lobo, good idea. He can't do any better than our Kiwi.
brb
Thought he divorced her recently... move to Marin Kiwi.. I think he still has a spread there
Hans Solo and GroovyKiwi..actually has a nice ring to it
bfn jilli
i remember having posters of him up on my wall after star wars came out - i have all the star wars dvds and indie ones - i kinda liked his body better as indie - he had "matured" by then lol
so true, Kiwi :D
THink he was hairier in Indiana kiwi
yes very true kiwi
i like the story of an early role of HF where he was a bellhop or something - the director told him to act it more or something, and told him that if laurence olivier was playing a bellhop, you'd still know he was laurence olivier. and he said, that's funny, i thought you were supposed to think he was a bellhop.
roflol hursh, great line!
I taste a bit of jealousy from ruru here...
i was thinking the same thing sprite
no .. not me..
just love teasing kiwi
ok, I stand corrected, ruru... jealousy and denial
well i coulda put up rurus pic there but he hasnt come out of the closet yet lol
he was certainly scruffier - that was a good thing.
in his speedos
tease me all you like ruru we know you love it but your day will come believe u me
I don't have a jealous bone in my body.. and denial is just a river in Ejypt ...
*giggles* denial as an art form, lol

yep weird arent they LoriP thanks to monkeys for me

sprite lol how did cayas horse riding go?
am still ill, Andree, no going out for me yet. Still feverish. I get to watch the rain :)
sprite, you have had a bad time, did not realise you are still sick
she LOVED it, lobo. Was so happy to be back there. But she looked like a floor mop when she came back. So tired.
can i get stats on the z please
it is an ugly virus, Andree, but nothing serious. Just seriously irritating, grin.
yes but its a start and it shows shes on the mend
I hae ze4/9, zo 4/9 x 2 and zo5/20. One Z MIA
anything that lasts that long is serious
ze4/9 zo4/9 5/20 4/0 5/20
she is on the mend, for sure. And so am I, it is just taking lots of time.
third one should read 4/9 ooops
thx all
hello everyone I'm finally back from the email dungeon
hiya west
hi west, long time no see
hello westford hugs
hi sprite
hi lore hugs too!
did you see my message early on about our cat?
no, I didn't read back the chog. How did it go?
west no i was going to ask you but too many clues flying around and i have now closed chat off for the first hour so starting again how is the cat?
she started eating a bit yesterday and today she ate like there's no tomorrow
well there you go did you give her a shot of cod liver oil?
that is such good news!
no didn't do anything different but I did wash her down with a warm face cloth she seemed to like that
am really glad for both of you :)
thanks we're happy too I wonder if your virus came across the ocean
are you getting over it sprite?
fantastic news west so glad for you hugs for you and the cat
according to MonkeyG it came from California
the cat that now has decided to sleep on me in bed? lol
very very slowly, west. Still feverish and very tired, but not as desperate anymore.
Belated g'd morning west
awwwwww so sweet, west!
hi lori
does this virus have a name or is it one of those no-names that hangs on for weeks?
as far as I know it has not a special name. It is just one of those ugly viruses that really last, not a simple flu one.
lol you asked for that west my two do the same thing one because of his age he generally sleeps on a hot water bottle and when it gets cold he wakes me up trying to lift the sheets to get under
smart little thing!
no i just havent had a decent nights sleep in the 17 years i have had them lol
sprite I hope you are seeing the last of it and no one else in your family gets it
lore cats really do know what they like, don't they?
I have an ep 7/8 combo, anyone know the first 2 letters ONLY of the other 8 please?
keeping my fingers crossed, west! Hubby and son seem fine so far.
maybe it's a girlie virus? lol
nope, Walter had it too
its CA8/50 LoriP
that's right brought it back on the plane
Merci muchly lore!!!
west they sure do once my two are gone no more cats for me
found it, thanks lobo
I said cats know what they like but dogs do too my friend has 2 Brittanys and she said when they are at work the two of them get on the bed and just lie spread eagled next to each other and take naps lol
a 6/24 goes with it
she had to put up a gate to keep the dogs hair off their bed
lol
west so cute we are a dog family and had many many dogs and cats and the tales i could tell dont you just love them
absolutely we haven't had a dog since our Chelsea passed away she was such a good friend
sprite some of the things you will be invited to share with your new puppy '
does one have to let the dogs sleep on or in one's bed to be a good dog owner? I must say I have no intention of doing so...
Clues are up
thanks lickety
no that's something you probably shouldn't start if you can help it
belated happy b'day, mrP
dogs they give you so much unconditional love you cant help but spoil them you will see Sprite
thank you sprite
hi lickety and mrp and tyvm!! we sure did miss you
there mrp will agree
dogs are the best!!
I intend to be a loving but firm dog mum, lobo. I want a dog I can live with, and anyone else too :)
happy birthday from me as well mrP when was it and was it a milestone??
our woofie sleeps on the bed cause she is small enough to, and it is essential that she sleep there... she feels like part of the pack
hi all...falling asleep here so must rest...hey Sprite...I started with Precious sleeping with me , if only toget her used to me and her new surroundings...eventually she stopped on her own...when I received Joey, he did the same...if you do, invest in some moisture proof mattress cover...
it was a milestone indeed! I turned 40 yesterday... got a surprise party and all
hi PAV and treasured poopies
Hey everyone - mrp, myself and the kids are going away tomorrow for 11 days - and clues might be an issue - so hope you all survive in my absence
oh how nice and you hardly look 20!!
lol PAV! I am going to spend the first nights in the livingroom with the doggie. With my hand in the crate if necessary.
happy belated BD mrP! you don't look a day over 20!!
oh west! thank you for being so sweet!
oh pav!! you being too sweet also! LOL!
aww poor us lol just kidding you go and have yourselves a wonderful time !!
I agree - mrp does look 20! I organised a surprize party for her last night - and it truely was a surprize for her!
see it must be true if we both think so?
have a great holiday superman and take care and have lots of fun we will survive and you are not to worry
that was supposed to have an exclamation point and not a question mark lol
surprise parties are very hard to pull off how did you manage?
i was so surprised I cried ! it was too funny to walk in and see all friends there
lickety can do anything !!! thats why hes superman
thanks agfain lickety for all your hard work..a much deserved rest..enjoy your family time! ciao, all...must sleep before I fall on floor and join the poopies...
I hope we'll see some pictures
sprite thats the correct way to be with the dog you let them know you are the pack leader and all will be fine
it was all done via a website ... that way I didn't get to see any emails etc... the site is 'anyvite.com'
goodnight Pav happy dreams
ciao sleep well PAV see you next time take care
sleep well, PAV!
west, there is video and pics, but not sure when that will happen... we are leaving for holidays tomorrow for a couple of weeks
what a great idea!
nite pav
thanks lobo, that is what I hope to impress upon the li'l one.
I saw that about the holiday have a fantastic time!! where are you going?
we are going 12 hours north to Queensland... staying in the hinterlands rather than the sleeze of the coastal city.... and travelling to the kids theme parks that are famous there
I plan to sit by the pool and veg :D
sounds lovely
sounds like lots of fun for you and the kids
I have been refusing to go if we were staying on the coast... cause it is overcrowded on the Gold Coast. Today, Lickety found a perfect spot with every facility and fabulous retreat for kids
it will be lovely! we haven't holidayed like that for a long time! will be a treat
I'm envious!!
not that you deserve it or anything lol
fireworks for me
woopee well done Sprite
but no vid
let's see.... watersport, horseriding, bike riding, golf course, heated pool and spa. all 2 bedroom units too! very nice looking place on a lake
Yay sprite!!
good going sprite!
what an ideal vacation!
and more importantly, restaurant and cocktail bar!
yes, vacation much much much needed!
very important especially the bar
sprite, no one has sent lickety videos for a while now... he hasn't had time to find them with work being so hectic... i must start asking for videos again!
but Kiwi sent a whole list! have they all been played? I have seen only 2, I think
I like the idea of a bar by the pool! :D
is it the kind you can swim up to?
am asking lickety about that now sprite...
yep i sent some too havent seen them
no west... kids are not allowed in those pools, so we can't go to those hotels
I have heard Kiwi say that she had not seen them either, so I guess something must have gone wrong.
didn't think of that it would not do to have little ones swimming up to get a drink lol
he accepts that people have sent them, but he hasn't put them up because of the time involved... I will kick him firmly up the ass for you all!
ok, I have to be off. Have a grand vacation, mrP. Bye all!
don't do that lol
thanks sprite... bye!
bye sprite take care and get better!!
bye sprite hugs get better ok make sure you get some rest and have your breakfast
I keep seeing tapioca and I hate tapioca!!
Please don't give LIckety a row on my behalf. He has more than enough to do without having to spend extra time on videos.
no prob haz... he is entitled to be slack when he is having to look after so much at home
Exactly!
He has been so generous with his time and ability and I think too many of us are taking it for granted.
hello Haz and Spangle
Hello all by the way!
hello haz
yes Haz I totally agree
as do I
So, that's official then. Lickety is excused an ear-bashing!
and on theat note Fireworks
Congratulations loredana!
yay lore!
Yay lore!!
that note sorry now i go and pick my own video its not hard (from licketys list)
may I have a teeny tiny little clue for the lonesome e in the bottom right corner?
ah, the to4/5/6 combo is back!
i can't find that one yet west... sorry
I'm no help either.
well all right then! lol
plural of ep7 :P (I'm walking the dog really, back soon)
west, I have the e's done, but can't cipher which came from there. the ep 8 plural (I think?)
Was there a cheap sale in o's today? I've never seen so many. We're flooded with circle letters!
oh no lori was hoping it was a 4/4
and g'd morning to all who arrived while I was temporarily focused....
thanks ata
Good morning Lori and Ata, the walking apparition.
Just think nuclear/radiation type ending west
ah, that got it!
Big bomb, huge explosion?
ep + vowel + to4 and plural
more like an element....
Got them, thanks.
and, wicked chat lag sends me scuttling back to the grid.
and now I have them too after going through all my to's
tyvm all and now good night !!
Well done westford, good night.
west did you get your e?

