do speak to him via msn

would you like him as a bf?

3:40 am

she already has a great bf, our lady :)

3:40 am

well the web game is fun but I am not going to purchase it for 50.00 that is crazy for only 1008 questions

Yep already taken

hes taken-or you

Nope im taken.

3:42 am

sparklies :)

ah-i c..sorry..thats so nice to have a close male friend-quite rare

3:42 am

yay Sprite

3:43 am

you think Nik? i have lots of male friends all over the world and here at home too

3:43 am

most of my closest friends are female, what does that say about me?

3:43 am

I need to lie down for a bit, sorry to finish and run. Bye all, have a good day and/or a peaceful night. *hugs*

3:43 am

several of which have been good friends for over 20 years

3:44 am

get some rest Sprite so you can get well faster ((HUGS))

aww-im jealous-i have found they want more than friendship underneath it all

I have more male friends than girls as most of the girls i know are too bitchy. My best friend who was like my brother passed away a couple of years ok

bye sprite..take care

sorry to hear that

BYe sprite

3:45 am

really? I have always just been of the mind that dont even think about going there and have not had that kind of problem or I guess if thats what they were after they did not last as friends for very long

Thanks Niks. He was sick for a will

3:45 am

same here Herin in my opinion men are more trustable

3:46 am

im trustworthy! i have 4 really close girl friends and i dont wanna change any of those relationships

hmm,at least hes at peace now..but i think im a bit bitter and find it hard to trust mens intentions

3:47 am

that is great Bf that you have that trust in your female friends

dont tell mum what im telling you but i would like a bf but im sick of lies and being messed around

BFS i bet the girls just treat you like one of the girls

3:48 am

with men you just have to be up front and honest with them, they dont read between the lines, you be brutally honest with them and they will be brutally honest right back, that is the way they are wired lol

yeah-i think women are very sly and you truely know who your real friends are when men are around

3:50 am

herin - i dont want to talk about that night me and lipstick got up close and personal!

mel..i have done all that and it seems to bite me back

so i put up the old barrier and wonder what men really want and do they deserve my trust at all

3:51 am

and the last thing you do is look for a man, just live your life for you be happy and enjoy life and when you least suspect it will happen you will find that special person

3:51 am

when you are happy and content in your own world then love will come to you.

HEHEHE BFS you have to learn that girls will stick makeup on you given half a chance. Its what we do

i know its my issue but im so over feeling the need for a bloke anymore..id be happy on my own..i would though love to have heaps of friends m+f

3:52 am

dont look for motives heck dont even look just be happy and live your life

3:52 am

lol the makeup was obviously a joke, but i have been nail varnished a few times, but its all good. we are a close bunch, 2 guys and 4 girls

Niks stop looking they do appear

BFS they do that

arrr my downloading is taking to long

3:54 am

I talked one of my male friends into letting me put henna in his hair (he was a blonde) and it turned out the most beautiful shade of strawberrry blonde you ever saw!

3:54 am

i know! but the next day my niece saw my fingers and was all "whats that on your nails" i was like shush! i had to use nail varnish remover, oh the humanity

lol-im so over looking-they can look for me..but i would love the closeness and friendship of men

BFs that is funny.

3:56 am

one of my best freinds is the most gorgeous guy you ever saw in your life and he was miserable for years because he could not find a good woman, his looks were his downfall, he finally found a girl got married and will be having his 18th wedding anniversary soon, and she was his best friend's cousin they ended up falling in love it was sooooooo romantic

3:56 am

friends are great to have around

3:57 am

yes Bf I agree!

herin-is your hubby cool with your friendship with your male friends?you know what men can be like

My g.f introduced me to the b.f 4 years ago.

mel what a lovely story

Yes hes cool as he knows that my male friends are considered gay in my book

3:58 am

awwww mel, that's lovely

3:58 am

especially when you catch up with one of them who you havent seen for a while and you reminisce all your memories with them

3:59 am

that is where trust in a relationship comes in BF

3:59 am

huh?

Was that Huh at me?

Hi Ata

4:00 am

at meliae

My n.f and i never fight. Actually we have fought 3 major times in 4 years

4:00 am

oh I was just commenting on your comment to Herin, about the trust

Yep. We have a great relationship. He does his thing every Wednesday. Most times he goes to the mates house i don't bug him.

4:02 am

p

4:02 am

I have had more problems with the girlfriends of my male friends that I have had with my husband or boyfriends, its the females that get all jealous and weird

4:02 am

words must be at least 4 characters, kkiln :

its good to include your hubby in friend catch ups and make him feel included..well im guessing

I get really issed off with chicks that complain that their partner role plays or what ever they do when they did it before you met them.

Niks he knows everything

4:05 am

well I had best fold this load of laundry and get something figured out for the day helper to make for breakfast when she gets here

4:06 am

enjoy the grid everyone and I will see you tommorow

Enjoy Meliae

sounds like you have a really good relationship..and have your friends to..a lot of women arent"allowed" to..youve got a good balance and i guess thats the key to success

4:06 am

~ poof ~

bye mel

i have to start feeding the animals so ill be back..have fun

I find it stupid. If you cant trust someone why are you with them. I do what i think is respectful. A male friend wanted to go to the beach with me alone and i said no

yeah-thats a line a lot of women cross..you still should repect your partner and doing things alone with the opp sex can start to cause probs

4:09 am

with me, i see how good we are when we are together, so i completely trust my gf. if she wants to see her friends, be they male or female then its no problem. at the end of the day we both have our own lives. its me she comes home to every day!

My last 2 ex's controlled me. There was no way i was putting up with that crap again

exactly bf

men and women are entitled to their freedom and timeout

ok i will catch up a bit later

4:13 am

4:40 am

G'd morning Babblers! Awesome grid, right up to 118 words....

4:41 am

Hello there!

4:41 am

G'd morning Haz.

4:41 am

How can you say it's an awesome grid and that yesterday's was poopy?

4:42 am

Have you always been a contrary person, Lori? have you ever thought of getting help with it?

4:42 am

Took me all day to finish yesterday's without the list. I don't see that happening today. Lickety's already whispering sweet nothings in my ear.

4:43 am

I don't think of it as contrary per sé. More like torturously conflicted and inconsistent.

4:43 am

Ah well. If you could finish a grid without a list, it shows that it was a nice grid.

4:44 am

Was that the sort of thing the teachers wrote on your school reports?

4:45 am

Cleverly worded things like "could do better if she wasn't so difficult to work with". that sort of thing.

4:46 am

You do realise that teachers over here are no longer allowed to write anything negative, in case it damages self-esteem. The worst pupils go home with blank reports.

4:47 am

We have the same uninformative teachers comments as well. Wouldn't wanna' hurt the little darlin's esteem.

4:47 am

I loved the comment made by one of my daughter's friend's teacher 'J shows great enthusiasm but none of it is directed towards the study of physics'

4:48 am

Things like "has a creative way of responding" = "doesn't raise hand to answer questions".

4:48 am

lolol Haz. Yup you need a secret decoder ring to figure out teacher comments.

4:49 am

I wonder if they have a secret code in the way that doctors have?

4:50 am

I'm starting to think so.

4:52 am

I wish there was a t in this grid.....

good morning babblers :)

4:53 am

We once went to an open evening at the school to hear about our second daughter's progress. No problem in the subjects she was good in, but when we spoke to her biology teacher, his first words were 'Your daughter should be in television - great personality!' He continued in this vein for a while until we asked gently about her progress in biology. He just smiled apologetically.

4:53 am

Good morning Nono.

hi all :) this looks way too hard for an easy night in.

hi mrp!

4:54 am

Hello mrp - I think it's a sticky grid.

hi nono :)

hi haz :) looks narky to me... might give it a miss

4:56 am

It's certainly not a quick grid for me.

4:56 am

G'd morning Nono, mrP. Haz, it's the same here, unless you nail 'em right off the bat to avoid the coded talk.

funny enough, I can 'see' the biggies, but the little ones might be my demise

4:56 am

It's a sneaky grid, so far at least.

hi lori :)

ok, just so I can have some fun tonight... can I clue the biggies I see?

this is without checking they are real unfortunately

5:01 am

Right. I'm going to take a break, walk the dog and do some errands (none of which involve Marigolds!) and come back with fresh eyes.

