Dont forget to make a wish before you blow out the candles i cannot forget your birthday my granddaughter is born the same day makes it a very special day
well, she never said anything, the sneakypoo!
didn't see her earlier today, I finished quite early this morning
I was making this: http://tinyurl.com/3hjfkf
she said hi to me but I didn't know at first who this "fifimom" was
I finished this afternoon but didn't see her there.
Lore i was making the below tinyurl and have inhaled to much pepper
she needs to learn the ropes

we called her fifi to avoid confusing the two Patricias on Saturdays-- her initials are ph so that's what led to it...phiphi
must change my icon to birthday things! Babble too!
but first must do that eye-dropping thing (no, not dropping the eye)
ah, I first heard the fifi when we were talking about going to Van, but didn't - but had forgotten and didn't make the connection

Hi Sprite and everyone. Guests are here back later
hi mark

shes singing can you hear her just like a nightingale
my son had a bad fall with his bike yesterday evening, nothing broken, but he looks like a disaster area all by himself. Boys will be boys...
yes Sprite the joys of growing boys
awww poor guy spritey :(
yeah, he got us re**ly worried, but it all turned out relatively minor, lol. But painful. Hubby just drove him to school, he cannot ride bike yet.
On the bright side though, he probably learned a valuable lesson, albeit would that they could some less painful way
I hope so, 1Mar. In my experience he is NOT a quick le5er that way, grin.
darn, there is a K!
wo7
well if you wanna measure by me, I got 9 of them before the list
240 down, 40 to go and time for bed
nice going, Hugs! *hugs* and sleep well.

goodnight all

riiiiight
actually not too hard if you get stuck ask mari sprite
in about 2 minutes you all should be able to view my updated site: www.MarkBowersMusic .com
what kind of music, markb?
1Mar, do you have any K biggies? My longest is 5.

morning Lonebr
tear
sorry
Lonebr, other window!
np, that happens :)
yea i know im evver so sorry
don't worry about it, it is the layout of the site that makes it happen.
I have ka 4, ki 4, 4, 6, 6, kn4,kn 4... what am I missing
I hate k words
there is a ki7, just clued by nDan
there are 2 x ka4 ruru
ohhhhh now I get the scotland clue. I am so daft. Thanks nDan, got them all now :D
and a kn5
oh sprite stop making out to newbies your daft you be one of the brightest here with the other two already here and only two missing
thats a cryptic clue by the way doesnt count
I don't get the ki 7 clue however.. I am not among the brightest.
ki7 - weight + weight
not only when kiwis here and you have your speedos on
2000lb
2000lb
thanks Ata
oh sorry one is back that makes four now
I can never think clearly with my speedos on...
I can never think clearly with my speedos on...
lol lobo, believe me, I am as daft as the next person. And with Ks, I am actually stupid.
I cannot think so very clearly either when you have your speedos on, ruru
ruru lol
thank you ndan & Atal for the 7 clue
boy glad to get those k's out of the way
Hello everyone, late flip for me
hi mel
diving in looks like a fun one
hello mel
so far it is wonderful. Except for the Ks.
sprite if you're stupid about K words, I'm subhuman
hi mel
nodding off, better get to bed, goodnight all
jilli, you aren't sub in any way or meaning. And you should see me looking for Ks. Cannot find the most common k4 words. It is a blind spot, lol.
may be back in the morning for a bit
nite flosey
sleep well, flosey, and rest even better.
night flosey -- have a good long sleep
keep seeing detonate
woot is SO a word
argh yes
i agree
but at least simi is valid today, Ata :)
yes :)
g'nite all...past my bedtime!!!
sleep well, markb
'nite
94 to go...off to bed for me too..I caught your stomach flu sprite...very yucky
10, but struggling now, and yawning
mine wasn't a stomach flu, ruru, sorry. But I wish you well... recover quickly. *hugs*
heard george may do lone ranger w/ johnny depp
so close, nDan!
Today's Official Phantom is Cormorant
hehehe Samantha
must go to bed -- workmen coming early in the morning -- night all!
demote, coolant and detonate
sleep well, jilli, and good luck with the workmen tomorrow *hugs*
and Teflon
conotate is my phantom
meander is mine
all those tate words are annoying
yes they are Sprite
132 down in a breeze I hope it continues lol
but I found an 8 and it is a real word, so this must be a good grid, hehehe
what does it begin with sprite?
to avoid problems: that is a word with 8 letters, NOT an AN8.
FO, ruru
dutch town alert... the china
but sprite did you get the 9? you are the closest to where this might take place.
got the 7 & 8 thank you sprite.. my first 8 tonight
no, not yet... *thinks*
wtg ruru
hope your tummy upset goes away ruru get well might be the speedos are a bit tight
hello mayne
hi lore
lore did you get the 2 wo aussie words?
I believe lobo got all the Cs... or was that somebody else?
no thanks mayne did the Cs then back to the fours
nope i got them and so did huga
are there any kn words?
i bees feeling left out everybody put a cake for mrp and only me put the other theme it looks so good thinks i might leave it there! lol not as good as lobo though
3
hello Mel Hugs you good today
lollll MGuy... found the 9. And because of us being the netherlands, I was thinking about water levels rising... but that was not the meaning of your clue at all.
hmm ok looking I found one is all so far
sprite isnt it great to have ata and hobbit back
lobo, your icon is lovely! I couldn't think of anybody, and I was too tired too, so I left it at a cake.
hobbit is being a pest LOL
oh yes it is. Go Ata gooooo! And stay, of course.
never mum shes terrified your going away again
she Wants Her Walk LOL
lol, they can be demanding, can't they.
hey sprite but they are worth it waiting for you to have your turn
Hello Lore, sorry didnt mean to be rude have my nose buried in the grid ((HUGS))
never rude Mel have fun nice grid today
am so looking forward to it. But worried too, because we keep having setbacks financially and I still don't have enough money for our puppy yet! Hubby begins to protest, says we need to get a dog without a pedigree...
ok sprite except for the Ks
well sprite you know how to fix that get your little book out and see what adds up
you will get the dog you are meant to have
good idea, lobo!
so right on the head Ata couldnt have put it better
but I want to be sure the pup is sufficiently socialised, Ata, in the weeks before we get to take him/her home. And I am in love with the breed too. So I think I am going to push the KCC :)
well in that case it will surely happen sprite
absolutely
I will ask that some opportunities for raising money come our way, or some unexpected gifts or things like that. I have a good feeling about our doggie.
well just deleted that cause you already said it sprite yes that is what will happen hugs
hehehe, thanks lobo, same wavelength huh
just put new pic of hobbit up :)
oh Ata shes soooooo cute shes a beautiful looking dog
and now she insists on going for a walk. so I will return shortly!!!
see you soon Ata and Hobbit
aw, what a darling :)
that parcel from kiwi should be there on Friday fingers crossed
so where is our kiwi then???
that fast, lobo?
is she away from home
same time as from here kiwi said one week
don't know, maybe she is busy being taxi driver to her kids
two days now and daylight saving has started so its already 9pm there hope all is well
I believe DST will not end for another 2 or 3 weeks here.
nz started this week i think thats when kiwi said we dont have it here gets confusing some years we do some years we dont crazy
I have trouble keeping up with all the different babbler times anyway, and once the DST comes into it, I am at a total loss, lol.
as long as its not ian being a nuisance with kiwi i mean
yep me too dont try to figure anymore
argh, indeed so
now i got myself worried about kiwi
aw lobo, let go, darling. Chances are that re** life got in the way of her babbling. And she is a strong and resourceful lady.
Good morning one and all!
good morninf flask lovely to see you here
thankyou!
thats true spritey ok will send her some love across the Tasman
is or has anyone been having trouble with the towords???
morning Flask

Good morning everyone.