26 left here and at a dead stop
hi andree... had a lovely birthday last night (surprise party) and today at a day spa!
GM all :>)
top 5 movie characters... from 5 to 1 ... hannibal lector, jack sparrow, darth vadar, the joker, indiana jones comes in at number 1 not one female character made it in the top 10... wow
wow sounds fun, did you get the works, where was the spa
hi chic :)
Good morning chickie
hi chic
wb Andree, g'd morning chick. 17 left after the first sweep. Coffee time!
the spa is in turramurra, Gillian Adams Day Spa... had the works done and a lovely lunch with wine provided too :)
hi mrp,haz,lori how is every one this morning?
Looking at the place from the outside, it looks doggie, but walk in the door and it is beautiful!! and huge! they have an amazing pool and every type of treatment.
sound divine, did lickety organise this
I'm pretty well, thanks, chickie.
sorry I missed you Andree GM :)
YW,I like to know that every one is well!!! lol
well, almost andree... the present he gave me was not appropriate, so he made desperate calls to friends to get the day spa idea :)
hmm, didn't know you could extend the childs object that way for a 5/6. Yea for desperation! 14 left
how like a man
too right LOL!
23 left here and no idea for the rest
this is tough indeed
At least he made an effort! (This is Haz's Stand Up for Lickety Day)
yay for lickety
I think we should all stand at our computers and salute him. Oh and Happy Birthday MrP!
LOL haz! he will get a kick out of that
And tell him that I DID stand up and salute him. Thank goodness no neighbours were passing,
didn't you put your knickers on again haz?? LOL
I don't know whether to answer that Yes or No - either one sounds bad!
I have po 7 and ep 7. Anyone know the first 2 letter s ONLY of the other 7 please? ***on bended knee***
at7 is the other
I'm in the same boat, Lori. I'll look at the list for you.
at7
just realised there is a list so off to check out my last 22
Ooh, thanks mucho grassyss mrP! ...and Haz too
Well, that's a strange looking word....
It is. I've had lots of weird words.
yay for morewords
Morewords - the babbler's friend.
Doh! missing c was Spanish good bye. Ack, it gets me every time.
Italian it is. Just call be pernickety.
*me
Call be pernickety sounds like I have a code in my dose.
i was sure poopsie was a word
Oops, my bad. Hey, I don't need to be specific.... :p
Accuracy is highly overrated.
Not being pernickety or anything but PB for the oo4....
It may be, but it doesn't connect in here, does it mrP?
Just call it 'a foreign farewell' and that would cover it.
***stomps off to PB***
arg, it doesn't... i am seeing words that are not here at all!
lol, when in doubt, be vague!
Don't look at me in that tone of voice!
now now children
**rolls eyes, shuffles feet***
maddie recovered from her "dip" mrp
My younger daughter hated being told off and would declare 'I'm not looking at you!'
prezzieeee!
I always thought it was persnickety

Pfft, the wind is play havoc with the TV ariel.
im stuck with 42 to go...hmmm
Here's to speedy healing and recovery, we'll have you doing the Gay Gordon on New Years Eve :)
I expect I will be in and out today as its tender to sit here for too long, similar to being kicked gently by a horse.
I've halted at 36 carlee.
Fmitch that's my main goal.
what
23 ... including that annoying O on the second row
what's the Gay Gordon?
Carleekat. just had a minor procedure. Nothing major.
It's a traditional Scottish reel type dance.

Eva, traditional dance ( Scottish).
123 and FIREWORKS

I'm not really fussy....
Ata, Welcome back, did you have a great time?.

a wonderful time! now I'm busy working on the set of commissions I collected while over there!
Carleekat, dark or blonde .. but not too hairy.

Carleekat.. wow a claim to fame:)

Good day all.
hi bf
this grid is making me hungry, one of my fav foods! pi45
35 left and truly stuck. Time soon to look at the market and see if I can figure out how to now end up at 70 selling apples on a street corner.
hello Red. Welcome back FMitch and bye.
awww I was just wondering where Silverclaw was. I walked into the spare bedroom and saw a suspicious looking lump under the duvet ...
26 to go....end in sight...
that's not...rather than now. Too cold selling apples in the winter.
sillly sily
Eva, hang in there....
I peeked under the covers, and indeed, there was a little cat lump, all warm and cost
Ah, doorbell, must be courier. Catch you later ....
*cosy
later fm
I have not been brave enough to look at my 403B or my stocks...
wish I was a lump all warm and cosy under a duvet...
Merp came to Boston with me for the week. Drugged him to avoid cat hysteria in the car. Felt very cruel because I came up with a new tactic for getting him out from under the bed, which involved the dreaded vaccuum cleaner. Humans are mean!
me too
i think we all like that rth
LOL, I have all the doors and windows open to take advantage of the 70 degree temps. whew.
I know the feeling red.
70???? is about 45 here
Remember, I am in sunny land of Disney...
the high was 90 or so yesterday.
60 here, but suppose to get up to 90 later
i'm in the land of ice and snow..and its friggin' freezing here
Hi

Ooooh I found an 8 by myself how rare. the Ca8.
Waves hello
Lo herin
clue red
I am having a bit of a brain implosion at the moment
nm
you have enough room in there to implode, herin???
The queen said "off with her head" but in this instance rather than of, it would be to Ca****** "On with her head...a bad clue...I will try a better one in a mo.
Maybe she should go the PB, but it is implode not explode, so less messy.
Not really. Im trying to help my friends 14 year old nephew. His mum is sooooooo frustrating
Its ok ill just tear into my cold meat from tea last night and drink my burbon
slowing down here