5:01 am

Try them in lickety's without putting them into babble.

5:01 am

Later Haz. I'm gonna' dive back in to the grid for a bit. Later mrP!

5:02 am

Okay, off I go. Bye!

that isn't fun thou

5:03 am

hello, again. Hi MRP

bye lori and haz

hi lynxxx

5:03 am

hi Nono!

later lori and haz

hi lynxx :))

5:04 am

how have you been MRP? I've been missing you

have been ok the last couple of days... the flu is finally passing me over. Sorry to have missed you too!

5:06 am

ugh, on top of everything else - the flu! poor possum

oh lynxx, it was the nasty one that the pilgrams left behind for us... 3 weeks sick as a dog!

5:07 am

pilgrams?

allegedly, it came from the US and has spread like wildfire across the world, or so the news tells us

sorry to hear you've been ill, mrp. Flu season here hasn't started yet

oooh, I found an eye piece! well, a bit of the eye anyway Yes, allegedly, the pilgrams from the world youth day were infected with a bad virus, started in the US and went through all of the travellers, who then returned to their countries and infected all others

they were just talking about flu shots on the news its getting close to that time

5:11 am

oh, those pilgrams!

autumn and spring are very difficult times indeed nono! it seems to be getting worse and worse... don't know what we will do when antibiotics don't work anymore.

and flu shots have become very serious now, especially for the elderly. This particular variety of flu turns into pnuemonia fast!

5:12 am

lo5.14 that would be?

lynxx, eyeglass used by jewellers?

lo + ascend + 2nd vowel

5:15 am

yes.

5:22 am

hi

My 2 cents on being sick and antibiotics is that we use them to much on a common virus (which wont be killed by them)

Hands Juice and CHicken soup to the Pres

hi Herin

HI Nono

5:25 am

reckon MRP will be the resident expert on antibiotics

as6 ?? please?

Yep

hi infern :))

5:27 am

a & a lean

antibiotics work, but only in long long long term when really very sick. unfortunately, they make you even sicker and vunerable

as + cante**** or melon

thanks lynx and nono :)

Thats what i meant Mr Pres. Sorry im a bit brain dead tonight

MR Pres how is it going?

6:07 am

I miss hundreds of words, lady.

crapity crap crpa

6:08 am

A nice round 50 left, that's me for the nite. Bye everyone, great to see you all again

6:08 am

I see that the S's necessitate many plurals.

6:08 am

Sleep well, Lynxxx!

bye bye lynxxx sleep well

night Lynxx

THANK YOU SCRABBLER thank you thank you thank you

6:09 am

Lynxx, Alan Bennett is better known for his dramas and plays. He worked years ago with Dudley Moore, Peter Cook and Jonathan Miller. His Talking Heads/ Monologues are wonderful, witty and emotive.

6:09 am

Bye Lynxx. Have a good sleep.

6:10 am

Did you need a plural, lady?

Yep the plural of enemy. When you said plural S's I saw it

And Harry Potter got me a V

6:12 am

What does the enemy word start with?

6:13 am

Scrabs, did you see the clues for the 8's

6:13 am

Aha, TY, lady. No, Peri, I entered too late.

6:14 am

they were given right before you came in.

6:14 am

would you like some clues?

6:14 am

Peri, can you please send some extra reiki to Mary, her husband and the kids. She is extra weak.

Scrabbler i also remember it from buffy

6:14 am

hi scrabs ( was up in kitchen ....)

6:14 am

sure, Scrabs, is she in upstate NY

6:14 am

Hi carlee! How are you and the kids doing? Is life getting easier?

OH scrabbler is she going to be ok?

6:15 am

Yes, Buffalo suburb. TY, Peri!!

6:15 am

life is SO busy...but NO stress...how crazy is that?

6:15 am

Hi Babblers.....Peri, I have a question....how do you send Reiki and how does one receive it?

6:15 am

YW, NP

Hi Chiley

6:15 am

She is experiencing generalized muscle weakness and it is noticeable. It is likely related to one of her meds.

6:15 am

Scrabs, sorry to hear that Mary is not so good, as she was doing so well and fighting with the support form yourself , her family and others .

erk

6:16 am

Carlee, life is good then!!

6:16 am

chiley, I just think of the person I am sending it to, the person receiving it does not have to do anything

6:16 am

chiley, I just think of the person I am sending it to, the person receiving it does not have to do anything

6:16 am

life..is... definitely better scrabs...

Ok who wants an idiot kitty?

6:17 am

Carleekat, that is good to hear, and you manage to do so much:)

6:17 am

Mary's MRI on Saturday showed no return of cancer. It is believed that the weakness is secondary to one or more of her meds. Her spirit and resolve to fight remain strong!

6:17 am

I have 4 idiot kitties...

6:17 am

bbl

6:17 am

that is amazing news scrabs.... given where we were 1 year ago

Glad she is getting better Scrabbler

6:18 am

Scrabs. that's a relief for everyone. bless her and her family.

6:18 am

Yes, Carlee, people CAN chose to adapt and cope with adversity in healthy ways.

6:19 am

wow...go figure...who knew???<voice oozing sarcasm >

6:19 am

Thanks Peri for the explanation.

6:19 am

There is hope for him, I hope?

Scrabbler i am inspired by Kris Carr http://crazysexycancer.blogspot.com/

6:20 am

Mary has that book and I looked at it.

6:20 am

Carleekat ?

6:23 am

Carleekat, I was not sure to what you were referring.. so looked back at log.... cats, not a comment from anyone.

6:25 am

What a pity. Too late for Scrabbler to admire my icon.

wb Haz

6:25 am

hi haz/ george

6:26 am

Hello all - phone!

Nono all the time here

6:27 am

6:27 am

let me rephrase..she LIKES to swim

Nono was she stuck somewhere? Poor baby.

Carlee. Get a kitty harness for her

i was heartsick Carlee. I was so worried for her, she had been declawed before we got her and she is a very timid cat, afraid of her own shadow

6:28 am

she's an INDOOR CAT

6:28 am

George--what a hottie. Did you take that photo in your living room Hazel?

6:29 am

lady--I looked for you on yahoo but I have to go now.

6:29 am

Carleekat, I recall the cat dunking in the pool to keep her in, I said then she will learn and like to swim.

6:29 am

i've had 2 cats die ( aged 4 ) from bone cancer caused from blunt force trauma to the hip...I don't get my cats shots anymore....they are INDOOR CATS

she is obviously not a hunter, as she lost 3 1/2 lbs. (only weighed 9 1/2 when she got out

6:29 am

6:47 am

hi fm

6:48 am

Hello carlee :)

6:48 am

Hi FM

6:48 am

how are things with u fm?

6:48 am

hello Fmitch.. yes they were great. such talent from a quiet unassuming man.

6:49 am

and hello Katie All things considered carlee, pretty okey dokey, hope you are too

6:49 am

things pretty okey dokey here too

6:50 am

lol, getting a new routine and way of life sorted out?

6:50 am

i'm busy as hell ( as am dragged away from computer to drive son to school )..back in a few

6:51 am

Good afternoon again.

6:52 am

Well hello Haz, it's been an age *grin*

6:52 am

Hi Haz

6:52 am

Hello Katie! - yes, FM, simply ages.

6:52 am

I must revisit Alan Bennet

6:53 am

I agree about the Talking Heads. A perfect marriage of good writing and good acting.

6:54 am

Patricia Routledge's one particularly sticks in my mind

6:54 am

So rare that it comes together. The Patricia Routledge one was fantastic

6:54 am

Yes, all stiff upper lip and terribly vulnerable underneath.

6:55 am

very moving

6:55 am

I think he also wrote or co wrote the script for The Madness of King George.

6:55 am

Phantom: damsel

6:55 am

He did, elder, you're right.

6:56 am

And again, a fine actor did the work justice.