Morning elder!
or to + the nether***ds.
yes...now have the 2 fives
ok, then take the to4 that comes before the to6, and add how ** you **?
Hello to you all, and long time since I have been up to see you at this time.
it is good to see you, elder. Having had a bad couple of days?
Your tardiness has been added to the official log elder.... :p
thanks Sprite <blushing with shame>.....sorry 'bout all that!
Sprite.. *hugs* did you manage to say what you wanted to your friend.
LoriP... I would expect nothing less:)
np Flask, not very common words at all
elder: I lit a candle for her and just told her I still miss her lots. Thanks for asking :)
Sprite, today is the day...
I know, elder, and I am going to think of you lots. What time?
Sprite.. I tend to forget most things :) but some stuff is too important to forget.
you have a sweet heart, elder, thanks. What time today?
Sprite.. 2.30pm so I thought I would pop in here, to see you girls and to to help the brain concentrate on something else.
yup, distraction is the way to go until then. Have ordered a truckload of guardian angels to help you through the operation and will think of you.
Oh forgot to do my Icon. oh well. another time..
hm, that was bad english, wasn't it. But you got the meaning, grin.
back those bananas i am pinching one
Sprite, Thank you. Bless.
What operation? I did not get the memo!
wb lore
wb lobo :) *pinches a banana as well*
LoriP. its just a tiny one. To destroy some of my back nerves.
I've missed it as well Lori
when is it elder?
sprite and elder if its who i think it is shes with us still doing babble and always in our hearts and she bestowed lovely memories on us
Lore... did I see early in the chat you were asking/worrying about Groovy, she has been in here over he last few days ( PM) and seems fine.
Katie, today PM.
Well you take care then darlin', and I'll be pullin' for ya'.
Good luck elder, I'll be thinking of you
elder is up for a treatment of nerves etc in her back... painful but necessary
Thank you for your kind wishes.
'all'
lobo: it is my friend Jom, who passed away 2 years ago. But I miss our dear babbler still too.
sorry elder, didn't see you managed to answer already, lol. Thought I'd take the load off you... shouldn't have.
sprite, better to get two answers than none :-)
elder best wishes and prayers for you darling hurry back all better
hehehe, yes that is true, I suppose. It was just because I kn4 it is sometimes hard to concentrate when you are in a lot of pain and under the influence of strong painkillers.
katie lol
Sprite it is fine... good of you to think like that. As you know I tend not to talk about my worries too much.
katie:)
sprite no its another babbler i was thinking of
Lore, thank you.
I think I may not finish the grid today :)
thats fine elder remember we are here for you whenever you need us
yes I know, lobo, grannymaxx, right?
*hugs elder* - but carefully :)
yep but i didnt have to tell you that did I
ahh, you girls ... * hugs*
no sweetie, but it is good to remember her and let her name sound. She was a gentle soul and very much loved here.
Hello everyone. Hey Elder, I hope the treatment gets you back to us better than ever ( that could be asking for trouble!)
Good morning/evening all.
so how long does all this take elder ?
morning Haz
hello Haz and lynnxx.
Good morning Haz and Spangle
Lynnxx. that's true.
G'd morning Lynx, Haz.
morning
Hello there! It's pouring outside, a perfect day to babble.
hello lynxxx and stewart
hi lyn!
Lore, the procedure Ithink about just over one hr .
sure is Haz raining here too which is most uncommon
It really is a snuggle up inside and drink coffee kind on day isn't it.
fireworks for me. Must be off. Elder, promise you will feel the babble support :) Good luck and may it have the results you hope for.
elder - I hope all goes well. And don't panic if the doctors and nurses all seem to be about 15. It seems to be the way these days.
congrats sprite
hi all i'm back with my new older car
Congrats & bye Sprite
bye & wtg sprite
It is, Katie. I could be tempted into chocolate digestives if this keeps up.
elder all will go well for you and hurry back hugs dear lady
hi there ardilla
Congratulations sprite. LAter.
Bye Sprite...and thank you. I am sure it will.
gingernuts for me with my cup of tea
well done sprite
I'm so glad I am at work otherwise there would be a rush to the shops for chocolate digestives and I have to go to fat class tonight
You have no fear for your teeth, then, loredana?
can always have a cream cracker katie
Hmmmmm not in a quandry I low gingernuts as well
Haz only way for them dunk
what is a chocolate digestive?
You're being saved from yourself, Katie.
gasp.........surely they have chocolate digestives over there!!!!!
Lol Haz I need it :-)
katie, ummm.. cream cracker or Chocolate biscuits, I wonder which one to choose.:)
A chocolate digestive biscuit is comfort food. Take a McVities digestive biscuit, put a thin layer of milk chocolate over, let it set and then enjoy.
Well, that's Australia wiped off my places to visit. No chocolate digestives?
haz, and the darker the better.
lynxxx we have them here even coles woolworths have them
And the best biscuit in the world is called a caramel, which is the same as Haz described with a thin layer of caramel between the biscuit and the chocolate
Not going to Australia then.
Yes, I can embrace chocolate digestives of every hue.
Not going to Australia then.
Promise I'll look for them, thanks Lore
You won't be disappointed, lynxxx, if you do find them.
yes please come because we do have them they are imported from the motherland we also have british shops which i frequent to get decent oats for my breakfast
worth looking for Lynxxx you will love them
havent had the one Katie mentions but will look for them
Prefer dark chocolate (Mint Slices etc) but I'll suffer and try the milk chocolate
I love good shortbread with cup of tea or coffee.
I don't suppose Tunnock's Tea cakes have made it to Australia?
Havent seen them yet Haz but Western Australia has a very high ratio of Brits so will check it out at the Brit Shop
Actually thinking about it, I like most biscuits, well to be honest most foods :)
Well I've hit 100 words so must go to do some work.........Tunnock's factory is right by my Aunts I love the tea cakes but there caramel biscuits are absolutely fantastic and I like the ones with coconut on top (you know the ball of choc with white in the middle)
My fav biscuits at the moment are Manner from Belgium. Hazelnut wafer covered in v. dark chocolate - very very rich
I agree, elder.
not seen them Haz
The snowballs, Katie?
Tunnocks Tea Cakes - packaged in red and silver striped paper. Little mounds of chocolate containing a soft biscuit base and a filling of realy soft marshmallow.
Not too keen on white chocolate.
yes elder good shortbread homemade not that so called shortbread you buy
That's them Haz :-) My Gran still buys me them now when I go up I love them so much. The caramel wafer was very high on the list as well
Haz that sounds like NZ mallowpuffs
Haz, Absolutely... I am salivating here..
Yes, the caramel wafers have a high degree of chew factor, they're great.
Oh elder, you're not nil by mouth are you?
oh i am putting on weight thinking about them lol
Really must get on with some work!!! Thank you for the lovely chat, going to revise my paper with a smile of my face dreaming of lovely biscuits :-) see you all tomorrow
katie lol see you next time take care
bye Katie, have a good day
Lore, my mother used to make short bread and it was grand. I have to own up and say I do not make it but buy the good makes.
See you tomorrow Katie. Have a good day and don't let virtual food talk put on any real inches!
By Katie..and think slim.
elder reared on homemade shortbread (mum from scotland) bake and store a couple of months yummy!!!
Haz, sadly yes. but can drink up to fours hrs.
elder do you have a liquidizer?
But you'll stick to soft drinks, won't you?
liquidized shortbread and tunnocks tea cakes
lore.. no she is English but came form a long line of good cooks.. I stopped the tradition.
my mum is from Scotland elder
Haz, oh yes.
Lore.. lol. I bet some people would think liquid and put so much food in their stomachs, thinking its liquid.
That's good! (sorry, I was outside supervising Spangle)
Lore ask you Mum to send you some short bread. it would be worth the wait..
shes out in the rain?
Yes. Needs must.
Haz, I expect he is snuffling around, tail wagging at a tremendous speed.
But if she'd just do her business and come inside again, it would be fine. But no, she feels the need to go through the bushes in order to achieve maximum wetness.
is Spangle a boy sorry Spangle
the more rain for Spaniels the better.
oh Spangle is a girl then
Yes, Spangle is a she.
Boy or girls they love getting wet and sharing the wetness around.
Got to go check things out see if anything is lurking in her territory Haz
I know. I compare taking Spangle on a walk on a wet day to walking beside a car wash roller.
Haz.. yes I know that feeling..
That's the problem, loredana. Next door's cats keep coming in and birds have the cheek to enter her territory as well.
this is a lot of words to find with no S
Lynxx, just slip one in , no one will notice.
Well, look on the bright side - no snakes.
lol
three main endings in there lynxxx
I see ki4.8 & al5.16 are right near each other, guess that would answer the age old question
soory was it somehting I said or has everyone gone to look for the three endings?
No, I was just concentrating on finding words.
looking forwords.
looks like i better go back to the grid too look at those typos disgusting lol
you mighty think I might be dyslexic..... I used to be but I am KO now lol
Lore :)
You mean what's underneath, lynxxx?
yep
I suppose a windy day in Scotland would be an eye-opener.
Haz lol
i'm back again
Hello ardilla.
welcome back ardilla
hello Ardilla.
hi Ardilla
Morning all Lovely grid today
Good Morning FM
yes lovely grid very flowing
Good morning FMitch - yes, it is indeed.
morning FM
Hello FMitch... yes its gushing.
and I just got an email from a client who want to do a conference call at 10.30 so myst go again, it's been like that all morning.
You're a woman in demand - think of the money!
ok FM see you next time
bye for now FMitch.
*yawn* back from soggy doggy walk
wow that was a big walk
Welcome back. Eau de doggy soggy will never make it in the perfume stakes, will it?
at least she's not a labrador :)
hi Ata!
Are they the worst?
hi ata
hi lynxxx and stewart!
hello Ata. so your now refreshed.
they seem to be, in my limited experience
hi ata
hi ardilla!
lagggggggggg
You'll probably get indignant labrador owners protesting. Mind you, Lizsark could tell us.
I think Oscar will always win in any wet / dirty / soggy / naughty stakes!
I think so. She should write a book about him and try to recoup some of the expenses.
1/4 done!
isn't he the one who took up cliff diving as a new sport?
absolutely!
The very one, lynxxx - and no safety net either.
If she wrote a book, people might come to Sark to see Oscar 'If you write it, they will come' (said in ghostly voice)
I think they would!
ooohh, scary.
Is LIzsark still preparing for Peru? I haven't seen her on much lately.
all over Red Rover and not Coronation St
Congrats Lore!
Good luck Elder will be thinking of you and you come back to babble a new girl hugs
i think so
havent seen Liz for some time
Congratulations loredana.
thanks lynxxx
I've seen her briefly Haz but she hasn't spoken of it while I have been on
thanks Haz
We'll have to make a point of looking for her and asking lots of questions.
Well done! Lore.
well theres nobody here who would need my help I am the junior in babble that is so I will be off to round up the kids
(We've obviously got loredana well fooled)
Lore, thank you, but staying for just a few minutes more.
::
bye Kid! have a good eveing
Bye loredana, see you again.
not fooled clever lady enjoy the grid everyone
another big hug for elder dont be afraid we will be there with you holding your hand ta ra for now take care all you wonderful people
hurshy is going to have a field day with her proper nouns thing. There's everybody from Hitler to Rocket man John.
ooooo yes
Bye for now Lore:)
I'm starting to get distracted with it - Sherlock Holmes' creator is partly there as well.
yay! 99 left!
Is that distraction Haz, or entering obsessiveness.
It's distraction. As if I could ever be obsessed by anything or anyone. Anybody seen George recently?
there's a french film star in there too
***comes up gasping for air*** 75 after the first sweep. Lovin' the grid.
Hey, another Ata Hari sighting! :p
I wondered where you were, Lori.
Hands LoriP oxygen mask... breath slowly.
I'm really here and back now :)
Somehow, I got distracted by those things.... <---------
Thanks elder!
We could almost have Tolkien.
Haz, you mean, you did not bump into him in London.. that's not what we heard.. de de ...
LorIP icon :)
Believe me, if George had been in London, I'd have found an excuse to stay...
Haz would have missed her flight umpteen times.
I see ... so you'd stay for George and not wait an extra hour to see me *sniff*
*** uh oh, somebody has some fence mending to do***
My powers of inventive excuses would have had to come into play. 'No dear, I don't like the sound of that flight.' 'No dear, that captain has a shifty look'
*giggles* only paying her back for a comment yesterday!
Lori, you missed out on the HUGE news that Ata met David Tennant (current Dr Who) on Saturday night. I'm being kind and thinking of it as compensation for missing out on meeting me.
I don't know what my compensation is for not meeting Ata though...
hmmm .... good question
as cute & likeable in person Ata?
more!