I just found a sp 4/6 that's a very disparaging word. Tsk Tsk
when do you start at the new hospital, red?
I think in this case it goes with "and span". Hi all!
That's not the enable dictiony definition. If I said that to someone, I wouldn't get a very nice reaction
MONKEYYYYYYY
Oh well, too bad. Hi Herin!
Not on for long. Just picked Walter up from school and we're taking a couch break.
Hey. Im enjoying Criminal Minds.
Well, wierdly my Stock is up. TOo bad I didnt own more of it.
New hospitla is October 20.
Hi Monkey How is Walter?
Red have you sorted out your Mortgage issue?
OH red were you off to?
Walter will not take his bike helmet off... wants to wear it until tomorrow.
My Mortgage is fine. I just have no idea who owns it now. I will wait a while to try to figure it out.
afternoon everyone
Hi Katie!
half way, bbs
Sorry Red i diddn't mean to be nosey
Walter is tired but doing well. He likes school. These are lomng days for such a little guy! But today was one of his half days.
Its Ok, you are not nosy. I am worried about the Mortgage, but not in the sense of forclosure. More in who owns me now.
Can anyone clue the top and bottom at5's?
I Katie.
I Katie.
Oh Golly, Sarah Palin just said "Joe Six Pack American" yup, shes pretty red-necky. I am not a six pack American.
morning ladies:)
Hi Cross!!!
Rumor has it she is a member of the flat earth society.
My six-pack is well-insulated.
way
Hi Cross! Happy anniversary! (Right?)
i go all the way and own a keg vs a 6 pack;)
?
Hello Babblers
yup todays the day1:)
And good day to all. LOL, Crossy.
Cross, you would have been impressed by my birthday toast throwing this morning :-)
Is it your birthday Kitt?
Happy Aniversary Cross
We hit 15 years in May. Congratulations!!!!!!!!
ty all..my better half at this moment is snoring the paint off the walls:)
Hi Scrabbler. I think she was referring to alcohol, which I find odd since she is such a fundamental Christian.
Hi Chiley!
Congrats to all with happy, successful marriages.
someone say bozze?:)
Happy Bday to Hubby of Katie!
at5 a + Mr. Curtis
No it's hubby's birthday. Cross was doing champs breakfast for his wife on their anniversary, my husband had toast thrown at him as I rushed out the house!!
booze even
congratulations, cross!
habby b to kates hubby:)
Thanks, Une.
or a + annual theatre award
Sorry my net is all wonkey. I may have to toddler off
yw ;-)
Does Scarlet still Babble or has she forsaken us?
(or shake my fist at it)
Annual theater word?
yes katie,i have a bottle of henkle troken chilling right now;)
I thinkshe has forsaken us, she is seen frequently playing Noggin on facebook, btu she didnt reply to my message there...
I have not seen Scarlet here in a while, but she plays Noggin on Facebook as I get all of her accomplishments on the news feed there.
slapping the computer hard helps herin :-)
I've never been to Facebook....what is Noggin?
Scarlet has not replied to my e-mails.
at5 word meaning shriveling muscle due to nonuse--delete the "r"
same here, scrabs
Katie i can't its a lap top
Oh DUH! Have the related 6... Thanks!
Noggin is a word-grid game like this, but timed--it is Babble on cocaine. Fun, but addicting.
yw ;-)
Howzabout the first ca6/24?
champers,warm buttery croissants with apple jelly some bowls of fresh fruit and some fresh orange juice;)
There may be a solution to my issue. Just turn it off and drink
Cross, when can we join you and the beloved?
you can dive in once i open the second bottle:))
I'll have to give Facebook a look.
Have a wonderful night. Im about fed up with this net. Im just going to have a few Canadian Club and vanilla coke. Enjoy your day
I play pathwords on facebook quite a lot, really good fun
Well I am over half way and slowing. Must take a break.
ill have to warm up more croissants then...;)
mmmm croissants
Red...staying in FL?
I had enough problems trying to resist biscuits all day yesterday now I will be obsessed with croissants!
Ack! Found my 5, forgot a plural ***DENSA*** 1 word to go G'd morning everyone I missed
I have ploughed to a halt with 13 to go. Think my break time is over anyway-- Walter cannot find his pink magnet and wants my help, an dthen i should clean the kitchen. Have fun folks!
morning Lori
mmm its a bad sign when i can see a big phantom word before i even dive into the grid "tapioca"
Scarlet is definitely AWOL. Worrisome.
Yes, I am worried about Scarlet and her beloved.
don't you get sent to the pb for using the cl*** word whether it is in the grid or not? Bye Monkey
Anyone here done, and have the point total? ***pretty please?***
That's what I wondered Scrabbler, if something had changed with beloved.
Another relaxing saunter through the cumulus of letters.
I have to get ready for work....yuck!!!!!
Enjoy the day everyone!
tc scrabbs;)
BR!!! ((BR)) I have missed you! How are you?
ill have a glass of champers for you:)
Later Scrabbler, have a good day.
hi BR
1452
cumulus of letters?? lol dont you mean hurricane bar of letters?:)
Grrr, I really have to go. Bye.
hagd scrab
hah! Found it. Stoopid Latin endings
be well, Scrabbler
Hello all
for the sp
good to see you, BR!
G'd morning BR. Yes, this grid was very cloud like.
now you know why latin is a dead language,its so annoying that we all agreed to kill it
I have been called a chameleon
someone say lizards?
stuck stuck stuck
or rabbits?
latin is as dead as dead can be it killed the romans and now it is killing me
br,your awful witty for this time of the morn;)
someone say rabbits??
perhaps twitty
lovely bunnies
crossy puts some champers in a bowl and calls out"here bun buns...."
bunny and croissant sounds good
I prefer mine in stew
bunny stew is *so* good
Yuk. The only bunnies I have, are of the dust variety.
no more dust bunnies for me lori... i discovered roomba... the lazy life : )
roomba?
Is that that round vacuum thingy?
vacuum thingy?
yep, the round robotic vacuum
Why did the commuter want the carpool driver to take the bridge?
I saw it on Discovery Channel. It's so darn cute!
sweeps... returns hope, charges itself, and sweeps more
thinking BR
no idea BR
To avoid car-pool tunnel!
*groan*
ugh - glad you're back BR : )
tell one more joke that bad this time of the day and ill send you a virus:)
what do you call a fairy who refuses to bathe?
???
(as a warning, this is the 5 year old friend's favorite joke)
stinkerbell
# What happens when two snails fight? # They slug it out
LoL kje
well give us a sec lori!!! LOL
crossy dives into the grid..sploosh what do you call a blonde swede?...a norse of a different colour!..sploosh!
Non plaudite. Modo pecuniam jacite.
translate br
Okay kids, have a good one, I'm off for a surf.
sometimes reading the chat I think I have been drinking, other times I know I need one!!
don't applaud just send money
and which is this katie?
cya, Lori
we have a 2 drink minimum here katie:)
I agree with the sentiment BR
bye lori
I am on the needing side today :-)
LOL katie
mine fave is the old reliable 'carpe diem"
me too, except that it is only 0648.... maybe too early
hope i got the spelling:/
I said maybe
crossy pours kje some of his breakfast champer s:)))
I would'nt mind by I have a team meeting of death coming up!!
sounds loverly katie... good time for a quick one
a team meeting bout death?? let me guess,last one standing gets the promotion??? lol
you would need an iv drip kje
We might try that to brighten it up cross :-)
i can truthfully say that I have had team meetings about death
me too, kje :)
waht do you do ata, i forget
death is the ultimate vacation and even more fun is that visa stops bothering you
At least it can't go on for more than 3 hours as I am out of here by 5 for hubby's b'day
well, that was during palaentology times
3 hour meeting???? sheesh
crossy pours another glass of champers in honor of kate,s hubbys b day:)
aaaahhh ata
one of the dept's big things was taphonomy - how things decompose from death onwards :)
this is the short one, every other one goes for at least 4 hours
ahh getting into forensics?
good morning!
ata... i have to say that is strangely interesting
pretty much, yep. how bodies decompose, physically and chemically. but generally dead fish and dead small mammals!
hi shene
MISERICORDE, n. A dagger which in mediaeval warfare was used by the foot soldier to remind an unhorsed knight that he was mortal.
what if ind interesting is that they can establish a very close time of death by the hatching cycles of larvae and maggo ts etc
it does sound very interesting. We are doing risk profiling and Regional Spatial Strategy - I want dead small animals!!
seriously stuck at 40 - think I must list
it is, kje. its fascinating. the things you can establish from a carcass / fossil is amazing
wait, 39
absolutely, cross. forensics has become *so* scientific now. amazing
shoot... that just makes me avoid the list again.... aaaaggghhhh
back for a moment, I have 59 left, but I think I can do this one without list.
we have massive shale beds here,been meaning to take the boy fossil hunting
LOL red, I am doubting my ability to do that with 39 left
If crossy keeps pouring out that champers he will be ti5/16 before his wife wakes up!
I have been now brave enough to ascertain that my stocks are oddly up.
Now I just have to looks at the 403B.
and thank YOU FM!
Red, are you staying in FL for the winter?
whereabouts are you in canada, cross?
sokay fm,they seem to be very small bottles:/
:) KJE
You can do it kje. and Yes Chiley, I was lucky to get a very good contract, of the sort I imagine I wont see agian. I am glad I signed before the bad news.
in in central ontario on georgian bay at the base of blue mtn;)
What is champers?
lol Crossy and best wishes you you and Mrs Crossy!
3 hours north of torontoata
Champagne chiley
tyvm fm;))