6:56 am

Patricia Routledge actually did three of the Talking Head segments. And yes, Alan Bennett wrote the play The Madness of King George IV, which was adapted into the movie

6:57 am

Yes....all that talent. I would think if you were an actor you would be queuing to be involved in his works .

6:57 am

and he was in beyond the fringe ages ago with jonathan miller, peter cook and dudley moore, which i saw on broadway

6:57 am

I am def missing something with this grid as I have yet to score an 8 (not fishing for clues btw) Ohh I only remember one of them JM, must do some googling later

6:57 am

morning! could someone tell me how many in this ugly grid today?

6:57 am

208

6:58 am

208 today

6:58 am

208 shen

6:58 am

ty

6:58 am

They changed the title of the play for the movie because Hollywood execs thought that people might think it was the fourth installment of a series of movies and not go see it because they hadn't seen the first three

6:58 am

Hi Dorens

6:58 am

puns

6:58 am

spun

6:58 am

sorry

6:58 am

..and his collaboration with others ' Beyond the Fringe in the early days.

6:58 am

And do you think the Holywood execs were right?

6:58 am

hi fmitch. and bye... need to be in school by 8:30 (which is why i am always sneaking here in the morning... should be out the door bye now)

6:58 am

FMitch - you are probably thinking of the one where she talks about the foot doctor

6:59 am

Jman, yes they did. Amazingly so.

6:59 am

Umm the one I'm thinking of is where is is leaving her house after being widowed I think

7:00 am

ah, they all are good. She has a wonderful way with his words!

7:00 am

Soldiering on was that one.

7:00 am

Judi Dench, was in one of the Talking Heads ?

7:01 am

There was also one where she wrote letters willy-nilly.

7:02 am

they should televise them again.

7:02 am

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talking_H eads_(series)

7:02 am

FMitch.. your on the ball.

7:03 am

take off some of the rubbish and replace with great dramas, as his are.

7:03 am

Haz - I'm afraid that the Hollywood execs might have actually had a cause to be concerned about that

7:03 am

Had to have a quick delve :)

7:03 am

Judi Dench did a two-person play but it wasn't in the Talking Head series.

7:04 am

BRB

7:04 am

that's a lot of Es

7:05 am

Haz, thanks for the clarification , I thought she was in there somewhere.

7:05 am

It was called Two in Torquay (isn't google great?)

7:05 am

He really has a way with realistic dialogue, and so many good actors have lined up to do his work - Judi Dench, Maggie Smith, Patricia Routledge

7:05 am

Hi kje

7:06 am

yes :)

7:06 am

When did you discover Alan Bennett JM ?

7:07 am

who is alan bennet?

7:07 am

Well, I actually work in theatre, and studied it in school, so his name came up. But my mom is actually from England, so she knew him from his Beyond the Fringe days.

7:07 am

An English playwright and actor.

7:08 am

okay...diving back in then..nothing to contribute...so say nothing at all :o)

7:08 am

Ah! am delighted to see he travels well :)

7:09 am

Whereabouts in England are the family roots?

7:09 am

darn pone ...

7:09 am

my mom grew up in Brighton, but my uncle now lives in Pyrford

7:10 am

I think he has also been offered a Knight Hood and other accolades and refused.

7:11 am

I think I heard that as well, elder

7:12 am

Pyrford in Surrey?

7:13 am

correct FMitch

7:13 am

are you familiar with it?

7:14 am

Well ain't that a thing, know it well, my ex lived there

7:14 am

Jeremy Kyle?

7:14 am

Going back ages I had a bar job in the Pyrford Social Club.

7:15 am

Lunch time for me!

7:15 am

It's a nice area

7:15 am

7:37 am

AsG - its a 6/33, starting with UV

7:37 am

oy... ok...thx!

7:37 am

tx!

7:39 am

Une - the five 8's are AL 8/45 (a plural of the AL 7/32) = everything + what birds eat (or a poppy **** muffin)

7:39 am

tx so much!!!!!!!!

7:39 am

this is a killer grid!

7:40 am

hello everyone!

7:40 am

run while you still can Annie!

7:41 am

wow, that al8 is a new one for me

7:41 am

morning, annie!!

7:41 am

Hi Une and Green....that nasty, huh?

7:42 am

EN 8/50 = the past tense of the EN 6/21 = the covering of fake teeth or a type of paint = then make it past tense for the 8/50, and then make the 6/21 plural for the EN 7/32

7:42 am

well . . . 112 so far w/out the list . . . not too hot, eh? LOL

7:42 am

ummm, well, I'm a wimp

7:42 am

I have 61 so far...... but debating the list already..... not yet

7:43 am

tx, JMann, that gave me 3 more words!

7:43 am

green, definitely not a wimp....did you do your boot camp run today?

7:43 am

darn, I had those Jmann!

7:43 am

I leave in 20 mins Annie...

7:43 am

thanks, JM

7:44 am

there are two EN 8/60's = something you send a letter in the mail in, and then the plural of something that wraps around

7:44 am

oh, good grief, thanks, JM :-)

7:45 am

ooh, those were GOOD Jmann! tx!!

7:45 am

frantic dog needing to go pee--BRB!

7:45 am

haven't gotten that uv6 yet!

7:46 am

thanks again, JM

7:48 am

the last 8 is a DE 8/50 which is the plural of the DE 7/36 = think of the painter Ta*****-Lautrec. I think it means to get rid of bugs, like lice

7:49 am

Jmann - you rock! And our school is dealing with that now! lol

7:52 am

appropriately timed then!

7:54 am

thank you thank you thank you!!

7:54 am

AsG - for the UV 6 = U + a snake's bite is V*nom***

7:54 am

it's UV + three vowels + the ending of a plural word

7:55 am

how did you get that? lol - thanks!

7:55 am

monkey type

7:56 am

Anyone need more clues before I go?

7:58 am

no thanks...I'm still plugging away - and leaving in a few mins... thanks though!!

8:00 am

good luck with the grid. there are several plurals or past tenses. And men/man is an occasional ending

9:05 am

Average morning, y'all. Can't believe ve4/7 is accepted, but "velo" isn't. It's a root. *hands on hips*

9:07 am

i tried it too judi

9:10 am

I'm feeling lots of bad vibes this a.m. One of my good friends just broke up with her boyfriend of 3+ years. The woman I work with is getting divorced. One of our detectives was just ranting about how his wife and MIL are conspiring to drive him insane. Love is not in the office air!

9:11 am

Damn. Sorry. Used a word. *slinks to penalty box*

9:12 am

Awe Hugs for Judi, there's plenty of comfort food in the PB :)

9:12 am

*nibbling chocolate covered sardines*

9:13 am

eeeew but if thats' what makes you happy???

9:13 am

Actually you used two words *grin*

9:13 am

Just kidding. Fish for penalty, chocolate for comfort.

9:15 am

*groan*. I'll shut up now and look for words.

9:15 am

But as to the essense of yr post must be hard to stay upbeat with that much going on so close :(

9:17 am

I'm not much better, FM. I was sniveling about my dying cat the other day. Sigh. Just a bad patch all around.

9:18 am

Oh Judi! Hugs all round then!!

9:18 am

Ty, FM. :) Feeling better. Nothing beats Babble lo4/7.

9:19 am

*clears throat and stffens upper lip* :)

9:19 am

Here, here.

9:22 am

Seeing as it's only you and I here *looks around*? Sorry to hear about your cat, is it age or ... ?

9:23 am

Shift over - I'm here as well.

howdy all

9:23 am

Ouch - did you have to shove quite so hard? Hi Volley

9:24 am

My 8 year old kitty has congestive heart failure (brought on by a previous high fever from thyroid problems). He's on meds and doing okay for now, but his days are very numbered at this point.

9:24 am

God gave me elbows for a reason.

oops didn't mean to hurt ya fm

9:24 am

Hello Volley.

9:24 am

LOL I think it was Haz that shoved Volley

hi haz!

9:25 am

Oh, piffle. I used another word.

9:25 am

We'll forgive you, Judi.