lol, compensation? Litigation can't be far off.
Ata.. did he whisk you away to another time/galaxy?.
and he's *much* better looking in real life
Was he wearing a ki4?
LoriP .. * giggles*
Since he is Scottish and all.
and is it true what they say.....
nooooo. I wish. a black suit.
I didn't get to meet him *that* much!!
Compensation? Now there's a thought.... injury to feelings, loss of self-esteem. I could have issues which will take YEARS to get over.
don't worry haz, you can tell us about the issues for months
See you all later . Bye for now. Happy Hunting.
Repeatedly Haz, as the damage is lasting.
just wait till you get walter's virus ...
See you elder - hope all goes well!
Later elder! ***hugs***
Bye Elder - see you again soon, hope it goes very well for you XX
We may possibly have that virus here in Canada.
Thank you all. Bye.
The Californian Canadian virus?
***couldn't restrain myself, and whaps elder with a pillow on her way out the door***
I read in the paper yesterday that the Brisbane flu virus may be on its way. You know it's serious when Hugh Pennington gets wheeled in to comment.
We just call it the NAFTA virus, since have a trade deal.
Ooh, accidentally found a word. 74 to go.
lynxxx - can you shed any light on the Brisbane flu virus?
*barricades Kent from the virus*
You should order some of those masks Atalante - one of the funniest sights on holiday in Tanzania was a minibusload of Japanese tourists with masks on against the dust!
I'm out of the loop Haz...the onlky one I have heard of is MRP's the Pilgrim Viurus, she blames itt on Yanks who came here for the World Youth Conference - ?? not sure f same thing
lmao I bet!
Trust the Americans. They want to share everything.
I must look up the article again. It made it sound like Doomsday, but then news articles don't like to understate things.
even their financial crises
Okay kids, time to send the spawnlings merrily off to school, back later.
BBL going to watch some good shows on the box. In Treatment (with Aussie ex soap star Melissa George who is v v god) - The Riches - To The Manor Bowen. See you all later
brb too. I need tea.
See you later, lynxxx. Yes, the Brisband virus apparently ravaged Australia in 2007 causing over 800 deaths in New South Wales from pneumonia.
Brisbane..
So now you know, lynxxx!
Now wait a second folks-just think of all the wonderful things we have shared with you ....MacDonalds, our esteemed president. financial crisis, unrelenting greed and materialism, global warming (oh well we can all take credit for that one). What more could you want?
We are an ungrateful people, indeed, Eva. How could we forget the gift of McDonalds?
Good morning. Woke up in a really cheerful mood as you can probably tell.
back
I can tell. They're not exactly cheery times, are they?
You Canadians had better fortify the borders. Especially if Palin becomes our VP, we'll be coming over!
Great Britain sometimes cheers me up a bit, since you guys have done almost as well as we have.
So that's Kent fortified against the Brisbane virus and Canada ringfenced against the Americans. Any other borders to be tightened up?
The borders against rampant greed, ignorance and fear?
We'll need a specialist team to work on that.
the UK against Oscar?
I can feel a rant coming on....time for some deep breathing.
You can always type a rant, and then delete it. That gets it out of your system but doesn't get kept for posterity.
I type and delete a lot.
Once I stop sitting on my hands,that is.
I have a lot of things like that in my drafts box. But mainly lost of meditation practice these days.
Much calmer!
Anyway, I must go and get some work done around here. The coast is clear, so no chiding from Lori for doing the ironing. If I can't keep the wrinkles from my face, at least I can get rid of them in my clothes!
See you later!
looool. have fun!
bye Haz
lome
Bye!
sorry!
I hate Fs
and Silverclaw says mrow every day
Back for (theoretically) my last 74 words. g'd morning again Babblers!
hello to every one :>)
That'll teach me to scroll down. Ironing? Do they even sell irons any more?
...and, i forgot. g'd morning chickie
howdy,howdy Lori,how goes it? :>)
Life is good. For you too I hope?
Yes life is good but the weather sucks. It started raining yesterday and is suppose to continue until the week-end.
Could be worse, could be snow....and yet another new Babble name... :D
good morning babblers
this is true. It is the change of the seasons and the snow will be here soon. Lets see if I can do this game befor the snow comes
G'd morning Nono! Late start for you, isn't it?
I dread the thought of snow. I'm coming to loath winter more each year.
Lori would you please quit using that swear word
I've been at it for a bit have 155 words already
lol, I'm with you on that Nono. I will desist immediately!
thank you, Lori, that is one of the worst 4 letter words in the world
The first bit flew by, but now I'm struggling. I see Lickety's in my very near future.
hi NoNo :>)
That k is for killin' me. Jeez.
havent really concentrated on the k's yet Lori but I do have 76 of them
oops that should be 6 of them
dr.god is working over time,can't chat or add words guess I'll try later :>(
chick are you using babble expert?
Good morning kids. The snooze alarm was used effectively this AM but I lost 45 minutes of Babble time.
morning Scrabbs. Sometimes that extra bit of snooze time does you good
morning everyone:)
Hi crossy
the first part of this grid flies fast so i bet you make that 45 minutes up in no time
hi Cross
G'd morning Scrabbler, cross
Lori--I was worried about you with Hurricane Kyle. Did you get hit at all?
Scrabbler, at our exact location, it was moderate at best, we were very lucky it shifted a bit at the last minute. Caused a lot of nuisance further up shore though.
I am glad you are OK, Lori!!
Turning on chat, headed for the list.. Hi Babblers! Fun grid today..
G'd morning Aloy!
Good Morning Everyone. Scrabbs! how are you?
Good morning/evening all again.
good morning Red
253...may have to give up food today:/
Hello Haz :)
G'd morning red, wb Haz
hi all.. wb haz
hello Aloy!
It's not that sort of grid, cross, it's pretty civilised.
i agree, haz.. even the k's are civil for a change
And that's saying something!
crossy didnt have the list up and is now sweating the k,s:/
i try not to list till 50%:)
Hello new entrants. I was typing an e-mail.
crossy looks around for the fluffy bunnies....
There is one right near me--little Miss B.
Afternoon, lunchtime and time for a little babble :)
hi Scrabbs... it was a good morning for hitting the snooze button.. dark, rainy, dropping temps..
hi there, FMitch!
howdy fm:)
Hello Fmitch - welcome back.
good morning FM
Hello lovely ladies and er, gentleman ;)
urg...i hate it when life interferes with babble
thats right fm!batten down the hatches cause crossy is in da house:)
G'd morning FM ***whap***
*Oooff*
lol hello Lori
ooh! a cat fight:)))
***locking and loading the howitzer spitball throwing on lorip***
*Puts on full wetsuit and goggles*
duck everyone! Carlee is here
morning Carlee
get your pom poms out of the line of fire, carlee
***engage cloaking device*** Morning carlee ***points at FM***
Hi Carlee
morning nono
hi lori....scrabs
I hope Nutter doesn't show up or there will be poop tossed everywhere.
nothing like a early morning cat fight:)
Stop rubbing your hands in glee crossy
Mud rasslin' can't be far off, can it cross ***free fantasy for ya'***
No poo throwing., just coming on to say that I have indeed changed my icon!
so..crossy...if u see my mum up there...tell her hello..she is cottaging up there this week
wait...she is staying at a friends cottage for a week
well i have about 10,000 cottages within 5 minutes of me but ill try:)
Amazing how many words you can get w/o an s but so many ungrey tiles still.
I must get ready for work now at 60/220. Good luck with the grid everyone. Enjoy the day!
Bye Scrabbler.
byebye scrabbler
Bye Scrabs
tc scrabbs
Good Job Scrabbler, have a nice day at work...
thanks crossy....
have a great one, Scrabbler..
Haz, v soggy here, you too? much persistent precipitation :(
Later Scrabbler, have a good day!
so..is anyone planningon watching the debate onthurs?
Persistent precipitation just about sums it up.
i will, carlee..
possibly Carlee. If i can stay awake
with a bowl of clam ch*****
hi, all. one of my cats is in the grid.
red, who is the inspiration in your icon?
hi kitty kitty
hi Angel!
hi, angel!
you couldn't pay me enough to risk my mental and physical health watching the VP debates
G'd morning Angel
Wo;ma Rudolph, an Olympian runner who had polio as a child....
ok....why a bowl of clam ch*****?..what does that have to do with biden and palin?
Thanks for the freeby Aloy. :D
comfort food, carlee
i am watching to see biden sweep floor with palin
wow red
ahhhh..... true...maybe I'll make a taco dip and munch my way through the debate
hee hee.. good bet, carlee
the thing is carlee, it won't matter to those who are ready to vote for her anyway. rationality seems to have almost nothing to do with what American voters do
that's what scares me, Eva
yea...but it is better entertainment then the crap new shows this season
There is a bio in my icon. She is was really great. My Dad got to meet her and was also veryinspired.
All she has to do is keep repeating the same lies they've been repeating, over and over - and many take them as truth
I am amazed at the people who are voting republican with the current meltdown of the markets from the policies of dereg etc.... though I do not think it is all Republicans "fault".
good reason to be scared aloy. Or realistic anyway. Fear doesn't do us much good.
Ah missed the boi, will have a r4 of it later
perhaps biden's history of womanizing will aid him..he knows how to "handle" a woman... and will lay her out for the buzzards
Just coming up for air and want to add a question:
hi there inge...long time no see dear {{hugs}}
G'd morning inge
hi inge!
Shana Tova to everyone. May it be a year of greater sanity, compassion and wisdom.
Did either McCain or Obama show leadership qualities during lat weekends crisis? Neither of them got their party in line for or against.
***volley of spitballs at lorip*** ...you dropped the cloaking device lori!
I'll second that, Eva!
THis is true. I think both have been advised to hedge their bets and try to claim to be on the "winning side"
but far more dems voted yea then republicans.....
After being insulted by Pelosi
I think about 130 ish dems voted yea..and only about 65 GOPs voted yea
My vote is still for Obama. that McCain Palin team is scarey.
Why is it that everyone claims to be tired of the election and its issues and yet it still gets talked about endlessly?
*** pulls the lever, and lets loose a barrel of water over top carlee's noggin***
but nothing pelosi said was wrong...WHO in this world deserved a 30 million dollar bonus?..that means they made 500 million/ year?
Diving back under. oppf
Ha! got all the k's!!
all she said was the free ride for these CEO"S was over...
Right now Haz, I think many of us Americans are a little afraid...
My bank failed yesterday.
wtg, FM.. kiss em bye bye
carlee, here is a towel, please dry yourself off a bit
*waves bye bye to the ks*
***all the k's? Un-possible***
very possible lori, i found the rest of them
*waves bye bye to the chat log*
*waterbombs Lori with new imroved big bombs*
***'specially since there are only 5***
and canadians... cus our economies are so intertwined...if USA goes belly up..canada goes down
Later Haz.
Bye Haz
i'm off to shower anyway....gotta get to work... byhaz... have a great one elveryone
And there have been a few eurp[ean banks socialized or bought by the government...
Later carlee
bye, carlee
European...even.
oops BYE* haz....typo...
bye, Haz..
bye bye Carlee have a good day
hi, all. Just wondering: does a person have to be an ea4/4 to ea4/4 a lot of mo5/12 as a mo5/14, and would one need to wear a ho4/6 made on a lo4/5 to be a success at it?
red,just reading back,you bank failed? up here our accounts are insured for up to $60,000 dollars.are you going to recover your deposits?
Found an 8 in the n's, but still missing 6. Ack
My bank was bought out, so according to the new buyer everything is "as it was" and yes, we have federal iunsurance for 100K so I dont have that much, but it is very unsettling, I dont know who owns my mortgage right now...
only 6 left to find Lori? Go girl!
Oh, i wish FM! 6 n's.... Still 55 to go, and Lickety whispers in my ear.
see what the great fear is from the higher ups is that people will do a run on the banks and use matress banks instead and that will be the next part of it
Thats still good going.
I would like to use my matress, but... I am trying to just wait a month before I make any moves.
or change all your funds into gold certificates
I think if we pass the bail out and deal with it things may improve, but we are in for a difficult time!
as you are our major exporter,we are a tad uneasy as well:(
who will buy our bacon,maple syrup,whoopie cusions and plastic dog poop?
there is actually a export market for varnished moose nugget key chain fobs:)
ewww.. a "gift" idea for your favorite relative, cross?
http://www.northstar.k12.ak.us/schools /awe/moose/moosenuggets.html
lol.. le*** something new every day!
hehe stick with ole crossy and he will show you all the classt stuff;)
classy* that is
brb.. definitely coffee time.. (-:
that site has moose poop stir sticks for your java:))
lol.. aaaaaaaack!
I am surprised at how worried I am
i understand, red.. what i wish i understood more was economics
280 and FIREWORKS!
COngratulations Nono!
wahoo, congrats NoNo!!!!
Yaaay Nanette!!!
have there been videos lately? I havent had one in ages
don't think so, Nono