i dont know if this link will work but here are some pics of where i live http://images.google.ca/images?hl=en&q =town%20of%20the%20blue%20mountains&um =1&ie=UTF-8&sa=N&tab=wi
never quite figured out what is a good bait to catch ice with when ice fishing
olives of course:)
oh gorgeous!
you just keep your martini glass handy and yer all set
that link working?
yep
though its easier in babble to paste the link into tinyurl so it gives a nice short url!
was just voted into the top 20 list of the best places in ontario to live:))
COOL!...shh there is a deer on our front lawn......
oooooo!
phantom: teopan
*whispers to crosshair 'we saw a fox in the neighbor's yard yesterday'
I dreamt about elk last night. does that count?
k im back...we are also in a apple belt and with rutting season coming the deer are really starting to move around;0
we are about 600 miles too far south for elk ata:)
I really want to see a moose
my father live 3 hours north of me and is in moose country:)
wahh! lucky him! I looove mooses
my wife thinks they are adorable
Yes, I wanted to see a Moose when I was in NH, but it never happened, and Now in FLorida I have yet to see an Alligator.
i used to hunt them but now i do all my hunting with a camera;)
does moose taste good?
moose is a very lean,gamey tasting meat great for stews or saussages
mmmm
better for you tan beef actually
I know elk tastes good
I like Deer balony.
when you do want a moose roast you need to lay a few strips of bacon across it when you cook it in the oven
lol@ deer balogna
bologna?? ahh snouts and entrails!
It has been tasty.
snouts?
do snouts taste good?
mm that second bottle of champers is looking a tad chilly....
if you like hot dogs,the answer is yes:)
really? ooo
the meat plant has all theese roller conveyors that they send meat too and from the coolers with,when it comes time for a section cleaning they clean all the build up off the roller belts and other machine parts and bingo! you have hot dog meat:))
any clues on the ho 6?
that sounds sooooo appetising
champers?...at THIS hour crossy?
mm i could go for a nice steamed foot long hot dog right now with lots of relish and honey mustard
its my honeymoon carlee;))
then WHAT are you doing on babble?
or anniversary or schomething:))
wife still sleeping?
15 years:))
well..happy day crossy
yup she just snored the cat out of the bedroom
well..enjoy ur day....
my darling buttercup sounds a tad like a harrier jet doing a touch and go..might wake her before she swallows a pillow;)
ty carlee
cold up there this am ( outside i mean?)
6 celcius
we already had our first frost
going to be 4c overnight here on the weekend..and I am taking my kids CAMPING..i MUST be insane
best time for camping:))
brrrrrr
i hope so
dont set up the tent too near the water though,you get a damp chill that way
i have to get hands on a spare tent... and a spare air matress
we camping at riverside..might not have a choice
then have the fire between the tent and the water
( pinery provincial park...riverside area ....is only area open )
yea..i plan on that one
we going to do some canoeing
lots of marshmallows and hot dogs:))
40 left!
a very good morning to all
banana boats..pocket stew...garlic shrimp kabobs
go Redturtle, go
hi mon {{HUGZ!!!}}}
mornin babblers!
oatmeal in the morning with eggs and toast
howdy mom! crossy passes mom a flute glass of henkle troken as its anniversary day!
Happy Anniversary, Crossy and good morning
{{Hugs}} Carlee, so good to see you
hi eva....
Hi Eva
Nudging crossy.....
youll have to catch up im on my second:)
almost time to wake the lil woman
**poking*** crossy
crossy hands a glass to carlee;)
thank you....
sorry had to open a fresh one:)
can I have one too?
mm i can see they make theese bottle way too small
*blinks blankly at empty hand*
may have to order more
i think am taking abottle of amerone with me camping....
crossy pors off the last of the first bottle to ata;)
mmmmm I *love* amerone
eve get the first one off the top of the second bottle;))
i having sucky cat on my lap...and the claws are digging into knee cap
you can tell when our cats start walking across the keyboard as my spelling suddenly improves:/
amerone is such a winter wine to me.... its going to be cold...i just might have to
lol same here
I just wish it wasn't so expensive!
our ice wines are amazing carlee.have you tried any of them?
crossy..any other cold weather camping tips u care to share..this is going to be a new one ofr me
sec carlee..thinking....
ugh..i hate ice wine..too too sweet..i like dry wines
smores *nod*
taking a toque
( banana boats this time ata....)
when you strip down for the night put your clothes inside the bottom of the sleeping bag,that way they wont be all damp in the morning
we take rubbermaid totes for gear.... so clothes don't get damp...
if you not on quite level ground,always have your head pointing uphill....
cool maybe..damp..no
those sleeping bag pads for hard ground are great things also
air matress ( with fleece blanket between air matress and sleeping bag )
hints for the E in the bottom right corner?
fleece blanket and then a layer of tin foil
make sure you are upwind of your fire so you dont set the tent on fire with sparks...ive seen it happen:)
well..yes..that a given... hehehe
the ep7 and 8 sounds like radioactive iso**** and plural
never set the tent up under a tree
that impossible.....as we in the woods
if you are in bear country hang the food in tree
TY carlee :)
food in car...locked up
i know that but try not to set up right under one..im sure its not a solid canopy
( we in raccoon country.. and they bold...
must be a bit of open sky:))
completely impossible crossy.....totally in the woods...about 4 square feet at any given locale
oh well...
but sounds like you have most of the other things covered
lots of spare socks,the big wolly ones
mmmm....yoplait light fat free yogurt in Boston Cream Pie.... its like having dessert for breakfast!
yea...extra blankets...warm hats for sleeping/ hoodies... lots of firewood...
yeap..wooly socks
mmmm....yoplait light fat free yogurt in Boston Cream Pie.... its like having dessert for breakfast!
36 left, I should go do something else.... enjoy champers Cross and enjoy camping carlee, and enjoyyogurt Evan.
good...good..now lets check the alcohol supplies;))
well, sorry for the double post!
i like thost yoghurts..but I rather the pie
crossy..i work at a wine store..aI have just about every wine going except the ones I hate..whites...and cab sav
hats in bed. very important
i usually have dannon light + fit for breakfast -- its the lowest in calories/fat/sugar, but i keep this yoplait boston cream pie around for those times when i really want something sweet...
bye bye Red
lots of amerone, brunello, SA pinotage, sangiovese, merlot
up here when we do late fall/winter camping we take wine skins of cherry whiskey as it dosent freeze and is great as a cough syrup:))
<GAG SPUTTER CHOKE>
i ikely won't drink..only adult on site...with 3 kids ( 13-17 )
ahh then its lots of hot sweet tea for you
hot chocolate????
hot chocolate with a sneaky shot of baileys in
hot chocolate... with a little splash of frangelico. ;)
Hi Ata

time for me to get busy. I wish you all fireworks. Carlee, have a safe campout. {Hugs}} to all
take a hot dog...and slit part way up into 8 "legs"...put solid end on your stick..and as the dog cooks the "legs" curl up like spiders
lmao *creeps away from Evan*
I think tehre's a legal upper limit for arachnid bits...
enjoy your day mom...{{hugs}}
Oooohhhh, yummmm!!!!
{{Carlee}} have a good day as well
the legs get kinda crunchie..they yumm...only way I really like a hot dog
Carlee...have you heard from Scarlet? Does she not like us anymore?
o think the limit is 8 units of bug matter to every 100 of meat
so long as there are no *actual* spiders involved...
OK, 11 words left and time to reload the dishwasher. The landlord was just here re-siliconing the ocunter edges and I also have to put everything back up. Ta, all!
I called her a few weeks ago....I guess I best callher again....
maybe a tarantula on a stick would do the same
lol