9:25 am

Awe sorry to hear that Judi (not that you used another word of course)

9:26 am

Hi Dee

9:26 am

Thanks, FM. I am a wreck. He is my baby. Don't know what I'll do without him.

9:27 am

I can't stiffen my upper lip anyore Juid *tremble quiver*

9:27 am

Judi, have they given you any time frame for his treatment?

9:27 am

Hi Hugs

9:27 am

You and me both. Change of subject is in order.

9:27 am

Hi FM

9:28 am

Okay, who will we talk about instead?

9:28 am

How lovely this grid is? not!

9:28 am

Haz - vet said he could go any time. Condition usually causes sudden death. Which is preferable to a slow, lingering one I suppose. As much as I love to see him when I get home every afternoon, I sort of dread walking into the house - knowing what I might find.

9:28 am

This grid is a stinker. I'm telling you, someone has hypnotised me today with stupidity.

I hate this grid; or I am just blind...

9:29 am

That's tough, Judi - I sympathise.

9:29 am

good morning everyone

9:29 am

Hi flosey

9:29 am

To quote LoriP - "This is a stoopid grid"

9:29 am

Ty, ty. I'm coping (barely).

9:29 am

Good morning flosey.

9:29 am

Morning flosey

ditto that haz HUG hugs!!!!

9:30 am

Okay, Judi, we won't dwell on it.

9:30 am

How are you Dee?

9:30 am

not that I support calling grids stoopid, but ...

9:31 am

this one is a toughie for me

9:31 am

It's a barely civilised grid. Does that sound better?

haven't blown away yet LOL... sitting here with a great cup of coffee waiting for my alleve to kick in. How are you hug?

9:31 am

Personally I blame the eeee's, I have a crick in my neck thanks to them

9:32 am

Must pop off for a bit. Boss, project, yada yada yada.

9:32 am

See you later, Judi.

9:32 am

Bye Judi

9:32 am

Well not the Spangle glittery one anyway :)

9:35 am

I am going to have to F5 to see him properly

9:36 am

Isn't he handsome?

9:37 am

I have to admit that pic does have a certain je n'e sai quoi (sp)

9:37 am

My aunt will be 81 next month, so every visit there is always special for Mom

9:38 am

I thought it would help to keep spirits up with this<--contemptible grid.

I bet. Is her sis pretty healthy?

hey all..pls clue for sl,7

9:39 am

sl7 is a plural

9:40 am

There is something about the salt/pepper hair.... sigh

You're welcome.

my minds gone

must have recovered pretty well then?

9:41 am

I wonder if I do the I spy with my little eye act again Ata will suddenly appear?

9:41 am

yes, she has, thank God

9:41 am

hello again... oh haz, we're tired from this morning's drills!

9:41 am

haz - LOVE the updated profile - every bit of it!

9:42 am

All my aunts are in their 8o's now

9:42 am

Hello As. THAT's why this grid is so hard. I'm physically exhausted.

9:42 am

AsG - any chance I could join up to this work out on my behalf?

9:42 am

Thank you, As. Others will tell you that I'm tolerably fond of the man.

9:42 am

as in, by proxy, FM?

9:42 am

*ignores the fact that AsG sould be sent to the PB*

9:42 am

Yes!

my mom's sis' all lived until their late 90's; she was the only one who died "young" at 74

9:43 am

I know you dig Clooney, I me4/5t the prose about babbling

9:43 am

Does that mean that the effects of proxy exercise might be diminished?

9:43 am

My mom will be 74 in Dec

9:43 am

could I please have a clue for ne7?

9:44 am

Ah, I get you now, As. I am of the old school and sometimes suffer with sore hands from sitting on them.

9:44 am

duh, that was my last word that I entered before going to workout! sorry fm - nice catch

9:44 am

Oh no - I will offer to do something that will keep the energy going - say "Needlework perhaps" *giggle*

9:44 am

ne7 - plural (important) fate/destiny

9:44 am

All of Mom's sibs are still alive and kicking... doing fairly well healthwise

9:44 am

FM, you'll have to negotiate w/Haz. I'm happy to share though!

9:44 am

thanks Haz

9:45 am

You're welcome, flosey.

9:45 am

I guess that makes me "new school"?

9:45 am

It must be great to have big families with many 'oldies' still alive

9:45 am

Anybody who would offer to do any sort of needlework deserves to have exercise by proxy.

9:45 am

I so enjoy their company... I jump on any chance I get to spend with my aunts/uncles

9:46 am

I take it you don't do any sort of needlework, Haz?

9:46 am

As, you can be new but have old school values. We have a saying that if somebody is sensible then they possess 'a titter of wit'.

9:47 am

Bzzn. I avoid needles and thread as much as possible.

9:47 am

Haz's skills are directed to other areas!

9:47 am

pehaps just a titter - but I speak my mind - which gets me in trouble here and there - and, once in awhile, respect!

9:47 am

Fireworks

9:47 am

yay flosey! wtg!!

9:47 am

congrats flosey

9:47 am

Knitting I can tolerate, sewing is pure torture. Husband is a dab hand at sewing on buttons etc.

9:48 am

I'm going to the list....

9:48 am

Congrats flosey!!

9:48 am

WOOHOO! FLOSEY!

9:49 am

As, the beauty of the log - tolerance of other people's foibles etc - can sometimes be its downfall as well.

9:49 am

Indeed!

9:49 am

I don't know what I would do if I didn't know how to crochet or embroidery.

9:50 am

hi everyone

9:50 am

9:50 am

Don't do a lot of embroidery except on crazy quilts.

9:50 am

9:50 am

Hey, Boo.

9:50 am

Hi Boo

9:50 am

hi FMITCH

9:51 am

HI FLOSEY

9:51 am

I thoroughly admire other people's handiwork, Bzzn. I just don't have any gifts in that direction.

9:51 am

I understand that, Haz.

9:51 am

Hi to whomever else I missed

9:51 am

hi boo

9:51 am

Ah but your culinary skills Haz !!

9:52 am

Enjoy your reading, flosey.

9:52 am

9:53 am

Haz jugs old memory of teacher called Miss Froe - "Where is your thimble FMitch?" "You can't sew a hem without a thimble"!

9:53 am

Hi Babblers....are we out of videos or does it just not work anymore?

9:54 am

Hello chiley - Lickety hasn't updated videos lately, maybe he's too busy - I know babblers have been sending him details.

9:54 am

9:55 am

Nodding agreement - your son looks so proud and loving.

9:56 am

He is SO happy. He is providing daddy day care 3 days a week.

9:56 am

I love to hear good father stories - so often men are kind of dismissed as being useless - I think fatherhood can be wonderful for both father and child.

9:57 am

It's just such a beautiful/simple compsition.

9:57 am

It's sad whne fathers do not take an interest while children are infants.

9:58 am

10:33 am

yeah hugs

congrats on persevering; getting windier by the minute; surf is gorgeous; lost one shingle last night, gusts to 40 or 45 today, then same tomorrow... so far I don't think they have predicted any higher winds (which is what always worries me)

10:33 am

Fingers croosed then Volley

10:34 am

And the surf?

10:34 am

Oops typing has gone again

good afternoon everyone!!!

10:34 am

it's not sunny and beautiful like summer, but it is beautiful nonetheless; daughter is working out; hubby is attempting to take a walk on beach (without getting blown away)... surf... shoot... can't remember how high they said... 9, 12... crumbs can't remember right now

you too hug... cya the flip

10:35 am

Hey, red. How was breakfast?

10:35 am

Don't recognise those titles bf Hi red!!

It was Ok, sort of wierd, because I have no contract anywhere yet, so ifI dont get one, I am leaving in 12 days...

10:35 am

i had American Pie and Morris the Cat chorus alternating in my head yesterday, and what is the first word i see today? Here go the good ole boys again...

10:36 am

lol poor taste on my part i am sure

10:36 am

Do you live near the beach Volley?