Haven't seen any lately Nono.

www.woot.com
woot is like gansta...leet speak rap words
Cross don't tell me -you are the "perfect husband" mine wakes me up to cook his
very nice, crossy - how many years
15 years:)
you kidding ? the kid was still in diapers the last time the wife got food in bed..well apart from reddi whip:))))))
just a hint - the best part of breakfast in bed is when wife comes down to kitchen and finds it all cleaned up!
the rosette tips make it so much easier to add those special touches:)
Cross-no denials! We know you are the "perfect husband"
mm speaking of which,i think a pile of dishes just fell on the cat:/
Hubby brought me toast in bed the other weekend.......not being the perfect wife I scooted over to his side to make sure I didn't have to sleep on the crumbs :-)
Sandy, lovely picture of your mom -
so,champer breakfast followed my a snooze for 2 on the futon,then a nice walk in our arbouredum then a shower for 2,get all dressed up and its porterhouse steaks for 2 at our best steakhouse;))
She is so special
Cross I feel nauseous
cross that's sounds lovely.
really? the steak too much?
i thought it was fine:)
Just proves that Katie is much nicer than me
Hubby's birthday tomorrow. Marmite on toast shoved at him after feeding three cats and running out the door to work..........work all day, dash come into taxi......thank God Mari is cooking dinner :-)
marci?
mari*
darn fat fingers of mine
Don't give him that nasty Marmite Katie- give him the wonderful Vegemite- and by the way it is my daughter's birthday tomorrow too
Mari (who plays in the morning is my mom and has offered to cook dinner for his birthday........I love my mom :-)
1/2 way - need to go get ready for work - later babblers
good morning everyone :)
good lord marmite? vegemite? ugh! let me send you both some home made apple jelly sometime soon

first pass completed.
Later kje - told you it wasn't that bad
(((mom))) hi... and bye
bye bye KJE, have a good day
TY katie... you stay on my good list : )
hi Mom!
I hate it but he loves it, must remember to give him a kiss goodbye before shoving the toast at him
on any other day the wife just throws an apple at me as i head out the door
Mom - I'm sorry but I'm going to have to kidnap Ziggy
Usually, I get up first and make sure the fire is still going while I look up something exotic to make my master for breakfast
Hi Lynxxx
Hi Katie, he is a sweetie
I'm sure quarantine can't cost that much!!
I wake him gently with a kiss, brush his teeth and give him his freshly ironed clothes
lol Sandy
Shall I go on
Lol sandy.............
see? sandy know the right way:0
at least I hope it's lol
I know a lady who actually (no kidding) puts her husbands sock on his feet before they hit the floor each morning
Australian women know their place Cross
morning, mom!
oK I have freed the car from a variety of papers and cups. Mom, that lady....insane
I feel like a failure after hearing that one Mom
if i asked my wife to put on my socks she would pull my bottom lip over my forehead for me
good morning Redturtle and Une
oh Sandy, I wouldn't
you ladies are funny, reminds me of a story my mother never got tired of telling ....
lol
they must really like one another, for her 50th birthday he bought her a red convertible
her brother on his honeymoon had a fight with new wife about turning down the sheets before he got into bed - seems his mom had been doing that for grandpa all his life
what is the story, JBV
Well, either that or they yhave money.
LOL Jbv- Lucky for me I have already turned the sheets down
think ill go in the bedroom,slap the wife on the behind and tell her to get out there and get some breakfast started:))
could be Redturtle, don't really know
and then duck, Crossy
given that she must have been putting on his socks for about 25 years a covertible was the least she deserved
my insurance is all paid up:)
and go for run
how true Katie
Cross do it then run like hell!!
Good Morning, word slingers! Happy Tuesday.
I am fixing my eye (in a steely way) on my husband while i tell him that story (red eh?)
after 15 years i know better:)
it is funny to hear how each person "handles" their mate
word slinger...i like that
goood morning Judi
See you later everyone..bit too tired for this tonight
of course mom im brave when i say all this as she is still in bed
Or, word manglers for those of us who may be novices at this (present company excluded, of course).
bye bye Lynxxx
bye lynxx
I handle mine by letting him think he handles me MOm
good morning all, may I have help with the 9
found one of the 8's by myself, the co8/50
if she were reading over your shoulder, she would probably wack you upside the head
Mom, hmmm maybe I do the same thing
I mean spanner
Sorry, Peri. I've only scratched out a few sevens so far.
All us intellrgent women do Sandy LOL

She may have stumbled in but shes gonna come out like a whirling dervish

actually all kidding aside,and she is not watching,she is one of the best and we have actually saved each others lives on more that one occasion.if i could time travel i would go back in time just so i could marry her sooner.crossy wasted 5 years being too timid;))
You are both very lucky. In a whole world full of people you found you soul mates. Good for you
Awwwwwwww. That is so sweet, Crossy. (We chicks love that mushy stuff). Sounds like there may be a convertible in her future.
Wow that does sound very nice (if she's really not watching)
she caught my first cancer and i helpeed her get her sight back,what could be better?
Wow. Soul mates and guardian angels.
she is in the bath sandy;)
A match made in heaven obviously!
You must count your blessings every day
she cant drive,her vision is there but still 20/400 so crossy gets the convertable she can co-pilot:))
That'll work.
Cross I knew you were an angel all the time. Hmm my hubby is asleep so i can turn the tv over from the war documentary at last

NBT now
exactly half on my first run thru, bbl
any babblers online right now from the OBX area?
I have been to the outer banks, but my home is 5 hours away.
ive been there several times too....we are headed there with the family next week for vacation... just looking for some restaurant suggestions...
good afternoon everyone:)
I can not help at all....I rarely eat out and I actually never did when I was in Wilmington.
hi, all. I've just updated the Stats page for September. We had the largest grid for the year to date on September 7, surpassing the previous largest grid from back in February.
hello Angelsong:)
Over half way! I am now going to stop for a bit.
OBX? Is that the Outer Banks, Eva?
yes, judi! beach time for me!
Lucky you! I've never been. My nephew has a house there. I can check with him. However, it would probably be easier and faster to search "Outer Banks dining".
hello everyone!
hello Annie:)
Hello Annie.
hi haz and jean
hi annie
and sandy
Morning! Clue for the 9?
yes, i just remember a million years ago chatting with someone who lived there, so i figured id check in here first :)
hello phaeton:)
hello phaeton
sandy, your mother was lovely...where was the picture taken?
fa9/78 - a lively dance.
Or, fa, a south African currency, finished off with a Spanish cheer.
I think it might have beentaken outside our house when it was being built
years ago of course but she is still very attractive and quite glamorous at 80
okay, thanks
sandy, yes you could see she is very pretty
She has a brand new house now and still has many dinner parties and luncheons and is an amazing cook
got to dash, bbl, Happy Babbling everyone:)
la5/10, jean
Cheerio Jean.
Hi