Good afternoon everyone.
Hi ELder! How are you?
That power must come with the Vice Prez's office
Dr1, fine thank you and yourself ?.
I am well thank you.. just warm here in Southern California
Dr1 .. Lovely.:)
halfway there. going to take a break and go to barnes and noble...bye, dear babblers
Bye ANnie
hello Annie and Bye.
Good afternoon/morning all.
Hi Haz
Hello Haz.
Hello there! nice to see you with us, elder - how are you feeling?
Haz, I am feeling ok. Somewhat sore, but doing fine considering. Thank you for asking.
That's good. It's always nice to be on the other side of a procedure.
yes :)
*pops head round the door* Afternoon Haz and Hi again elder
Good afternoon FMitch - chilly sort of day, isn't it?
Haz, even better if your part of the medical team.
Hello FMitch.
mm but so sunny and blueeee
well, I finished and am off to start me day- Best of luck to all of you! ENjoy your day!
Incredibly windy though.
It would be good day for curtains etc.
Bye Dr1.
Congrats DR
Bye DR.
I've seen a few umbrellas blown inside out today.
Well done !! DR1.
Bye Haz, FM and Elder ( and the lurkers)
Too windy to put anything out to dry here.
Haz, Has Mary Poppins flown by?.
Mary Poppins would stay put if she had any wit!
Annie the Flying Nun just went over! She's way off course.
lol
You're right - Barnes and Noble is nowhere near you, is it?
:)
ummm that went over my head :(
She signed off saying that she was going to Barnes and Noble.
Oh I have an excuse then I missed that entry, phew there is hope for me yet.
9.04 - Annie signed off.
Well I just saw you and elder and didn't bother reading back.
any clue for the ep7 ?
I thought you meant a flying nun, could see her trying to keep hold of the rosiery and praying furiously.
can't think of a clue ... Haz?
ep7.36 - mix up the letters of a pastry dish (three letters) then mix up the letters of one who writes in verse.
The ending rhymes with the deer like animal ant*****.
thanks HAZ ... got it
hint: start with the e in the right hand column (upper one) for the 7 and use the bottom e for is pl, the 8
Great - and plural it for ep8.
the ending is to4/5
hi again - back for a few more - need an i - all I have is ic 4/5, tried icecap and ipecac which of course are not there..
io4/4 JBV
I could give you a clue, but whether it will make one io4/4 of difference?
oh, thanks, I'm always blind to that one! :)
helloJBV.
I'm always blind to asea and niece.
Me too I found the c8 no probs but the io4 took ages
that's funny, Haz, I was going to say "asea" also is in my blind spot
I think quite a few people find that as well, JBV.
but naturally the babblets like to 4/4 jump right out at us - strange
It's a conspiracy.
We have reached nirvanah, we only recognise babblets!
I miss the tenrec.
And when was the last time we had a good Welsh word?
I have his picture in my icon collection :) Another rare one is the lipstick tree. we had iwis just the other day.
That's true, it was a rare sighting.
crwth however becoming a fable it has been so long.
People will look at us strangely if we start talking about the days of the crwth. It must have been hard for the last people to see the dodo. How do you convince the next generation that it really did exist?
LOL
'No, honestly, it was thiiiiiis big. And the beak!'
break needed . bye for now.
Bye elder - hope you feel more comfortable soon.
Bye elder, find another position to be comfortable in.
Bed for a while and tablets.
And dream of George.
Oh bit of an incident in the high street this morning Big crane trundling down the road on catapillar tread and came to narrow part of road, 2 x huge 4x4 cars parked on one side and raised flowerbeds on the other.
And....?
Realises he is giong to hit wing mirror so stops and gets out to move it, forgets crane is at slight angle so misses mirror with front of crane but does not miss back of car with back of crane.
Oh no!
and then does same to the one in front!
I am the next car in line.
Oh no! Oh no!
Oh noooooo!
Leap into car, gun engine and zoom out of way
What a relief!
by which time he has decided probably best not to move any further.
Goodness. Can you imagine crane driver having to report to his boss?
And filling in insurance forms is going to be good for the car drivers. 'My car appears to have been crushed by a large mechanical crane'
HEaven knows how much damage he did! Deep dodos, both were v expensive looking cars.
He would probably have been better trying to crush the flowerbeds. (with apologies to all gardeners)
I had to shoot off to a meeting so didn't see angry owners emerging from where ever they were! think they were too high for him to gain purchase on them :)
The police are probably still there taking measurements and scratching heads.
and that concludes story time :)
HAve you finished the grid?
If you see an appeal on Crimewatch you can spill the beans.
Yes, grid done.
There wer loads of witnesses as it was 9am and v busy
Interesting one today, fair amount of head scratching
They'll probably report to the police that a female speeded away from the scene. Probably his accomplice.
Oh ha ha!! *grin*
I tell you, you'll get the blame somewhere along the line.
Yes, quite a few words that I entered more in hope than certainty.
speeded? Is that a proper past tense?
As his catapillar tracks were almost as high as my car it was rather intimidating when he stopped just behind me. sped?
sped
Haz, time for your meds I think dear.
I've looked it up - speeded - travelled at irregular or dangerous speed. Pretty accurate in this case.
eek phone and doorbell. TTFN
Bye for now.
That'll be the police wanting to take a statement...
hi all
Hello ardilla.
good morning everyone
Good morning flosey.
has crossy been in this morning?
He certainly has - he's in fine spirits.
hope he's still around
He'll probably turn up again.
did he complete the grid?
he's not online right now
just wanted him to see my icon for his 15th anniveresary
Let me check back.
anniversary too!!!
Yes - I knew!
If I see him flosey I'll tell him to look at it via the rankings tables he can view it from there :) It's a great icon btw.
thanks FM
I didn't realize that FM, will try it sometime - do you just click on the name in the list?
yes it's that easy :)
thanks, learned another new bit about babble today
you're welcome
I haven't seen babrab in a long time, is he still around?
Yes, he was on earlier. He hadn't been saying much for a while and doesn't post as often as he used to but he seems to be okay.
thanks Haz
You're welcome, flosey. I think FMitch and I could go on a quiz and take Babble as our specialised subject. But we're not addicted at all.
lol, but your knowledge of babble and clues are much appreciated
I think we're a bit like the fixtures and fittings.
lol
that's what my boss said when I quit to get married - thought you were a permanent fixture around here!!
I'm sure he meant it as a compliment!
...said in a very kind way, he was just a sweet, gentle person
Was it a case of wanting to leave to get married or was it an understood thing that you would leave? It used to be expected in some jobs, I think.
oh no, was leaving Toronto, hubby was a student at UBC
Oh I see.
my phantom today: ozone
good morning Sean
morning flosey :)
Hello Sean.
Back again It's been like Clpham Junction today with all the commings and goings.
Hi Sean
hi haz
and FM
So, FMitch, was it the police at the door looking for a witness statement?
Oh you are so droll MRs Haz, it was a courier actually
shortly followed by the chap clearing B's garage.
He was probably an undercover cop sent to see if you were dangerous.
Oh, well, you're making progress then. (They're probably searching for contraband.)
Ah no that would have been the armed response unit they sent round to pick up the guns a while back!
Wasn't it as well you got rid of them?
**throwing things about nervously** what about cops looking for contraband?
You hear of people being convicted with circumstantial evidence...
Never really been comfortable around guns even when I had a shotgun, but I guess that is better than being clase.
*blase rather!
Well, Sean, it depends on who tells the story. Fmitch will claim innocence.
IT's OK Sean you are safe :)
but FM, why did you have a shotgun? if I may ask
It's just as well my real reputation is safe because my babble one is torn to shreds by my so called friends daily :)
I'm glad someone asked.
I was a member of a clay pidgeon gun club.
I would have thought you'd use rifles for that FM
yeah... i hate clay pigeons too
This puts a new light on teasing FMitch.
Some use side by side shotguns I had a double chanber single barrelled Remmington .
wow, sorry, guns scare me
I've always led the way for FMitch to be declared free of all blame for everything.
ROFL
I won't hear a word said against her.
A fine, upstanding woman and a source of information about babble that can't be beaten.
OK don't over do it!
Too much?
a tad :)
gentleman...scholar... we get it Haz :P
no, well said Haz
gentlewoman perhaps?
She's an upstanding woman - except when she's ti5/16.
true flosey, but the reference doesn't make as much sense that way
thanks haz, didn't have that one
Yea good point flosey - who you calling a man Sean ;)
You're welcome, flosey.
I'm a nice girl honest :)
Think very carefully before you reply, Sean...
would you believe i'm color blind? can't tell the difference between those pink and blue icons...
A master-stroke.
Have you thought of a career in the Diplomatic Service?
haha
LOL
hi all; saw reat pic of you flosey via stid - and jilli told me one of the 2 "lads" was your hubby; cute couple
*great, g button is on work slowdown
hope you're all healed sean
well, i need to get back to work... good talking to you. hopefully i'll be back later, if work allows
oops, wrong person, ignore
"SAVE the CLAY Pigeons!..
Bye Sean and Hi nDan
thanks Dan, we had a great time together when the Stids were up here - lol that lad is forever young
Bye Sean.
Hello nDan and ruru.
hi haz and FM and sean
and flosey..did I miss anyone?
Hey ruru :)
bye for now Sean
I have returned. Made the mistake of checking out the latest stock market cartwheels. Oy.
hi there ruru
Hello Judi. Best not to look at anything financial for a while, I reckon.
someone is makin gmoney on these flucuations
oh Judi - hi, and that could be depressing
hi all. judi, don't look.
yo yos need while to settle down
Hello TO - nice to see you.
Hi TO
yes, amazing thing is all the buy/sell profits would cover the mess, but wrong pockets
yoyo's are still in office though
Amen. What a nightmare. Although, my measley investments seem to be holding their own. (fingers, toes and portfolio crossed).
hope they stay that way Judi
I mean your stocks, not your appendages
Hello TO!
Me too, Flosey. I'd hate to be put in the position where I have to work another 40 years in order to retire.
well i lost 1/3 of one investment. but statement came BEOFRE the big fall. oy.
our soccer parent pow wow decided cure is to vote all incumbants out of office, then remainder might worry so much they'd actually try to do the job they are paid for - like reading, reasearching and understanding what they are voting on
Ouch, TO. There's a lot of that going around.
any clues for that e in the bottom right corner?
oh well. so what if i have to work till i drop. i LVOE my job.
ep8/50
its the ep 8 50; 7 is credited down, but 8 must go up
clairebear - it's the ep8 - plural of ep7.
ok
anything else?
oh thanks haz
Well, there's a plus. Getting paid to do what you love. Good fer ya, baby.
ep7/36 actually comes from the upper E but could also be from the lower one
and ndanlia
It's great to have a job like that TO
unclench your jaw & let your tongue out of your cheek
There are so many banks buyinig other banks right now, I can't keep it straight. I just hope American owned companies aren't selling out to the Chinese or Saudis, etc.
*sigh* where's sarcastic font when you need it?
You need those gritted teeth emoticons as well.
Oh dear I was being serious, I have loved the jobs I've had, sorry :(
Sorry, TO. You faked me out. Keep playing those lottery numbers.
chinese are our biggest creditors, russians 2nd; dutch & english own most companies & properties
my bank just merged. stock went up nicely too
We definitely need emoticons in Babble. I love those little suckers.
nDan: so THEY'll be getting abiled out, too!
Go figure, TO. Economics confound me in general.
phantom: opiate. which i could use about now :/
like the big merging frenzy in the late 80s for banks
it's easy judi - 1 % owns everything & they occassionally let others thinks they do, but then pull something to make you face reality
Mmmmm. Opiates. lol.
Would opiates not make you sn6/33?
thanks again Haz
You're welcome!
How about a po6/24 anyone *grin*
Accompanied by a baked po6/21?
my dauhter's fav late night meal [go figure]; first word i saw
hmmm, don't have that one, going to look for it
[remember, the g is on work slowdown today]
Hello, hello!
when you find it flosey don't forget to pl it.
Hello Hello Hello!
echo echo!
gooooooooooood morning babbleonia
Hello joshua.
morning josh
Oooh, Haz is upping the for-once-not-in-the-grid ante!
Morning josh
Hiyo, Josh!
I just wanted to sound enthusiastic and welcoming.
That takes a lot of acting ability?
The Oscar will be mine this year. Step aside Meryl Streep.
*claps politely*
Of course it will Haz, of course it will.
so haz, are you trying for a part in the Lone Ranger movie, or are you waiting until george announces if its true; daughter is sold on johnny depp being in it
hi josh. haz how abut som ejellied salad as 5 with that po6/21 HAZ YOU ARE NOT GENUINELY HAPPY TO BE HERE?
Thank you all. You don't know how much this means to me.
i thought topsy would be a word, but i guess not
I guess only when turvy's around.
Bada Bing! Fireworks!
change the 2nd letter for a valid one - reminds me of your green frog
Congrats Judi
Yay for Judi!
i think they figured list would be too long, so out of every 3 words they p icked the most obscure
oh yeah, i should probably change that now that i'm not hungover and all sick
Congratulations Judi!
yeah judi
Lone Ranger? George Clooney? Please, not Johnny Depp.
WTG judi!
wtg Judi
he's said to be slated for tonto
[jd that is], george would star