10:36 am

phantom: unev4

I'm sitting on 3rd floor with patio door open, listening to surf/wind and watching it through the window w/o getting blown away. I can always find something to entertain me. FM, we are on vacation in the Outer Banks for a week; then to Pittsburgh for 2 days, then back to Indiana on Monday

10:37 am

Yes, that one has bugged me too, hursh.

first time we ever visited in the fall, usually come in August... not sure if we would come again in fall or not

10:37 am

and like solve, evolve, etc

10:37 am

Oh Volley! that sounds wonderful, I so want to live near the sea

10:38 am

& a nor'easter brewing, how many more days

10:38 am

problem is no 2 yrs are alike

10:39 am

see you all later

10:39 am

tc

I love the water so much; grew up on a lake; live on a river; and love vacationing on or near water; hubby doesn't totally "get" that

10:39 am

I was about to move to a place near the coast and then all hell broke out in the financial sector and we all know the rest of the story from there.

10:39 am

Byeee bf

ditto that fm... can kiss those ideas goodbye for awhile...

10:40 am

I'm like you, Dee. The first time I saw the ocean, I knew that was "home".

10:41 am

Yup, but sigh!

tough to even describe in words, isn't it Bea?

10:41 am

It is.

10:42 am

I remember leaving and I could not stop crying.

10:42 am

Oh it's just a feeling of rightness and of coming home. The bonus is watching the seasons change in all their glory.

10:42 am

And me from a landlocked state.

I felt similarly when we went to Niagara Falls.. sounds corny, but these stellar creations cry out God's majesty and "hugeness" when I look at them. I just keep thinking, "wow"...

I keep thinking of the verses that say He put the stars in the sky and named them... then I see these huge waves rolling in.... amazing

10:46 am

george macdonald wrote a great line about seeing the waves and the sun glinting on the ocean and thinking about the nature of a Being who "fringed the garment of his thought" with such a display

10:46 am

i thought that was an amazing way of putting it.

oh, my, that gave me goosebumps

10:47 am

Me, too.

perfect description

1:21 pm

phone - bbs

1:21 pm

but looks like the nor'easter will cancel at least one of the wkend gms

i hate nor-easters

1:22 pm

This is my first.

after actually being in the 1993 one that went all the way up the eastern seaboard

1:22 pm

will you get wet from this one?

who used the icon for a recipe today?

1:22 pm

We should.

1:23 pm

Obviously not me, Nance.

lol & hey bzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

1:23 pm

was porcupine meat originally used?

1:24 pm

would take a lot

1:24 pm

MMMM! Porcupine meat.

i have no idea dan, but if it was, that would be quite a feat pulling out all the needles.

1:25 pm

You can use them for toothpicks for the meatballs.

1:25 pm

good for toothpicks after

1:25 pm

great minds, bea

they are one of the simplest dishes to make & they tastle like you slaved over a hot stove all day.

lol dan

& lol bzzzzzzzzzzz

so; how's the world treating y'all?

1:26 pm

i have to avoid onions, but luckily can use garlic instead [friend has to avoid both]

even onion powder?

i use vidalias when possible - if they are not available, i always use sweet yellow onions

1:28 pm

yup, loved fr onion soup as child, but have to avoid now

that's yummy, too. do they disagree with you, or are you allergic to them now?

1:29 pm

they say 25% of population actually has at least an onion sensitivity, but most don't realize it - I get severe abdominal cramps w/in hour after anything w/ onions

i've never tried them with garlic, but it would be worth a try - they are really great

1:30 pm

what's rice/meat ratio

i usually use two pounds of hamburger & then just pour rice in to cover the meat - i make enough for two days - they are even better the next.

you want enough rice to thicken the soup

it's one of those i've made forever, so i just wing it.

1:32 pm

prob being stupid........last un 6 - help, please!

ok - i'm going in

1:32 pm

bye

i bought the box of 10 jigsaw puzzles at wallyworld - i'm working on the next to the last one now - i'm getting them framed when i'm done.

i have one blank tile - the e in the left column. can't seem to find words unique to that beginning tile

hey josh

1:47 pm

i bought a large felt sheet to do them on & roll up when needed; when son was small often worked 1000 piece ones in middle of floor

1:47 pm

they are en's Josh - and have to do with a type of pain

the puzzles where a collection of thomas kinkaid's work

1:48 pm

paint that is.... though paint can be a pain

1:48 pm

a glossy finish - for fingernails or pots

1:49 pm

great pics then

yes they are - i brushed "save a puzzle" on the back of each. then took enough tin foil to cover the back & pressed it down firmly. now they won't come apart & are all ready to be framed.

they are beautiful. One was a snow scene. i was disappointed in that one because if is very faint in color & difficult to see the print.

ty cadfan

i'm going to use non-glare glass since they front's are shiny. i want to get them professionally framed since i only spent $15 for all 10 puzzles

hey cad

anyone post recipes sine i asked last time?

1:58 pm

well, our most popular dish is pretty simple- fresh salmon filets, top with dijon mustart/minced garlic mixture [we spread heavily], played in foil shaped close to filet size & add white cooking wine [or marsala], pop in oven at 3:75 for20-30 mins depending on thickness

that sounds wonderful

1:59 pm

in haste -- here's a recipe :)

hey nance, and lyn!

2:38 pm

al 7/32?

2:38 pm

nm I got it

2:39 pm

great recipe, nance, will certainly try it! Not sure we have that so4 here though... is it a normal tomato so4?

2:40 pm

lol - guess what word I just had trouble with Sprite

2:40 pm

cream of tomato so4, sprite

2:40 pm

*giggle* coincidence can be so nice

2:41 pm

it's condensed, you normally add a can of water to it to cook it, so it's "thicker" than a just heat canned one

2:41 pm

thanks Ata! A creamed one then, I believe we have those.

yes & i prefer campbell's - it adds a slight sweet flavor none other do - i like plenty of sauce so i can put it on both the meatballs & mashed potatoes

2:42 pm

ah, ok!

i can't recall - it's just the regular tomato soup usually right next to the chicken noodle - it may be "cream of"

i hope you enjoy - i love them & they are so easy to make

2:42 pm

you should be able to get campbell's or something similar. knorr maybe?

2:42 pm

I'm down to 50 to go, but I promised myself I'd leave at that point to finish my baking -- muffins for a ladies retreat this weekend -- bacon cheese, ham & pepper, bell pepper & cheese, lemon blueberry, lemon poppyseed, banana, pear & cheddar. I'm half way. Happy babbling!

i have other recipes i love also - we ought to have this theme again - now that you have plotted out the icon course - lol

2:43 pm

pear and cheddar? recipe please!!

2:43 pm

just remember to 1/2 the water if you use a pkg mix

bye fruit - tc & hb

hey atalante

2:43 pm

ooh Fruit...they sound wonderful. Bye and have a great weekend

2:43 pm

Knorr for sure, but that is not condensed

2:44 pm

as Dan said, just halve the water with a non-condensed soup

2:44 pm

Ata -- I'll be sure to post it on my food blog, but might not get to it until after the weekend. It's a new recipe, so I hope it turns out well!

2:44 pm

FIREWORKS!

2:48 pm

i mus make a trifle for int'l dinner @ church sat eve [over 200 cooking], hope I can find a good cake to use

i also use the same ingredients to make stuffed green peppers - covering the top with the so4 mixture - they turn out great also

2:48 pm

*hugs Ata back* Looks like the gods are against my translating, lol... but I will defy them. As soon as I am well again.

feel better sprite - hugggggggsssssssss

2:49 pm

prices are ridiculous; I remember 5/1.00; luckily they are on sale every 9 weeks

i know - but at wallyworld? that's what surprised me. i've never paid that for tomato so4 in my life. I'll check the Food Lion.

i don't know if y'all have noticed as i have in this area that less people are grocery shopping & when they do, they aren't buying very much.

2:51 pm

we don't have that here - FdLn, Giant,Kroger, HarTtr,WleFd

2:53 pm

Aldi - german supermarket - have just opened stores here 0 really making an impact - cheap cheap cheap

2:54 pm

Wally World is evil. Walk away from the doors, children. Walk away from the doors.