HI anyone i missed
hi all

hi sandy
Can i have a different clue for the fa9? I don't know african currency
fa9 - three letters for not near, three letters for a conjunction, and the Spanish cheer as before.
ra4/5 is the South African currency.
lol I was going to suggest googling South African currency.
f** away + the cat r** away from the dog + unemployed people collect the d***
te
ooops.
dont use the r in the r** word
Got it, thanks Haz and Sandyloo
My it has finally stopped raining, think I will shoot out to the shops.
You're welcome.
haz yours was so much more intelligent!
Oh well, as long as it worked.
bye, FM
this grid is a bit more fun
It's stopped raining here as well. Spangle might appreciate a walk and I'll appreciate not being soaked while walking beside her.
have a nice walk haz
Haz, glad to see Spangle back...love that face
So, off we go. Back later perhaps. Bye!
just got the wine word! amazing it took me so long
la5/10, haz
I do too, Annie. Bye!

sandy, can I have the first 2 letters of the wine?
M is the first , it will be too too easy if I give you the second
lol, ok, thanks
think of types of wine

yw
I have never known it to be so quiet- everyone must be working hard on the grid
It's a big grid... LOL

sandy, I finished the bottle, hic
have to run errands, see you all la5/10
sorry for you folks who've had too much rain, but we haven't had a drop in nearly a month and are desperate for some wet stuff from the sky!
I think Nashville is hermetically sealed!
ok, well, goodbye to the lurkers, I guess! :-)
finally I am gone "poof" Great minds think alike une
hello - everyone gone?
I'm here.
hi bzzzzzzzzzz
define "everyone"
OK, just wanted to know someone was out there ... kinda spooky in here otherwise : )
everybody watching the stock market, on and off...
scary stuff erda
sure is
phantom - hormone... tried twice just to make sure I hadn't mistyped it
oops - but there is a close one
add a suffix to it and you got an 8
indeed erda
Hi kje and Erda, how are you guys today? and everyone else out there not chatting right now.
they are busy looking for words, no doubt -- Hi debjed
do you have a clue for the 9?
nope
Not really lurking... just playing the grid... it's a big one, LOL.
Me neither deb
I see it starts with FA
found a word from "To be and not to be" monologue
sorry, got called away for a sec
fa9
not near but fa* + peanut butter *** jelly + spanish cheer
come on erda - give at leat the 1st 2 letters... don't make me run through hamlet!
yay -- got it; thanks kje
wow did I ever pick the right moment to come in!!! TY KJE!!
yw
I'm w/you kj... I'm trying to think of the whole speech.... LOL..no slings or arrows in this grid!
I did, kje -- it's FA
LOL pug
KJE... thanks for the 9, never would have gotten that one on my own.
thanks for that 9!
**slips in to steal 9 letter**

thanks for that, kathryn
hi sean... long time
erda, just got the "hamlet" word. of course, in the speech, it's plural
yes, Bernice
yeah, i know.... i'm not on as much as i used to be
work has gotten a lot busier. not as much time for babble :(
hopefully that is because your business is booming
Can you clue the first two letters of the Hamlet word?
you guessed it :)
FA, mom
mom, it's FA 6/30
ty
that is surprising sean, given the lull in real estate most places
LOL... I already had it!
isn't it? i don't know, i suppose fall is always a busy season for insurance... but i have had an astounding amount of homeowners policies, given the current market
can i get a clue for either i word?
maybe it is all the recent storms... making people aware they need coverage... you know, the same way that AFTER you are broken into, you realize the value of a good security system : )
Hello Bernice - ik4/8 - looks like i plus a misspelled feline, il4/8 - il plus the start of that same misspelling.
got them, thanks haz.
thank you Haz!!!
who would fardels bear, To grunt and sweat under a weary life, aeon
haz to the rescue!!!!! ty

You're welcome.
ERDA! PB!

Oops sorry -- wasn't aware that was there -- I'll shut up from here on!!!

Bye MaMa.
good morning, boring lecture beginning, going to grab some wurds
bye MaMa!
Good morning stid - you'll find it a nice grid.
it looks pleasant enough...
It is - enjoy!
loved that when I went back to school, the whole place was wired, so could sit in boring lectures and work on my laptop!
yes, love the wireless aspect, for sure!
very cool icon stid... didn't know you had met ardilla
okay, gotta pay attention... got 47 wurds already
down to 98 left and my only blank tile is that right column O - any clues?
NM, found it
Let me work out which ones come from there.
more frequent kje
thanks anyway haz... super haz actually
The I in the right corner is giving me fits
ty pug

kick it out ruru - can't allow such annoyances
both o's are live olive oil kje

thank you haz..
You're welcome.
I + tutti
ty ru
yw :)
f
MO5/16 clue anyone please?
mo5/16 - a kind of slow moving word.
It rhymes with another term for dog, kind of affectionate?
someone who tries to get money or food from you all the time
ugh fish me hard!
spotted it soon as I asked! (I hate that!)
ty guys
You're welcome.
I am slowing down considerably... debating about listing...
or could just take a break
brain 7 hands are slow as a constipated sloth today
YW. I'm going to take a break and run some errands. BBL
Hi all...how many words today? At 152 and don't want to list quite yet.
280
280 words today, Krysten.
ok, thanks. Not as bad as I thought.
thnk I'll do an early lunch... hit the sushi place before the rush.. fish is brain food : )
See you later kje.
enjoy kje! happy fishies
blah blah blah... LOL typical first day of class nonsense
stid, you shock me. Most mature students back when I was at unversity put the rest of us young things to shame with their enthusiasm. Has all that changed?
no, very enthusiastic, but as post-bac student, the lectures geared to the freshmen and sophomores are redundant and BORING.
ah. half the people in the class are new.
gotta go...
See you later!
Time for me to go as well. Bye all!
Guten Tag, Just now I could not access regular Babble or iron sudoku, but I can get Babble expoert. Anyone have same problems?
yes it took me over 5 minutes to load regular babble - kept saying server wasn't responding
Thanks, taht it was not my comuter's fault.

I couldnt get back to babble either but now all is well again :) *keeps fingers crossed*
Happy New Year to all our Jewish babblers. I am off to prepare German class.

Happy hunting!

I say the rest seems to have done my monkeys good,, just found a wo7/48
I keep wanting wormlet
*grendel, grendel, don't you chase the mammon grendel, grendel, mind your mother's salmon"
looooool *hands over the commission*
No using words that in in the grid in phantoms *pick pick*

anklet would be good
the wo7 has a related 6?

yep!
I thought the wo7 was a place in Australia, it's part of Abriginal spear thowing
oh *that* one

Hello EvaN
g'd'afternoon. :)

Alt sp EvaN, drop a vowel

i guess i have forgotten it :(
to "date" + stiller & ****
awwwww. ok, clue: time spent inside one's mother's tummy :P
so, Ata...any progress on my tattoo? ;)
stiller and wilson?
see the bottom of the chat log :P
my clue is sneakier LOL
how young are you - comedy duo, parent of young ben
*parents
got a commission, eh?

when its your WO7, do you feel a little HO8?
minibreak from blahblah lecture...
stiddy! oh I was hoping you'd come onlne
Gripe time: I am finding that so far most of the words I am missing are ones I KNOW I typed in during the day. Hate it when that happens :((
ho8, eh?

8? 7? 9???
Hi stiddy - hows the first day going?
stiddy - quick question - name me 3 trees that are the most characteristic of coastal washington. please. PLEEEEASE
why Atalante? if I disappear it's because I am in lecture... boring intro stuff so far.
oh! found the ch7
pine
spruce
fir
douglas fir, big-leaf maple, western hemlock
no, not much spruce in Washington, it's too warm. more in B.C.
hey i got one
do you get sitka pines?
i love douglas fir, best christmas tee
not much pine in coastal forests, more inland where it's dryer
I have no idea what sitka pine is. possibly on the northwest corner where it's windy?
ok. *thinks* and do you have any trees with really cool pine cones?
evanadine, would you care to elaborate re: ho8?
(there is a reason to this, honest!)
it's not a mortgage... :(
fir cones are interesting (to me and the red squirrels (cedar squirrels)
what is the last ch?
when you go through puberty, pregnancy, or your monthly visit, you probably start feeling HO8
there is a "sitka spruce" in the olympic national forest per the web...
ohhhhh
good morning everyone
thanks for the HO 8
hey flosey
does it get tackled by the ditka spruce?
LOL hurshy!
*writes down* thank you! I've been asked to create a "green man" based on pacific northwest stuff. I can deal with oregon trees and plants, I wasn't just sure if they changed in WA!
YW!
reading back, what about cedar? most predominant around here
Atalante, if you can wait until your morning time, I can look up in my book of Pac NW trees...
absolutely! any help gratefully appreciated!
flosey, you were an adorable child.
what does the 9 start with and does it go with the 8 i'm missing?
okay, I'll make a note ... back to the lecture *sigh*
lol, thanks stid
gosh I love cedar. It smells sooo good
9 is fa 9 78
what is the last ch, anyone?
not related to 8
ok, thanks
it's a spanish dance
flamenco!
last ch - just change last letter
no, i got it!
thanks, should have seen that
more lively
Hmmpf. It won't take hooder - this is the person who puts the hood on a graduating Ph.D. - usually the advisor. Oh well.
evening every one

fandango! hmmm. ok maybe not
homotal
fa + S.A currency + Spanish cry

Hello Vic have not seen you for quite some time
nice mom
clue for al 5/16 please
Oh, I've been around. We must just not have overlapped.
al 5/16 in the air; or type of bed found in dorms
okay, a few more minutes... mini break in the lecture
al5/16 - up in the air
hi vi
or a type of apt in ny above a store
how about the ki 7?
lol Vi you've left yourself wide open for a leg pull there.
dang, that's from the top
ki 7 is metric
*profers leg*
figured that, what's the last part....a measure of what? weight, volume?
maaaaass
Nah, gt my be nice head on this evening ;)
weight, lots
thanks appreciate it :)
i'll try to return the favor, but I'm still missing many here
ty Vicuna
wait, is it weight or mass? i have lost my head.
I didn't know you could mix those two parts.
weight
same thing if your math is on my level
(weight)
i am totally blanking on what we measure mass with.
weight makes it easier to find; it is weight, unless explosive when it measures force
Catholic priests! (Ha ha ha.)
arrrrr. not halfway yet. NBT AGES ago.... but stalling out big time now. too early to list *whine whine*
Poor stidmama. You can do it!