I'd like to thank Lickety for the bail-out (albeit not financial).
Tonto. Pffth.
But, who will play Silver?
after 20 minutes with this grid it still looks like gibbereish
That's gibberish with 6 o's, TO.
Even when comlete it still looks that way TO
So, Haz, who are you wearing for the Oscars? (It always sounds so bizarre when they ask that!)
i surrender ... are the ep 7 and 8 words i would know / understand / have heard of????
I'm off to lunch. Hi Ho, Honda!
oh my, bollywood is on strike
I don't like to give too many details away. Negotiations and all that.
e + peach center + abandon all h***
ep7: iso's relative.
I've never used the ep7 and ep8.
they are the parts of antigens that cause reaction n& can bind to form antibodies
Good day, all! *poof*
bye judi
well that clears it up :)
See, aknitter, you knew all along, didn't you?
Bye Judi.
why just used it at a cocktail party the other day
bye judi!
Of course you did. It just slipped your mind.
Was that the same cocktail party where you were drinking yarn?
it was indeed - so you cansee how that would cloud your memory
the words just got tangled
those knitters are big dirnkers. she probably forgot.
icon successfully changed
Fuzzy memories, etc;
my mind was tied into knots
She was all strung out.
ooh good vicuna
you are clever!
hello friends, a pretty-sized grid today, eh?
hi stid
Hello stid.
got me all tied up!
josh, daughter wants to know where you got that one
Why, thank you, aknitter! =)
hi stiddy
Were you in stitches?
phantom: ipecac
oh geez
okay, lecture begins. ontime, surprisingly. back later. I hope.
(Just don't anyone mention needles, or we'll scare away Haz.)
have a stitch in my side from laughing
no idea nDan - i scour the internet and find pictures all the time and stash them on flickr, and always forget where i got them
I've been phantoming ipecac, too. And speciate.
ipecac???? you people have weird minds
Uh, hi, bye, Stidmama!
knit: you say that like it's a revelation...
you know you're not supposed to use that anymore
And that you don't approve?
Anyway, what have minds got to do with it? It 's the grid's fault.
on the contrary haz i am here with my kitty laughing my head off and he is looking at ME like i am crazy
Yep, nDan. No ipecac for us.
Poor cat. Not to be able to understand the joy of laughter.
ok peeps, must go walkies. later all - nice to see you.
We'll know we're good when we're enough to make a cat laugh.
you too TO, bye
Bye, TO. Enjoy the walk!
Bye TO, have a good walk and take no ipecac.
have a nice walk TO
hmmm, just monkeyed 2 sa6 words unfamiliar to me
yesterday when the site acted up at lunchtime, i got a "blocked site" message. i was in a panic.
Do you think the Cat of Glory ever laughs?
cats don't laugh. they smirk.
who is the cat of glory?
only hysterically
Sniggers, perhaps.
one of them is truman's "s"ister
It's kind of an honorary title awarded to the Cat Most Mentioned in the log.
my cat would like to nominate himself since he puts up with me
lol stop it you lot i must tear myself away
they smile amusedly at our illusions of superiority & control
But you don't talk about your cat enough for him to qualify, aknitter. You must include every detail of his life.
oh i have no doubt who is in charge in this house it is meeko
If your cat wants it, aknitter, you'll need to start keeping the entire log apprised of his every move.
ROFL
You know - he blinked. He blinked again. He's moved. He's stop moving.
Go on, TO! Git!
well lets see 11:09 stretched 11:10 rolled over 11:11 sleeping .... that about sums it up!
stopped moving that should be.
Not nearly enough detail, aknitter. Where are the cuteness factor details?
That's not enough, Haz. You have to describe just how adorably he blinked, and how crazily he rolled over, etc.
*wipes tears* bye-eee *poof*
he does like to play fetch with a ball does he qualify for the talent portion of the contest?
And plenty of those awwwwww moments. Every awww moment.
Oh, whoops. As usual, Haz manages to squeak in ahead of me!
it has to be something like that: awwwww sily just rolled over! her tummy spots are sooooo cute! she looked at me! awww!
Does he juggle the ball?
Oh no, Ata appears with her nominee!
juggle? now that would be undignified cat behavior he is not a show off
There's going to be a cat fight for the title.
clealy i need to keep a more detailed journal of his life
Does he help you wind your yarn? You know, sit with his little paws akimbo?
Wait, everyone, Nightshade has the cutest whiskers in the whole entire world! They're so whiskery! And cute!
and long and shiny?
I think you're a very slack owner if you haven't got all this documented aknitter. We need videos.
and deadly when needed
he loves to "help" me with my yarn unfortunatley we define the word help a bit differently
And she purrs and purrs and purrs and... oh, ouch she just bit me. Isn't that the cutest thing? She thinks I'm so funny!
ae 5/12 clue would really help me
pl of long time
Must take a quick break..... no cat of glory awards without me!
well, hobbit mst be the dog of glory, just look at her eyes in my pic
ae5/12 - ends with US spie organization
i have decided that you are all just jealous of my kitty! yup that is it
that is the 5/10 ndan
spy. Whatever.
thanks vicuna
*.. and there shall come amongst them a CAT of such GREAT GLORY that all who see it will be Sore Amazed and Marvel at its Splendour..!*
Huh, aknitter. Your kitty is just so mundane.
sorry
Hey, people, I challenge you all to cat icon pics at 40 paces!
jealous jealous jealous .....
Chicken?
Oh yes please Vi I am feeling very hungry.
My cat has a naked blobby paunch and the ugliest splotchy color you ever saw, yet she shall dazzle you all!
Ha ha, FM. Have a chicken po6.
*my* cat has stripes *and* spots
I win
Now that you mention it, FM, I see that it's lunchtime. Back in a moment.
lol ruru
Back.
Oh no, rururocks with the quick draw!
i have tried to upload my kitty but i keep getting a not in the right fomat message
Cat icon? Let me see....
.jpg files work best ak
ooh, truman's "s"ister is the marmalade tree, what a great catish tree
it is a digital pic how do i change that
first at the 5/14 too please
what is its file name, ak?
*** breaks out cruumpets *** and toaster
The original cat of glory <----------
off to look
Im 2nd
at5/14 - a plus any of Mr Bennett or Mr Blair or Mr Soprano
Hey all.
Hello Bzzn.
it says jpeg
Clue for the E in bottom right corner?
thank you haz..
file size might be too big?
You're welcome, ruru.
hmmm. sounds ok. you could try taking the e out, making it a jpg. sometimes works
or upload it somewhere else online and then link to it
ep8 - plural of ep7 - if you need more help, sing out.
don't mention singing near Vi
perhaps it is too big will try to get it to resize with paint .. off to play
There's mine. Doesn't show her cutesy-wutesy wittew face very well, but not the star: clearly a sign of her Glory.
I mean NOTE the star.
I'm so overcome with looking at the cat of glory that I didn't think.
Maybe she didn't see the singing reference. Nobody mention it and we might be safe.
la la la!
Thank goodness I had time to get the emergency earplugs in.
TY, Haz. Got it.
That's my tip of the day. Keep earplugs about you at all times for you never know when a Vicuna might sing.
Vi have you been practicing, you got a note right!
LA LA LA!!!!
You're welcome, Bzzn.
There, see how nice FM is to me? =)
ah ha! I did it -- is he not the cutest (insert awwww here)
No wonder Vicuna's cat has her face to the wall. She's clearly trying to retreat from the noise.
Awwwwwwwweeeeeeeee
He is a handsome cat. But does he have any Russian about him?
Oh well, if you like that sort of thing, aknitter.
I'm afraid my cat is cuter
What about my kitty cat?? Huh??
We need an independent judge here. These women are clearly not balanced.
*just put an old pic of baby sily up*
But then, we've known that for a long time.
I vote for FM's cat. Because FM is nice to me!
russian? he is siamese if you please lol
*whispers -cheques in the post Vi*
FM's cat is ....THE SUBJECT OF A STEWARD'S ENQUIRY.
*Thanks, dear. Any time.*
Why's that, Haz?
**shocked look**
Bribery and corruption. I can sniff it out anywhere.
my cat is corruption free
Cat bribing the mice to play dead?
bribes? I have chocolate and cheese cake
fireworks ova heah
My cat is decorum free.
Haz I don't want to remind you of our earlier conversation but I will if I have to ;)
WOOHOO! JOSH!
congrats josh
Yay for joshuavorbis!
sily is corruption free and decorum full
FMitch is a fine upstanding woman. I won't hear a word against her.
meows for josh
Especially if I have my ear plugs in.
Congratulations josh!
good ... and the cute kitty?
That's only because you still have your earplugs in Haz.
AAAARRGGH!!!! Why do you always beat me to the punch?
(aknitter, your cat is goooorgeous! what is his name?)
The cute kitty displayed in FMitch's icon is indeed very cute. (contained within this statement is a code indicating that it is being made under duress)
Must be because Europe's 11:31 comes before mine!
my kitty's name is meeko ata. i was just off oogling all the kitties we have a rather handsome group here
se 5/16?
LOL call yourself the chief of Police - principals went right out the windw!
Poor Vicuna. You need frenzied fingers to keep up with me.... if you'd stop singing, you'd be able to type more quickly.
Everybody's kitty is prettier than mine! lol
what a lovely name!!
the last 10 minutes were me trying to figure out wtf the ap6's were
noooo Vi! I love Nightshade!
Awe Vi yours is beautiful!
se5/16 - a rank in the Indian army? se plus opposite of girl but change the first consonant.
se5/16 - ends with something that rhyes with male child
ata what is your kitties name he /she has cool eyes
thanks
she's called Silverclaw and is well known to be the prettiest cat in the world :P
(See, Haz beat me again. and I wasn't even singing. Perhaps I shall start singing laments about the unfairness of life, etc etc)
But can she juggle balls? Or roll wool?
she can Translocate
Vicuna - don't do it! Don't turn into a country and western singer!
Nightshade comes when I whistle. That's her only sign of intelligence.
meeko is going to enter the talent portion of the competition. he had a small problem with his right eye (it is sl crossed) but we try not to discuss it LOL
*shocked voice* I would NEVER sing country and western, Haz! I was thinking more in the vein of Lieder, or possibly Fada.
Well, thank goodness for that.
not sure what Silverclaw does that is intelligent. She just sits around acknowledging adoration
Actually, she stayed away from the children until they were 4 or 5, and that's a sign of quite advanced intelligence, now that I think about it.
Good afternoon all....(why has everyone got pictures of cats ?)
No rescuing people from burning buildings?
No alerting people to children trapped down wells?
These cats have a lot to do to catch up with Lassie.
she can do back flips ...
Hello caitlyn!
lassie ... timmy's in the well... poor lassie you'd have thought she would have quit!
hi cait!
Changed icon
Somebody mentioned the Cat of Glory and it kind of took off from there. These babblers get very enthusiastic sometimes.
cait have you ever considered changing your name to cat?
Hello cait :)
This is the first time I have changed my icon since Atas birthday............meow knitter
Hello, caitlyn!
PO 6/21 please
Okay, I guess I'd better change my icon, too.
dryer calling meeko and i must go toss in another load bbs
There, Haz. Is this cat talented enough for you?
spuds ruru
My cat is just cute!!
(Yikes, what a storm. if I suddenly disappear, assume I've been washed away.)
crap I had that I need the next one put it in the wrong spot
p
You need the dinner in a crust, ruru?
Be careful Vi
no........
duh
I am so blind
*gets ready the bucket of fish*
That is one clever cat, Vi!
and pl it ruru
*** feels like Stevie Wonder for a minute***
That will please all the cats FM
grin
Oooh. Very non-PC ruru. Speaking of a blind black man...
Nightshade would probably prefer a bucket of cheese, but as I've switched her out, she won't know.
Anyway, sad to report that I am needed in the kitchen. Spangle would be willing to cook but she's just not great with the cracking of eggs yet. Back later!
Haz I am so politically incorrect most of the time it isn't funny
Bye Haz think I might head that way too.
ap 6/24 for my last word please
What are you cooking tonight Haz?
Goodbye, Haz. And keep working with Spangle on the cooking. You never know when a new trick might take!
ap6/24 - ends with some astrological fish
Bye FM and Haz
(minus a letter)
I think she has really gone to do hourswork but just won't admit it.
Awwww, goodbye, FM, as well.
hi everyone... how's it going?
Im hungry Vi :(
Hi AsG
Hello, AsGreen.
some odd words in this grid?
FM do you want me to cook a pork chop for you ?
We can't have that, FM. Go eat. *sigh*
thank you...
lol - got the y's pretty easily
Yay for rururocks?
random question for all you lovely americans: is there a name for the style of art seen in the northwest US / native americans - very stylised using red and black and white pretty much only
hi ruru and wtg!
Congrats ruru!!
Oh please cait, droool!!
LOL sorry FM !!
Congrats ruru and now I am really off, back later.
It would be called after the tribe, probably, Ata. Tlingit is a common one.
Often they're grouped as "Northwest coast Indians"
ty! I shall try googling for that :D
See you later FM enjoy supper
(another part of the Grendel commission!)
I know you work with art Ata but what is your job ?
lol. He's piling it all on!
cait, you are in the grid, though not a word!
anything anyone wants to pay me to do!
this is a different pic for the same guy - a Pacific Northwest green man
I knew I would be famous one day AsG
LOL Ata
Hmmm... As you pointed out, they don't usually use much green! lol
But they do a ton of masks, so in that respect it should meld well.
yes ... and I've found a wonderful petroglyph face from the Columbia Gorge to use as a base
Cool!
lots of fun words in this grid!
no trying to decide whether to be traditional for a green man or way out stylised
Its not too bad a grid AsG
Fun. Fiddle with it both ways.
in fact, it's ea4/6...
I am :)
ooops brb
its ea4 apart from my last 10
back for last 18