2:54 pm

2:55 pm

hey Flask, nice wee flag

deposit on carts?

charities here have cottoned on to selling coin shaped discs for using in shopping trolleys

2:55 pm

Wal Mart hires illegal aliens and is currently being sued in a class action by a huge number of employees who were not paid overtime for their work.

2:55 pm

***pant pant 75 left

that's been going on for years - i only go if necessary - i wanted to check the food prices

go green go

has anyone been to ALDI's?

2:57 pm

ALDI's sounds like the german version of IKEA (only with food).

ALDI is really good - I like that definition Judi

how so chrissie? i may want to go then.

I got some new wheel trims for my car from ALDI this week, together with my groceries

they sell car parts? lol

2:58 pm

Lol, Chrissie! One stop shopping. Bisquits and bling.

how are the prices?

nance, their prices are low and the quality overall is good

lol judi

2:59 pm

Aldi specials are great too - husband got a heavy cast iron enamlled french pan for $20-$3o

well ok then - it's ALDIs i go then

2:59 pm

Nance = you won't get your usual 'brands'

3:00 pm

Do they have ALDI in the states? I've never heard of them.

that's ok - i'm gamey - lol

here in North Carolina there is one

3:00 pm

well i'm def. a sale shopper; children start "mom can we get..,oh, it's not on sale, never mind"; just plan by the 6 & 9 week sale rotations

that's their scheduled sale times?

3:01 pm

*popping off to internet to search for ALDI*

where to you pay your quarter to use a cart - where the carts are or when you enter the store?

ok - me too - bb

3:02 pm

that sounds a bit like Trader Joe's from the north east; I hear they're expanind down this way [go w/ aunt to NJ one on visits]

3:03 pm

the cart itself has the thingy for the coin

hey lynx, my hubby likes ALDI too - he treated me to my wheel trims, lol

3:04 pm

which nj one ndan?

3:04 pm

I'll be dipped. There's more than one ALDI in Philadelphia. Not too far from where we live. Interesting.

I love a bargain - if I won the lottery I would still shop in the sale, only in posher shops

3:04 pm

Trader Joe's aint cheap, though.

3:05 pm

in bergen county - not sure which township [she doesn't drive, so i just follow her directions of left/rights]

3:06 pm

paramus? i have been there. and they are cheap judi, on many items, you just need to know which one

3:06 pm

oh, they have a bunch in va too - pretty spread out, closest is about 45 mins

3:06 pm

which ones, i mean

3:06 pm

here in the DC area, trader joe's and wegmans are the low-price places with selection

3:06 pm

Ken goes a bit crazy with the weekly specials, he only time I have seen him get up early to be there at opening time. The specials move real fast. They even end up on EBay can you believe! (not from us)

3:07 pm

hi DC & Dorens

3:07 pm

hi, lynxxx :)

3:07 pm

hi lynx

3:08 pm

aldi's is low-price, but very limited selection

3:08 pm

there's an aldi in alexandria & 2 in woodbridge; prob closest to DC; another in Danville if you want a day trip

3:08 pm

one in Langley Park, MD, too.

3:09 pm

many in former Grand Unions, interestingly

3:09 pm

3:33 pm

related to the vascular middle layer of the eye

3:33 pm

is the DE 7/8 difficult or just hiding really well?

3:34 pm

thanks seain, I will definitely ask on the next blue moon... with school expenses, travel is going to be even more rare than it used to be.

3:34 pm

3:34 pm

LOL sounds like I would like Mary

3:34 pm

6:10 pm

red, how was the breakfast "date" ???

6:11 pm

did he chew with his mouth open?

6:11 pm

LOL monkey

No he did not. He was very very polite, paid and gave me an oddly sexy hug, if such a thing exists in the end...

6:11 pm

did he pick up his cereal bowl and drink the milk?

6:11 pm

left corner u?

But I have to leave in 2 weeks and looking at the job board I am going somewheres yukky, sooo.

6:11 pm

hmmmmm..... pondering oddly sexy hug...... where were you ???

So it was a little wierd...

outside the resturaunt. it wasnt overtly sexy but...

6:12 pm

are we talking bone ????

6:12 pm

where are you going? did he ask you out a again? are you going to MD? did he explain how he never learned how to dial a phone?

He was really tired he has done something like 9 nights in a row...I was extremely worried about the job...

The job in Maryland was filled by someone who could come a week earlier...

6:13 pm

that was on my list.... and yet I did not ask it (practicing restraint) you kill me monkey!

6:13 pm

well, to me, a "sexy" hug might involve some bone

No no, it was very nice. He is nice. We just chatted about stuff, Africa..Russia...

6:14 pm

I love you monkey!!! you make me laugh!!!

6:14 pm

hahahaha

6:14 pm

to me a sexy hug would have subtle hip grindage

6:14 pm

pug! you naughty girl

6:14 pm

good red.... sounds like a nice 1st date... so will there be more???

6:15 pm

yes that would be me! :)

No it was more like the proximity of his face to mine, and such...

6:15 pm

I can see red blushing all the way in dallas!!!

6:15 pm

hip grindage is so nice :)

I dunno kje...

I mean I am leaving in like 14 days.

its project runway night!!!

7:20 pm

hello everyone :)

7:25 pm

hi everyone!

7:26 pm

hi dawger

7:26 pm

hi nan

7:29 pm

hello, back to find my last 11 words

7:30 pm

still have 83 to go here and may be off for the list soon

7:30 pm

hi peri, cybernan, lbd

7:30 pm

hi monkey

7:31 pm

i still have 97 to go... don't think i will finish. I haven't done my paperwork yet for today

7:31 pm

question for anyone to answer: what would I wear to a wedding held at 11am on a Sunday ????

7:32 pm

and it's in October

7:33 pm

dress or suit -- what kind of temperatures?

7:33 pm

well, the temp could be in the 50s, 60s, 70s or perhaps low 80s

Dress with a sweater added on if its cold.

7:34 pm

what color? it seems too somber to wear black at 11 on a sunday morn.. that seems like a funeral

7:34 pm

or a wrap of some sort

7:35 pm

I certainly wouldn't wear black to a wedding -- but maybe that's just my age showing!

7:35 pm

you would wear a suit or a nice dress (nothing fancy) with a wrap

7:35 pm

i would wear black if it's an evening or formal-dress wedding

7:36 pm

thry will probably serve brunch or lunch so it's very toned down from a late afternoon or evening function

7:36 pm

It used to be an insult to the bride or groom to wear black to a wedding, but I realize that now even the bridal party is sometime dressed in black -- still can't get by that one!

7:36 pm

i'm leaning toward a dress with sweater

dress with sweater...its the way to go.

7:37 pm

yes, the last wedding i went to had black bridemaids dresses... strapless

7:37 pm

floral print with sweater...

7:37 pm

anyone and everyone can wear black--you be the sta dout with a muted color or sedate print!

7:37 pm

OK thanks all for suggestions

7:37 pm

standout!

7:37 pm

I went to a wedding a few years ago where the bridesmaids wore black!! I didn't like it but no one asked my opinion before hand :-)

7:38 pm

a black on black wedding would be very formal if done right. otherwise it's just odd. IMHO

7:39 pm

my new daughter-in-law's attendants wore black -- but being the mother of the groom, I had to wear beige and keep my mouth shut!

7:39 pm

I wore black to one wedding.. it was a bartenders wedding...we all wore black cuz we all had to work the wedding! lol

7:40 pm

7:45 pm

7:45 pm

7:45 pm

bye peri -- congrats?

7:46 pm

hmm, wonder if that was a subtle hint, dorens

7:47 pm

this is hard!

7:57 pm

i've been to a lot of weddings, but i don't think i've ever attended a jewish wedding. odd, i have lots of jewish friends, and grew up with a lot of jewish kids.

7:57 pm

I've been to several of those too. I'm wasn't sure, as you weren't dressed "modestly".

7:57 pm

plural the em4.5, nan

ad 5, 14

please?