(Kids asking me to "say something" so they can see my icon.)
hi kids!
*waves Hello*
"Hi, Atalante", says son. Daughter says, "Yeah, me too!"
nice histo-fact vi
*kids giggle*
*waves*
Hello kids!
Daughter says "Aw, man, that's funny!"
*kids think redturtlehead is a very funny name!*
Hi T :)
Okay, enough of them!
Hi P ;)
Vi, I just saw your icon! I am also an admirer of Wollman! I did a paper on him in college and got to present it at a conference, which was a big thing for me then.
They are very pleased to see you, FM! =D
*grins*
That's cool, redturtlehead. What was the class you studied him for?
No class, I actually wrote the paper specifically for conference submission. I was a history major then, but I will admit to having gone to Westtown Friends in high school.
which is how I knew about him. A very persuasive person. Non-violent, and had courage of conviction.
Oh, yes of course, redturtle. Does Westtown require being "admitted" to? lol
I guess you do have to apply. I never really thought about it.
hi all
better board today
ooooh i see what you meant. My head is a little fuzzy I had a very good workout today which means I am now a bit exhausted.
(FM, we're reading Doctor Dolittle books these days, and kids are excited to learn that you live in the same country as Puddleby.)
hi smiles, can't say I like it myself
Hello, smiles.

see - ar5, 6 or 7 - - what in the world is that?
Hello, KimS. Have you checked out "help" link above the chat box and "Angelsong's Babble Page" link under Friends of Babble down below the grid?
word starts woth co has 7 letter and ttotal tile value for the word = 32
co 7 letters in the word and 32 is the point count (like in scrabble)
oops sorry for typos
I have checked the link - but until I understand the "code" everyone uses - - it's all greek to me... I don't "get it"... <groan>
And we know that those words exist using Lickety's Babble Clues, which is linked below the grid.
ar5 = a + not pretend
boo try changing the second vowel in the first co7
ar5 - adj version of width times length
ar6 - colored part around nipple
ar7 - adj form of ar6
I go to Lickety every day - I;m no closer to understanding a thing there....
Well that's not good. :(
thanks for the ar words Vic
ty FM and Vic
KimS - look at one of the words on your list that you have found and see the letters point values there.
okm, FMitch
don't give up Kim, it'll come clear
<------- see, on your list just here (not on lickety)
Oh dear, the clock strikes 2:30 and the curse is come upon me! I promised I'd go play ball now. Back later. Goodbye, all!
I really am trying -but seem to be a little thick for this "code" for some reason - - think I just have to find the 1 person who can say it the way my brain thinks <chuckle>
have fun with the ball.
Ok, FMitch......
Toodles Vi have fun *grin*
bye bye Lady of Shallot!
Hi everyone
kim, do you get that co5 is a 5 letter word starting with co ?
ar7 - adj form of ar6...??
I got the A6 clue - -:o) Thanks!
Evening Becca
Kim S... it is the first two letters + the point value of the word (each letter has a point value and then there is some multiplier due to word length.. don't really know myself)... that's it.
Hi Becca
Yay!!
ah, the joys of a sleeping baby - babble in peace!
ChrisseDee - yes, I get that.....
I love that Vi uses poetic references to say au revoir
Such a classy dame:)
absolutely! oh - on my flickr are some beautiful Burne-Jones / pre-raphaelite stained glass windows ...
then if you look in the list at the ar 6 you just got, the second number is 18, that is the total of the tiles - like in scrabble
lickety\s first clue is ae4, 4...... so a 4 letter word starting with ae, worth 4 points.... - - did I get it??
Correct!
yep!
By George I thik she's got it!! :)
yes kim, by jove she's got it!!
phone
collective round of applause for Kim, lol
Awe just as she gets it reality kicks in
*claps loudly*
WOO HOO Kim, now you're off to the races
okay - - back, let's see if I can find that ae4,4 word......
kim, don't forget tat 5 letter words mean 2x points on the tiles, 6 letters = 3x points etc
okay - - - - becca....
still working on that ae4, 4
I think there should be an option where I didn't have to find words starting with vowels. Those are always the hardest for me.
100 left, nap time for me.
GOT IT!!
Kims brain implodes ... Bye red
YAY Kim!!!!!
woo woo kim
hahahaha - - hey - = 176 left with out any code help - -pretty good.... lets see what else I can figure out...
*wanders through*

lol Hi sprite
Can I shamefully ask who exactly was Bill bixby??
he was the scientist who changed into the Incredible Hulk when he got mad
Oooh! I never saw the show, but it was popular.
meli, could you give me a clue for the last de? de 6/21. Thanks in advance
Nancy, its the liitle things it is all in the de****s...
it is where God is, lol
hi sprite! just stopping in to say hi (finished earlier) and just in time to remember bill bixby - not my cup of tea, though
hehehe, I feel a storm of disagreement coming on, but I don't care. He was the most gentle man I had ever seen. What can I say.
my first crush was way earlier, I was a child when the Everly Brothers came along, I used to daydream about meeting them in person :) - nice memory
GOd is everywhere. I just learned that I will be treated to Seventh Day adventist Prayers each morning and Noon and evening at the new hospital...who knew.
nice one, JBV
free soul saving it's amazing
red, tyvm, how I missed that one is a wonder.
It shall be a different experience.
YW Nancy.
sprite how about this as an icon theme - comfort food, you know what you eat for spiritual sustenance
grin... chocolate
My first crush ...
Say red, have you decided on whether or not you are going to stay in Florida? I am in Palm Bay and thought I had read that you were interviewing and might stay permanently.
do you have to attend Red?
I'm signed for Orlando for months.
jac, I do not have to attend it is over the PA system!
oooh David Essex - went to see him in Godspell 4 times :)
eer that is 6 months!
oh my god!!! do they provide earplugs?
Nancy, how is Plam Bay recovering from all the flooding?
Oh good, then you will enjoy the nice Florida weather which I hope is coming soon.
JBV: feb 21 it is :)
I've never seen him but used to fantasize about marrying him when I was small ....
I am sure it is not long, and it is their hospital, so whatever...
I think the weather is already getting really great Nancy!!
so cute, Ema :)
Doing much better. But there is still a lot of damage to be repaired...
Oh, but we need less humidity. That is when everyone sighs and praises the heavens that summer is finally gone.
lol nancy, I read humility and didn't understand your post, grin
I'm loving it! I have the AC off and the patio opened!
It's because I mentioned the prayers at the hosptial.
yup, I think so too
where as we Brits are sighing and wondering what happened to Summer
oh yes I am sure that is it.....:)
summer? Our summer happened on a Monday this year
sprite are you booked through february with icon themes? that's amazing

Come visit us in Florida, we have one season. Summer...Summer...Summer...Summer. it seems

good catch DC
cr7?
Soomeone who cr5/22
cr7--cr% + one who doer suffix
oops %=5
shit one who does! cant type
thanks--took a min, but got it
i've learned how to use Expert and a regular window when doing these big grids to avoid Expert lag
you mean the chog lag DC?
I could hardly do the grid on Sunday the lag was so bad.
no. i wean the lag in words loading
lag no biggie to me
so i babble in a regular window
then refresh babble in Expert
then send wonds to clues
it's annoying but the convenience of expert is well worth it I feel
gets me a list and minimal lag
whatever gets ya through the night dear! :)
the only time the word load lag bugs me is at flip when I'm finding them fast & furious
it drives me batty, obviously :)
at least you found a way around your battiness
VERY true :)
if only life BIG frustrations were so easily solved!
would that it were, pug, would that it were...
good morning all
hi Lynxx!
morning, lynxxx :)
well DC, at least the VP debate Thur.night should provide some comic relief!
I cant wait for that comedy
VERY true, pug. do you know what time? I'll need to be sure to be by a radio
9 Pm EST I think
mraehoover, you there?
that would be traditional; i'll check before i'm home from work
Several CNN commentators have said S.palin should step aside!gotta love it! She has become quite the walking punch line!
evening all
hi Dorens
hi, dorens
hi Dorens
several conserv writers who supported at first have said she should step aside, too, esp in the last week.
i know. isn't it exciting?
does anyone have the bottom right hand corner R word?
even if she does step down, it should reflect terribly on mcC for having chosen her... such a blatant political move without considering what is best for the nation
I heard an interview with Gov Tim Kaine of VA today on WTOP, who spoke to the VP selection process, contrasting the two cands.
ra - beams in the attic
go fl** a boat monkey
I've been embarrassed for her every timer I've heard her disjointed blatherings
TY
too late for that Dorens it already reflects badly....
ty, lil* you closed out my Fs with your question :)
i agree, pug
i refuse to be embarasssed for her. she is acting like the pitbull with lipstick she says she is... meanspirited. and i agree pug, i just hope that if she does pull out, people don't forget
well i think anytime saturday night live can mock an interview and not have to change the answers to the questions that were given, that says something
i feel no need to be embarrassed for her, she is who she is.
hello hello ... what does the 9 start with?
indeed iceypro
I don't see her as a pitbull .I see a buffoonthat can't admit she's far too clueless for the big leagues
fa9,78
ty
that was an answer to a question not a request for clue
some of what she said at her convention speech was pretty meanspirited. and some of what I've read about her vindictiveness to anyone who opposes her....
fa9-- not near + this *** that + h*** in the ground
oops sorry
thought it was request
TY Pug
its ok :)
ok with me