I'll show you why I was asking in a day or two :D
Embarrassing, but... op4/5?
I tried to make ho + meal in a crust! oh well
just that some of the students in my class are interested in studying them, and you are the only water-person I know.
hello monkey -- not :closes" but op**
Probably going to ask for a lot of clues; been glaring at these few words off and on for hours.
kje - 38 left - you? no list (but definitely chog clues)
okay, gotta head out to grab some handouts. later gators!
Thanks!
Bye Stid!
33
what in particular? how can I help you? let me know!
figures kje, figures
ot4?
32
only have about 10 minutes, then must dash
then, will likely not see you all for a couple weeks - if you see me kick me off
We'll miss you!
why why why?
back again... I am not moving easily today, but didn't want to use the crutches (can't carry my coffee on crutches)
grant
kje! why!!! *sob*
out stumping for O?
my division director told me yesterday he wants me to submit... due October 15 - insanity I tell you!
thanks atalante, the class is microbial ecology... an introductory class to all the microbes, nice and not-so...
ok, not a good excuse - babble comes first....
just plain nasty kje
so seriously... after today, if you see me, kick me out
i am addicted, so may go through withdrawal, but you must exhibit tough love
*readies BIG BOOT for kje*
perhaps a gentle nudge kje
sorry kje, I don't have it in me
pa4/5??? I only have 6 left and they are driving me insane...
hi all!
ah big mama up to the job
I quit once..... I came back
with her stern mama look
oooo fun. look up shellfish poisoning - those are all microbe driven, all sorts of nice pretty microbes
pa4, ot4, op4.... and the rest are po's.
oh, no worries asg - I WILL be back - LOL - but after october 15
yep. red tide!
LOL flosey!!!!
sorry phone..........
I go to CA on 10/15.... omg, what will we do? are you allowed on facebook? I can't believe you are grounded!
we'll celebrate when you return then kje
okay, time for next lecture. should be relatively informative, this is the librarian.
but there are more cool ones. paralytic shellfish poisoning, neurotoxic SP, amnesic SP etc
thanks flos
I'm loving the words in this grid, btw
I do not know asg... I may get despondent so be sure to send me all kinds of mean things... you know what I need : )
My friend had the one with the very colorful hallucinations, the high fever, and the shaking...
tell your director that we need to talk kje; this just doesn't work with my schedule AT ALL
oh, the fun one!
he is a new yorker, asg, doubt if you can talk him down : )
must shower, etc. lunch date
Not exactly what she thought at the time... but she's just glad to be alive. Has not been able to touch anything with clams in it in the 12 years since.
kje, *I'M* a New Yorker
oooh, have fun flosey!
"fun" in terms of marine biology
she's luck to be alive and unaffected
I will probably give up on the last 6 words soon.
no, you are a new jersey, girl, no?
Oh, I know! Didn't think you really thought it was fun to HAVE!
LOLOL
She sure is!
c
no no MG, you can't give up with 6 to go
c what dan
marine toxins was always my area of real interest though during uni
I am starting to hate this computer!
have wondered where you have been dan lurker
Hi kje! are you going somewhere (i missed the start of the convo)
One and the same, AND I lived in the city for ~ 10 years... hey if I can find that "~" key, then I can talk him down
I have been staring at them off and on for hours and it isn't fun anymore! Can anyone answer my pleas for clues?
i am being chained to my desk and computer for a couple weeks dan... it is a cruel cruel world
i'll help if i can ...
total BS kje.... ;)
been lurking...started a new contract at work...110 new stops for my couriers...haven't been able to chat much
but I'm staring equally helplessly for my last 5 too :)
new jersey... that will be your new nickname asg
NJ for short
****pays attention to Ata's clues, so as to get more words without list!****
kje, maybe you can run babble in the background and sneak on once in a while? (That's what I did)
but that is good, dan... business booming despite the horrors happening on wall street
NY, NJ - it's all the same. I'm in NY often enough....
not EVEN the same, NJ
pa4, ot4, op4.... and the rest are po's - is that what you're looking for, MG?
Shortly there will be a husband downstairs and stuff to watch and I will have to cut these 6 loose. So nobody has the op4/5? Or the ot4/5?
good for business, bad for my score...darn it
dan... if i do, i will not get my work done... kick me off if you see me
sure it is, if you lived in NYC then it counts!
Yes, Ata!
ot4 = ot + I see. op4 = op + letter after R.
pa4 = pa + opposite of northwest
aha - found asg's poke point - yea!
darn, I have these words....
and there's rather a lot of po's ...
only if you insist kje...and i'll try not to kick too hard, as I don't want to cause any damage
Thank you! Thank you! Now I just need 4 po's... will ask specifically in a sec...
pulease! dan, you would take all too much pleasure - ha!
puh-lease kje, I'm a true suburban woman now - didn't you hear about my domesticity on Monday? (dinner was awesome btw, and my challahs were yummy!)
OK, must run, teaching ethics in 14 minutes, must get my head suitably into it
lots of honey in challah, asg? that is how I like it
The first 4/6, 5/18, 6/24, and the 7. Pathetic of me I know... but sometimes it's gotta be.
lololol - kje is teaching ethics! where does bullying fall in that class?!? and yes, lots of honey!
sigh - will go to class dreaming of honey and challah
and asg, I am a damn good ethics teacher : )
6 and 7 - marijuana + apple *** + plural
first po4/6 I have is winnie the ****
haven't got a 5/18 yet
kje, seriously, good luck with everything! We'll talk before 10/15 I'm sure!
YAY and thank you! Now I just need that 5/18. Looking for it.Meanwhile I should be thoroughly beaten with a bucket of scrod.
I'll miss ya kje...sneak in if you can, er, so we can know you're ok before we kick you
the 5/18 is the opp of momsy
off
pffff! ty asg
lol dan!
I just got it myself ATA (oooo *I* get to strut!!!)
Thank you! Fireworks! Smelling heavily of fish and using all of you as crutches, but still fireworks! Thank you!!!!
yay MG!
yay ASG!
wtg monkey! 35 left here
I used to have a cat called that
yea MG!
Can i help?
Called what? My cat, not my fault, is called SCSI.
31 left here...moving a bit slow without the list.
po5/18
shellD - you are addicted!!
are there sa words?
Just clued for me-- opposite of momsy.
she was called po5/18 blossomflower
lol mg, Ata is saying she had a cat called that....
There are 2 sa's, both 6's.
Ata the po 5 is a word buitl off of a po4...It's a style of speech perhaps...a person reciting odes might have a Po**** voice? bad clue sorry.
blahblahblah... LOL
OHHHH!!!!!
Been a long day.
Oh geez and I tried to clue it....Feeling foolish goes back to lurking
got the SA 6s... thanks
I clued it too Red.
lol sorry my fault. I wasn't very clear *facepalm*
don't have the sa6s
We just Loooove to be helpful Ata...
No, no, I'm just a little slow today.
Nobody slept well last night; hail storm.
got one now
how's walter feeling these days, monkey? does he love school?
got 'em both now....
how did your cat get to be called SCSI?
hail? isn't it a little early in the season for that?
The cat came with th ename.
back to the lecture...
ooo! well at least its imaginative!
Walter is feeling well but quite tired. He likes school a lot but it is a lot to process at his age. We have snuck dinner and bed up half an hour and it seems to be helping. Had a big dinner drama last night but have solved that with a new schedule and routine; worked like a charm today.
I agree, yes it is. You should see Dutch vets try to pronounce it.
Hail is right on for fall here.
Dutch vets cant pronounce Hobbit either LOL
Monkey, that is a beautiful picture
glad walter is doing well. He is lucky you are so tuned in to his needs and willing to adjust meal and bedtimes for him
The dog is named Saskia. It would have been Walter's name but we knew he was a boy by the time we got the dog.
Thanks! Wish he had stood a BIT more in the center but you take what you can get at this age...
yes, yes you do! lol
ok, well, I think it's time for the list... 32 left
go As go!
Thanks, Stid. Yes, we are trying to raise a well-rounded and personally aware young man, which means being very tuned in to his needs, one of which is freedom of choice an dthought but another of which is set routines and strict borders, which is what worked with the dinner thing. He has a Will of Iron and high self confidence, so we have to be alert.
skipping ae5 unless someone wants to clue?
go As go. I am down to 28 and am determined not to use the list and to finish!
Pluralof ae4...
Oh, the other one!
go red - you are a better person than I (at babble anyway)...
yes, the other one!
Sounds a lot like a kind of tree but with e instead of ca...
takes after you, does he monkey???
Nah, I am just too lazy to switch between the two screens.
In this, actually, yes, and I insist he will have a vastly better upbringing than I ever did.
lol monkey, skipping ae5/12
(((monkey))) he will do fine.
our children have always been encouraged to stop eating when they are full -- no "clean your plate" in our household... LOL my parents and in-laws thought we were crazy, but the kids have thrived (except for a bad genetic mix-up in the one that caused him to NEVER be hungry so he didn't grow for a bit... -- long story)
I will try for a better clue. For the record I have to go in four minutes though. OK... ae + a United States covert government spy org...
ah. the hairloss clue!
got it! tx mg!! :)
thanks monkey!
Nah, no clean your plate. He just wouldn't stop throwing tantrums last night and saying he did not like things he DOES. So I wrote a chart last night with pics of clocks on it. So he ate his lunch with no questions asked, then had a snack at 3, just water and no juice boxes after that, and lo and behold, at dinner time he appeared at the table early and ate two bowls of rice and a bowl of corn. The new rule is he does not have to eat it but he can't complain about it or shove it away, and he has to be polite at the table for a few minutes befor he gets down. A lot of it was my fault with somewhat free snacking and browsing, you see, and no strict rules about it.
hello, does anyone have the EP 7/8 pair?
He responds very well to strict routines as long as he gets choices in there.
My sister has a bad time with her first boy, he loves sugar, but is never really hungry for anything.
brb hobbit wants her dinner
Yea, than I have to go... like the best something can be but with a p instead of the m, and plural.
ep7 your ep**aph is on your tombstone + opp of closed minus n
OK, I'm off! Have fuun all, and thanks again!
later monkey, be well ((hugs))
bye mg!