7:57 pm

ty

7:58 pm

7:58 pm

1. a + perceive 2. ad + males

7:58 pm

supper ready -- bbl

7:58 pm

One of the best weddings I went to was a Sephardi orthodox wedding, where the groom's familiy was from Syria and greece. The married an woman from a modern conservative background, so the wedding was somewhat liberal, but the dancing was separate, and the women did incredible dancing, very close to belly dancing, with each other.

yes thanks! I had 1)

7:59 pm

wow, interesting eva

hi all! hi doren!

8:00 pm

hi owl

8:01 pm

And it was the best food, hands down, I've ever had at a wedding.

hey, peeps

8:03 pm

evening, tyger :)

8:04 pm

my brother once went to a wedding of a Lubuvitcher rebbe held at the armory in NYC. The entire wedding, except for the bride and groom at the chuppah, was separated-either by a mehitza or in separate rooms. My brother didn't see his wife for the entire evening.

about to break (late) for dinner, with 13 left. thought I'd stick my nose in here :)

hey, jes

8:05 pm

have a good supper :)

eva, that sounds fascinating. I've got a close Jewish friend (raised secular), and I've worked for or with many Jewish people, but never been to a wedding

thx, jes. yeah, I'd better scoot. still gotta fix it, and don't want to nuke an entree

8:05 pm

i was once at an orthodox wedding in brooklyn. the whole nine yards.... fascinating cultural education

back in a while

8:06 pm

i have slacker dinner tonight; left over chinese

8:06 pm

and i love sephardic food.... ever have sephardic charoses for passover? oranges, dates, bananas, cocoanut, almonds mmmmmmmm

8:07 pm

Part of the time I find it fascinating and part of the time oppressive. Oh yes, Sephardi charoset is soooo much better than Ashkenazi!!!

8:08 pm

hi tyger, hi TO

8:09 pm

hi tyger and bye sorry

8:09 pm

I made an entirely Sephardic seder menu once, from a Moroccan cookbook. That was when I was much younger and energetic about cooking for days.

8:09 pm

i'll be at your house for the next seder if you do it again eva

8:10 pm

hi, jes!

8:10 pm

evening, pam

8:10 pm

cute dog jes

8:10 pm

I just don't enjoy the whole gender separation thing--the theory, the practice, the everything... don't much enjoy the wigs--or the chador in Muslim faith, either...

hi dawg

hi dawg

8:11 pm

thanks, doren :) know anybody that wants him?

8:11 pm

you're not that far away. But now go to my neighbor's house. They do a vegetarian seder, and i always bring the dessert....usually a chocolate hazelnut torte, but last year I did a chocolate cheesecake, using ground nuts for the crust instead of graham crackers.

8:12 pm

good luck in finding him a home, jes. he looks like quite the companion.

8:12 pm

sorry jes, wish i did. I have a friend who probably would, but right now is dealing with her old dog (a rescue) with major arthritis and can't take a new one just yet

8:13 pm

i'm expecting a call tonight from someone who inquired about him earlier this week. unfortunately, i think the call is going to be "decided to go with the dog that i looked at today" instead of "can i meet him tomorrow"

8:13 pm

sorry, kes, foster is still in the midst of HW treatment...

8:13 pm

I share many of those feelings Pam, and have had endless conversations with orthodox friends about how it's not a question of "inferiority", but of respect, etc, but I'll feel a lot better about it when women can participate equally in creating halacha. Then, if they choose to maintain the separateness, modest dress, etc, more power to them.

8:14 pm

yes, halacha would be nice 8-). It's not respect, it's men's self control. And I HATE it. Cover up so you will not be enticing towards men. Give me a break

8:14 pm

oh, jes. i hope they decide on him.

i fail to see how the first two le words are phonetically possible...

8:15 pm

I don't cotton to lesbian separatism, either, so I am consistent

8:16 pm

yeah, me too dawg. i've got another one now too--a border collie with a broken femur. just put it back together yesterday, because she'd been at the clinic for 4 days and nobody'd claimed her :(

8:16 pm

owl? the first two le words? what am i missing? they are normal words

8:16 pm

that makes 3 permanent dogs, and 2 (hopefully!) temporary

8:17 pm

oh, jes. People stink...

they may be but not to me. at least, not yet.

8:17 pm

well, people who abandon their dogs. Not the people who save them

8:17 pm

wish i could take one off your hands, jes. i so miss having dogs in my life.

8:17 pm

yeah. i figured ;)

8:18 pm

the lady that found the border collie donated $200 towards patching her up, but she's also already got 3 dogs at home and doesn't need/want another

8:18 pm

gotta go, neighbor wants to visit. *sigh* see you all tomorrow.

8:18 pm

8-), jes

8:18 pm

it was nice of her to donate, jes

8:18 pm

have a good night, dawg :)

8:18 pm

Ciao, lbd

bye dawg

8:18 pm

night dawg

8:18 pm

Of course they would argue that it's a sign of men's weakness. I have worked hard to be able to see this from the other perspective, since I have known many very complex, bright and strong orthodox women - but ultimately have just jad to say that it's their choice, but not one I could be comfortable with. One of the things which I find distressing is the message it gives to little girls, when their brothers are allowed to run around in shorts, whatever, while they have to cover up.

8:20 pm

pam-we may have gone through this before, but where are you in Mass?

8:20 pm

EXACTLY, eva. I have tangled with the issue, too, but I have come to the conclusion that men need to learn self-control and self-respect, too. It's all about property---the kids are jewish because mom is and we always know who mom is. Well, in 2008, it's time to modernize...

8:20 pm

In Boston, eva

8:21 pm

Hello Babblers!

8:21 pm

evening, scrabbler :)

8:21 pm

Hi, scrabs!

8:21 pm

I live in Vermont most of the time, but we still have our place in JP, and I'm there one week a month, and may be there for a few months this winter.

hi scrabs

8:22 pm

hey scrabs

8:22 pm

where in JP, eva? That's where I live

8:22 pm

Is Jess still here? Yes, there you are. I had a bat visitor flying around in my house (cathedral ceiling) a few weeks ago. What an adventure that was. It got in through an incompletely closed screen door--I heard a noise and assumed it was the raccoons visiting.

8:23 pm

near hyde square

8:23 pm

I live in Sumner Hill area

8:23 pm

bats are so neat :)

8:23 pm

COOL, Eva. That's where I get my hair cut

just got back to PC, and was about to dive back into the grid, when I saw scrabs. hey, scrabs

8:23 pm

WOW, scrabs....

8:23 pm

I go to Exposre by Noelle. Where do you go?

8:23 pm

I kept telling myself that (I could "hear" you talking to me) when it was divebombing all over past my head.

didja get my email about Ben? I didn't get an answer, if you sent it

8:24 pm

Tyger, you got my e-mail?

8:24 pm

how'd you let her out?

8:24 pm

Salon Ultra in the Square, eva

no, scrabs, unless you sent it today. haven't checked yahoo mail yet tonite

8:24 pm

I get my hair done at Supercuts--$12.95, or sometimes there is a special for $10.95.

8:25 pm

I THINK I sent you an e-mail, tyger.

8:25 pm

Is that the place next to Zons? Never tried it. I'm chicken when it comes to hair cuts. I've stayed with the same person for a long, long time.

8:25 pm

I am too hair picky--even as I let it go a few weeks too long between cuts--Scrabs... for Supercuts

8:25 pm

Yes, eva. that's the one

I useta be scared stiff of bats. one got into my apt when I was pregnant, and I walked down to a neighbor's to get her husband to get it out. Now, I understand their ecological value, and had the chance to protect one on my last job, once :)

8:25 pm

Noelle was at Fresh Hair, right? Or am I thinking of someone else

8:26 pm

Jess, I opened the back door and at first I thought it went out but then I saw it hanging in the back hallway. That really creeped me out, but I told myself "bats are neat, Jess said so".

8:26 pm

I like bats well enough, OUTSIDE, LOL

hi does anyone have a clue for second ad 5 please?