no problems with them. i read the total study and decided that 1-3 tenths of 1% wasn't enough risk when bone density desease runs in my family
what about breast issues?
& ovarian....
what about growing a mane and a ta4 ?
kidding, sorry
don't get me wrong, everyones genetics are different but i believe in letting mother nature run her course.Nobody ver died of hot flashes!
nope - plus the an increase of 4-5 cases in 10,000 isn't significant enough for me
but my mother did suffer from fractured bones
I'm not trying to persuade anyone
you gotta drink a lot of milk. it isnt just the Ho...
for hot flashes i use a little fan my mom gave me, plus drink a nice cold drink with lots of ice
like i said evryones gene pool is a different ball of wax.For Me it would be idiotic
by the way i have no avaries
ovaries either - lol
Luwanda, no birds? How sad?
lol
i let them free!!!!!!!!!!!!!
since we're talking about menopause, may i just say how WONDERFUL it is to be period-free, for almost two years now
i feel excluded...
woohoo!!!!!!!!!! 7 years for me!!!!!
lol lil ive been that way for the last 12 years but havent gone through menopause yet lol
hmmmm interesting, kiwi
that's more common that you'd think, kiwi
poor red :( we luv u even tho you still get your monthly
unfortunately just been an annoying roller coaster here too but not stopped yet
i must admit that for 11 years it was self inflicted - was on the depo jab but came off that a year ago and still havent had one and i DONT miss them lol
my mother used to call is The Visitor
it
the unwelcome visitor perhaps
i hated it when my grandmother used to ask if "my friend was visiting"
hi, jill.
i could do without that kind of company!
hi again all -- lot sof interruptions today so still 86 left
sometimes very welcome!
great-grandma referred to that as 'the worries'
my grandmother was the same
that phrase always made me gag!
hi Jilli
hahahaha red... i remember those days
LOL dcseain
my grandmother used to ask if I was sick and not well - with a smile
I must admit right now I am watching the nightly business report, I guess I am worried about finances.
don't blame you, red
my grandmother and great=aunt (her sister) used to tsk tsk tsk when they found out i went swimming while having my period
People seem to be rpetending this isnt happening, but a lot of people are losing a lot of cash...
it is scary what's going on. Jill, how, to your memory, does this compare to the 30s?
I should check my statements, but I am afraid to look,
it's happening, and scary, and i'm very grateful for my gov't job
ooh, thunderstorm :)
my dad has been predicting this
CUrious what jilli has to say???
he's "just" an old farmer
it is having effects over here too
I was only 3 in 1930, dc, lol! Seriously, we were in Chaina and things were different there. I vaguely remember my dad showing me charts in the paper but they didn't mean much to me except that I think he said we were lucky we were not involved.
my dad was in his teens
anyone not living under a rock could have predicted this! Thanks Mr. Bush et al!
yes, i knew you were young, but i still thought you'd have some frame of reference. ty
I'm a bit worried about my Parents investments...they retired early and I dont think either one wants to go back to work again.
my mother is worried about her investments. Esp since she's with Wachovia.
Oh yeah... I have everythingn with Wachovia. but I thinkn things will be safe.
I remember later in the USA, 1940, my ultra-right-wing Southern Republican uncle raging about FDR and the CCC and the NRA (National Recovery Act or something, not the rifle lot) but my NY aunts and also-Southern uncle loved FDR
And the CCC really did some interesting things for the country, in retrospect.
the CCC built really nice concrete outhouses for my family in rural Ohio.
lots of dams
wachovia sold its banking (deposits/checking/etc) not its investing so while its going to dip a bit, they are thinking its going to be ok
WPA paved their roads back then, too.
I think the Taconic State Parkway in NY was CCC-built, and said uncle raged about the expense and the beautiful rest areas.
yes, ice i tried to tell my mom that, but she'd rather worry.
ah yes, WPA...
it's difficult not to worry
indeed so, Luwanda.
my stuff is all over and i won't be retiring for at least 3 years and I don't have to then
I try not to worry because it's waisted energy
i'm not wearing rose colored glasses
wise, Lu
makes sense, luwanda
i'm aware of the situation but the best i can in my little world to make it better
whichever way it goes the little man gets screwed
hi all can anyone clue the co 6.21 near the end of the co list please
add to the co4/5 above it ak
co6---co4+ one who does end
i need the co 7/36. anyone?
luckily its really only the large national banks that have overextended themselves so while things are going to be hurting for a bit at least I dont think its going to be quite the way everyone keeps talking
dorens to the bird word?
co7--co5+ sing hy**s in church
co + ho****'s is known as a titty bar
yes the small-to-midsize ones seem to be doing better
ahhhh that did it ty
I want larf to be a word, haha
thanks pug
yw
watched too much Pinky and the Brain did ya, jilli
i like to larf, do it a lot
well yesterday we had bumf jilli
no, dc, never heard of them, lol!
bbiab
I remember bumf :)
to me, bumf sounds like a contraction; i should look it up
big storm here, so i may disappear suddenly
take care, dc, or come here -- lovely day
Pinky used to shout NARF all the time
as dc disappears in a cloud of sparks!
thunderstorms are always soothing
suddenly, the rain let up
cute icon, ak, and that reminds me -- Happy Hour approacheth
da 6 please
thundrerumbles are rare here
nothing like a good glass of yarn
very common here, esp around sunset, which was about 30 min ago
ak.. look at de 5/14... add an a in second place
i love summerthunderumbles
da6--satans helper with extra vowel
i thought i was satan's helper!
I kinda miss them
we get thundersnow sometimes in the Winter, but that's a rare treat.
I think the whole thing depends on how people handle themselves and how the banks conduct themselves...
Aknitter, a glass of yarn??
yup red -- check out my icon
yes red. happily, thanks to FDIC, no huge numbers of people withdrawing their money.
I've got to move my investments though because i really think citicorp is a bit corrupt.
gotta go do school work
knitter, that is too cute!
bye lu
Lu stop playing and go do your homework this instant
the investment arme is remaning with Wachovia, though
very nince knitter.
report cards are due and i have conferences ---yuck
enjoy, luwanda
SO my IRA and CD stay with Wachovia? My Mortgage? what exactly does that mean?
wow report cards already? poor you
i don't want to ........ (spoken with a whine)
aw, poor lu!
Oooh Luwanda, you need some chocolate.
i'm on a year wound scehdule
perhaps spoken with a wine would be more appropriate here
this is out 10th week
might make the grading less painful
our
tea and sympathy to y ou
do feel too bad because our fall break is next week
3 weeks
ooh, nice!
i just have to make it through 3 ten - twelve hours days
ok i don't feel too bad. enjoy
ah Lu don't you have work to do??? LOL
later
am I the only responsible one here???
aknitter - i love the icon
y thank you kindly
You know, there is a thing about students registered to vote in Florida, so they can affect the vote. I think unless they change residency they really are voting illegally. they should vote in the home state.
does anyone have a clue for the no8?
responsible?????
Unless the students have changed residency...
sure responsible (for causing trouble)
aawww!drowning in doggies!!!!!!!!!!!!

yes. Jilli it is Not Steel or iron...
no8 not iron or steel or tin etc
ty lynxx
thx red and lynxxx
Well, the financial mess has caused me to watch the entire Mcneil Leher News Hour. i feel a bit more educated.
okay, i'm only going to do my report cards because knitter made me
red feel any safer>
that was a smart response red. i have no tv near my computer, so when I have to babble, i can't watch
oh sire blame me, its always my fault
sure
blame FMitch, lu, everybody does -- but maybe you haven't met her
do you mean sure? lol
no, actually I think I feel worse. I need to control my anxiety a lot is going on for me personally now so the financial worry and the things on the news....
hands red a paper bag... breath slowly and deeply
TY aknitter.
OMG that was SCARY!
I am so so glad I have a contract that is good for months even if it is difficult.
big bang, dc?
thunder DC?
i'm happy you get to stay in Fla, red
the power went out, then on, then lightning struck, hopefully not the house, near enough that it shook the house and echoed for minutes in the chimney!
red, focus on what you can control (like report cards)
LOL Luwanda.
and you stayed online, dc? that's AMAZING
SCARY DC!
red, Wachovia Securities is not being bought by CitiGroup
i am not procrastinating
wow, dc!
so, IFF with Wachovia Securities, not Citi
But what are the securities....
course not, lu ;)
even the mostly deaf dog cowered!
Liu! go to your room now
Lu! sit in the corner with a pointy hat on
wachovia is the bank.....securities are A. G. Edwards
Oh seain, i am glad you are alright, maybe you need the house checked after that.
some IRAS are treated as securities, as are all annuities and stocks and bonds.
i'm there, at my desk in the corner. just need the pointy hat
yes, but it will have to wait for morning, or at least for the storm to end so i can go out with the flashlight
Well. In a few weeks I will do a sit down with the bank. right now...
a CD is definately with the bank
*makes paper cone hat with the newspaper and sends it over to Lu*
you can have an IRA in a bank or with a broker
hi annie
Pretty sure my IRA is also in the bank at least thats where my states come from.
indeed, annie, and hello to you
And of course I need to check in with TIAA Kref to see how much I lost. because I did lose there.
Hi there dc and jilli
hi AnnieB
good night all. i enjoyed the banter
night li
lu
g'night, luwanda
hi lynxxxie!
bye Lu
good luck Luwanda with the cards!
LOL i need new typing fingers
nitey nite, lu
bye Lu!
bfn lu, happy schooling
Ugh after Red's worrying I thought I should check my Superannuation fund, another 10% loss - total of 30% over the last 9 months - thanks USA
It is a nasty, worrisome time right now, lynxxie
Jasper sure enjoyed the tapioca pudding bits he got
Sure is - esp as I stopped working a year ago as I had enough in my Super (at that time!) to live modestly
blame the dems
hi, how's everyone doing with the grid?
blame greed
our house, the neighbor's house, the fence and deck all look ok, what i could see with the flashlight and the porch light.
blame deregulation too
phantom -- rodeo
too much deregulation and greed, and i think allowing Banks and Investment firms to combine again was a bad idea, too.
another phantom---corona
hi, praes
evening dcseain
brb
twice, growing up, lightning struck the transformer at the coner of our yard. It's amazing what a mess that makes. And , it takes days to replace a transformer for underground power.
Sorry to cause you worry Lynxx