8:27 pm

we had one in the house years ago. my then six year old son told me there was a big black butterfly in his bedroom, and i just humored him, until the next nite when my husband had taken the kids out for ice cream and it was in my bedroom and i was all alone in the house. swoop, swoop, swoop

8:27 pm

heheh. next time, open the door and throw ping pong balls from near the bat out the door. sometimes they'll follow them. helps if you turn off the house lights so you don't attract a bunch of moths inside for the bat to hunt

so, scrabs, can you send it again, or do you want to give me the info now?

8:27 pm

Exactly. Then he opened up his own place along with Adamis. He's quite a trip, but I have Adamis cut my hair. And last year, with the great advice from many Babbler's I began coloring my own hair with Loreal, instead of paying Noelle big bucks to do it. Comes out just as well, for 7.95

2nd ad5: compound word + males who work at selling stuff

8:27 pm

I was down on my knees and tilting my head as the bat came diving down like a WWII plane over and over.

ty tyger

scrabs, you were very brave. of course, the bat was scared, too :)

8:28 pm

I don't color, just pay too much for the cut, LOL...

yw, owl

8:29 pm

I like Jen. Before her, I went to Centre Cuts forever--followed them to Roslindale for a while

8:29 pm

I went to noelle after someone at Fresh Hair turned me blond. I was in tears. I've always been dark, although now my real color is mainly gray.

scrabs, send email (again?), please? I hafta go tend stuff on the stove

8:29 pm

I have never heard great things about Fresh Hair...

8:30 pm

OK, tyger

8:30 pm

anyone have a clue for the en7/44 please?

8:30 pm

I'm really bummed that Bella Luna is moving. I now it won't be that far away, but it's been great having them right at the end of the block. I guess the landlord just jacked the rent way up....it will be interesting to see, in this economy, if they can get anyone else to rent it.

8:31 pm

it holds a letter, minus the last vowel, dorens

8:31 pm

is the 'x' used at all in this grid?

to wrap around - or what you use to mail a letter in

8:31 pm

I know, it seems it has been there forever, eva...

8:31 pm

that's the 8, TO :)

8:32 pm

oh. and the 7 too! you're so clever!

8:32 pm

cluem for se 5/16 please

no it's not jes. for me it's the 7/44 alt spelling

le7/36 please?

8:32 pm

thanks owl. that took me too long.. i must be tired

8:32 pm

have you ever tried that really expensive little place-5 table or whatever it's called? I keep reading good reviews, then looking at their menu and thinking that no meal can be worth that much.

8:33 pm

it's the 8 TOO, TO :) thanks

how's school?

8:33 pm

1o tables. I went on the prix fixe or some such night when it was 25 dollars

8:33 pm

school is great.. but balancing school, the Y, meetings, the beau, and BABBLE.... not enough hours in the day

8:34 pm

I'll be going to Jp on Tuesday, so when we're babbling next week we'll be only blocks away. Was 10 tables all it was reputed to be?

well then give up the y

8:35 pm

Okay, 60 left and I'm about ready to give up on this grid!! Nasty thing.

8:35 pm

no way. i would be a blimp without it, and the yoga is good for me.

le7/36 please?

8:37 pm

the guys in front owl ( you still didn't find the le4/5????)

8:37 pm

it is nasty eva, i totally agree... monkeyed some real crazy words today

8:37 pm

cool, eva. It was delicious, by the way....

8:38 pm

This is an evil grid

well i had the plural only, no wonder! ty

8:38 pm

No wonder I am stuck with 70 words.

i am totally frustrtated, in pain and having a hot flash. i think i won't finish tonight

8:39 pm

What is the pain from?

8:39 pm

sorry to say this then, owl, but fireworks

8:39 pm

hmm. stalling out here. think i'm going to go find pajamas, ice cream & cake, and return in a few minutes

8:39 pm

Yahoo Doren!!

8:39 pm

Good to know-maybe I'll give it a try some time. I do get very bored with the food choices here in Vermont. Since being Jewish is about as ethnically exotic as it gets, the food tends to be pretty white bread.

8:39 pm

yay, dorens

yay, doren! whoo-HOOOOO

8:40 pm

I'm in awe dorends!

8:40 pm

I ne4 to go up to bed as I am nodding off. Good luck all firework seekers!!

8:40 pm

need to go pay some bills, etc. night all. see you tomorrow. good luck with this stinker

8:41 pm

ciao, dorens

scrabs my back hurts, around the kidneys

later doren! bye scrabs!

8:41 pm

Hey there y'all!Need a clue for en6-21 please. Thanks

8:42 pm

Hmm, take care of yourself, Owl!

8:42 pm

Time for me to turn in too. Merp just stalked off to go to the basement to find something to kill. The poor mice are beginning to come in from the cold and are greeted by the feline Attila the Hun.

8:42 pm

shiny paint gapeach

8:42 pm

ciao, eva

8:42 pm

8:43 pm

Thanks Eva.

8:47 pm

8:49 pm

oh drat. the grid didn't solve itself while i was gone.

8:49 pm

thnx - had the singular, but didn't see how to get the plural

8:51 pm

bye eva

does anyone know why Lickety isn't putting up videos?

a bunch of people have told me they sent some - and I surely have

very first sl word? what you ride in the snow

kids, now

gee, I wish I'd thought. I'd have said "Rosebud" ;)

that's the kind of clue that some other babblers love to give

9:00 pm

sorry, wsn't ignoring you, tyger; was off reading about politics (yay!)

politics? right now, that's the last thing I want to hear, read or think about :(

9:01 pm

i don't know anything about videos, i've never been able to get lickety's browser to work.

I'm so gusdusted

9:01 pm

yah? i shan't toss you the links then :)

thx. :)

9:03 pm

thanks, tyger. if you hear of anybody needing a pom, or a border collie, send 'em my way.

9:03 pm

um. win2k

oops, timer went off. dinner should be ready - and only 90 mins late

Hi. I am still having a coffee and in a shit mood

last is plural of un6/21

back after food

last two - as5 and as6 - any help?

9:04 pm

as6 is on a hill

9:04 pm

as 5 is a type of tree

Jess how is puppies?

one un6/21 is already a plural and the other can't be pluralled according to enable

9:05 pm

the pom is great, but everybody that has been interested has been backing out for one reason or another.

9:06 pm

the border collie did not lose her leg last night; i was able to wire it back in line. remains to be seen if she'll be able to use it or if there's been too much nerve damage.

fireworks here, finally

rough grid!

Yah Josh.

9:06 pm

yay, josh!

Poor puppy.

9:07 pm

hi, herin

9:07 pm

congrats, josh

Hi Pam. Pardon my grumpy mood

9:07 pm

it's ok, herin...

9:07 pm

it's ok, herin...

9:07 pm

yeah; she's been SO gentle to work with too. it's a bloody shame that nobody came looking for her.

9:07 pm

your grumpiness is excused, I can relate

I do like Collies. Is she black white?

9:08 pm

yup

Oh Pretty. Those dogs are really smart

9:11 pm

yeah. but she makes 5 dogs right now, which is 3 more than i ever intended to have!

WOW.

9:12 pm

which is why i'm so keen to get the pom placed, and i've started looking for homes for the border collie even though she can't go out yet

Pom would be a great granny dog

My IDIOT b.f just got another fine

9:16 pm

9:21 pm

9:30 pm

Thanks, tyger

yes, it is. that word has several meanings :D

yvw, pam

Sorry i am not great at cluing at the moment. I still need the 20oz of coffee to seep into my skull

and don't feel bad. I can recall times when I needed 4 or 5 different clues to get a word. I think we all have those moments; I KNOW I do

next? :)

COffee seeping into brain

herin, if your kitty comes and jumps on you, you'll wake up. you have not choice! :)

*no choice

No kitty is in the window on her kitty

9:34 pm

finally made it back -- 46 to go

LOL, herin. whatever

hey y'all, how's it going?

hey, moon

Hey Autumn

Should I bother starting if I only have an hour and a half?

why don't you go to lickety's page and do a few. some are finding this grid a bear; I didn't find it that bad

UP to you Autumn

9:41 pm

doable

that will tell you how it's acting foryou

if it seems like smooth sailing, then dig in :)

Good idea, tyger. Think I'll do it that way....back in a little while

have fun

Hi Dan