a letter that is submitted to a granting organization telling them that you intend to apply for a grant they have sent out an RFA on... sometimes grantors want LOIs... no idea why... just to create more work

my friend is a lovely woman. I am SO GRATEFUL to be in her class!
And hi to Jilli!
Well, hello riemann! What an eon since we last saw you!
yvw, pam
hi riemann, it's been forever!
hey riemann! there is another friend who teaches college (math) I would RUN from taking a class from him. He doesn't need confirmation of my stoopidity1
crap I tried that ..must have not spelled it correctly
hi, rieman!
Yah. The eons roll by when I work all day.
(((hugs riemann))) how goes the student-flogging these days?
I still have 47 to find
monkey? almost done?
go jill go!!!!
i love the good od4 word :)
completely doable jilli... unless you have too many happy hours
Student flogging goes great. They're lining up on their own outside my door.
go, jilli - you don't have that many left
LOL riemann!
stidkid is calling you, btw, he needs to talk to you about his life... ask him how geometry goes, will you?
ah, beginning of the semester, many confused kids
oh where oh where has my sushi gone... oh where oh where can it be....
kje, tais-toi!
got him now.
i have a jar marked "ashes of problem students" used to scare some of my more timid students! lol
I think riemann is about halfway through the semester. They started WAY early!
bring back, bring back, bring back my sushi, to me, me me
no LBD! that is TOO FUNNY!!!!
faculty office hours are always busy this time of the semester, as they begin to realize they *aren't GETTING it*
bet someone is enjoying your sushi, kje
kes ke say "tais toi?"
LOL lbd!!! Must tell my granddaughter (newbie teacher) that!
LOL dc!!!
my teachers have it easy. I am no longer shy about saying, "HUH?" in all caps in the middle of a lecture...
LOL, stid
what a great jar, dawg!
i love students like you stid. no issues about not getting it.
tais toi = shuddup :)
so they learn my name quickly and the other students feel WAY smarter!
oh! REALLY??? *wanders off, muttering tais toi to self*
yes, that is one of the fun things about being much older than one's classmates, as i fonud in the spring, stid
first wo 6 33 please
no hoola hoop?
kje's been bugging me all afternoon, lol
ah, but stid, you're the one with the advantage. instructors KNOW *you're* listening
wo7 less a vowel, ruru
ruru -- a lady is a wo*an + a mythical beast was a chim***
hi folks!
ah, hula hoops and tootsie pops
hey, k21
hey k21!
weird.. half woman half beast.. sounds like Sarah Palin
wo + letter before N + a long span of years =wo6
wo 7 please
hi k21
stid, there's a ruder phrase -- ferme ta gueule
stid, I think your clue is better than mine for wo7
it is so much fun to listen to the stidkid talking with riemann -- riemann is so kind to him, and the kid loves having someone adult who really knows what's going on... fer shure his parents don't!
Thanks for the help, just had to answer a phone call.
thinking the ruder phrase translates to "stuff it?"
i'd learned to mostly not use that phrase by age 11.
*gasp* I just read ruru's reply to the clue! rofl
who is riemann, stid?
yea!
hi bubba *waves*
honta
lol ruru
hi bubba
All done.
pam, scroll down and click on his icon :)
whooooo hooooo BZZ!!
sorry, i broke Exert for a moment
riemann is our friend from college. Our boys' best uncle. Tom's compadre.... my nemesis
yay, bea
See you all tomorrow.
stid, same idea
YAY BEA!!!!!
hi, bubba
nighty night, Bzz
congrats and good night, bea
jilli, am I right that it's not quite that nice?
nite, bea
wo 7 clue ... did i miss it earlier?
okay, my turn with riemann...
wo7: wo + vowel + not you, but ** + Egyptian sun god
double the vowel of the 1st wo6 ruru
back soon, I think.
add another vowel to wo6, rur
ahhh double the vowell trick
thanks, stid...
anyone want mackerel
didn't me4 to make you gasp there stid
I hate mackerel
mackerel isn't that tasty, kje :P
co6/27 #1?
didn* get a chance earleir... ruru yhat was hilarious! (the wo clue)
mmm - mackerel sushi is good... but have toro and salmon as well if you like
eeewww, mackeral...cat food
co6/27: there isn't one ch6/27?
mackeral smackeral
seriously??? none of you like mackerel???
even cats won't eat mackerel
oops, beg your pardon
*foodie opinion of fellow babblers dropping* : )
never tried it....
co6/27: not go, plus not be
i've had some lovely mackeral
you're right, tyger, but not quite that nasty either. A "gueule" is an animal's mouth.
we used to fish for it sometimes
plus it is really good for you - loaded with omega-3s
co6/27 is a Spanish word
with little hooks?
TY dc - and you like jaleo too - I knew I liked you : )
Now for that last 47 (still have to get supper) so into the grid I go
I can take Omega threes without the fishy mackerel
dunno, jilli, depending on context, could be uglier :D
jilli, i just googled ferme ta gueule! ahhhhmmmm!
kje, I LOVE saba! *holds out chopsticks and plate*
stidkid didn't give me the phone. he's hogging riemann!!!!
aaahahh - ruru - america's answer to everything, a pill : )
right, ruru - I do, to (salmon oil) - and flaxseed oil
*too
serves up a big porterhouse steak with flaxseed oil
passing stid saba!
lots of omega 3 in the salmon sushi.
fresh tuna is nicely oily, too!
yellow fin! yummm
hello all, 52 left to find and need some encouragement to finish
stid - extension? surely you've got other phones in the house :)
(*** loaded with mercury ***)
hello peri!
hey, peri
Yo soy un hombre sincero de donde crece la palma, y antes de morirme, quiero echar estos versos del alma. En los mo5s, mo5 soy...
go peri, go
i do like that poem, and the song
it's really not a bad grid, especially considering the size
*sends LBD fresh yellowfin from the boat* I am either driving out to get more this weekend or next...
go peri go - go go go
Lots of Tuna is great if you want early on-set of alzheimers
oh, why say you that, ruru?
why do you say that ruru?
LOL snap, seain!
ruru - do not make me get clinical on you
why, ruru? didn't know that
thanks, kje and lbd
really - the tuna thing?
good for you, lbd -- I just did too, and see? Quel joual!
got to get supper in the oven -- then back to finish
ignore him tyger, he is spreading falsehoods
not all tuna is loaded with mercury. it depends on where it's been fished.
see you soon nan!
later, nan
hore
Tuna and Swordfish are loaded with high levels of Mercury and metals and they believe those metals can bring on the on-set of early alzheimers with higher levels of ingestion.. true
later, nan
mercury poisoning is NOT the same as alzheimer's...
ahh that was for the puzzle sorr y
may I have a clue for NO 8 pls
still need help with co6/27?
I wish I liked sushi....
back to finish up - I hope
sorry, dc. my spanish is limited. taco, burrito, enchilada
I'm having a very hard time getting into the grid for my last 47! But this is more fun, I think!
hi flosey
I like sushi if it is cooked!

Hi flosey again :)

lex, it's all in the de****, the small little things that make up the big picture

woohoo wv
la7 - double the vowel in lar6 french bacon
thanks all - time to head to bed, getting late
la 7 last - from the side or to the side
la7 next to last - change the last consonant of the last la7
when doing map co-ords there are two measurements.... the second is la*****
isn't that latitude cross
it is..was just messing with a cuteish clue
1 down
ty again kje, monkeyed it cuz me pocket french dictionary doesn't have it!
2 down
just trotting out with latitude seemed to be to easy
well book, it isn't exactly bacon... but close idea
in fact, me pocket frand dict says french word for bacon is bacon (and also la4)
a clue for the la7/32 above it? i am waering my fish-proof coat
actually it is bacon, it's just how you cut it.
change the last consonant to
someone say bacon?? lol
(frand? goes off to get brain which fell out and rolled away again)
you all of course know about my famous bacon weave?
not a bacon expert here
ty
we have LA 7/32 and LA 7/28 clue for the last?
damn, bad habit for a brain book! LOL
does it involve hair, crossy?
yes, familiar with the weave cross
http://breakfastblogger.com/2007/12/16 /bacon-weave/
no,no hair
smiles - change the last consonant of the 7/28
looks like way too much bacon fer me LOL
OK, too late for me... going to bed - later babble buds
no such thing as too much bacon or eggs:))
tc kje
i'm not big on sandwiches but have you ever tried a sandwich of grape jam and Fritos?
grape jam and fritos?? now thats a new one for me
changing the last consonant in LA 7/28 just gets us 7/32. is there a word we're not seeing?
if you really like Fritos, put the Fritos on their sides so you can get more on the sandwich. (sorry, no pix)
all this talk about bacon - http://tinyurl.com/yrf4ba
mmm a bacon scented tux is even too much for me:/