yw phan & stid
I couldn't believe Kenley's attitude last week.
I was surprised that kenly stayed last week...she has gotten very annoying.
on the good side, no more talking about oneself in the third person
list is helping after all....
or so jessmom says :)
this is true, and his last weeks had been sort of blah...
wow! I am past halfway!!!!
go stiddy go.
*digs in and gets ready to seach* need a few more before I list though, not got NBT yet
are there any T6s?
gooo stiddy!
there's a to6
to6/24
and it's a word I never heard before
okay, NBT now, will list later when I am done with class. thanks for the help and chat! *poof*
aha! ty!
oh. that doesnt' fill me with hope lol
to6 is a plural, if that helps
aha! monkeyed it
just monkeyed the two silly ho6/24 words
is the 2nd ho6 asking if someone didn't flush?
Not having the luck with the Ho or the to!!
I'm telling you, aside from those couple of silly words, I love this grid! :)
lol jess
to5 plaything + opp of off, to6 plural
TY Jess...
why can I never find my last 4 letter word!
ho6's add vowels to the hula ho4/6
is there a py?
yes ata
gah
got it! firebirds!
congrats Ata!
Well done!
wtg ATA!!
haz!!
yay ata ! *sneaks back into work* bye
Hello!
TO!
3 left
how is Spanglettina?
Don't go, TO!
must - but i leave my ion for your amusement
Spangletina is fine, but we're having problems accessing our external environment because of persistent precipitation.
It's too wet to walk!
oh dear. that's rather sad.
isn't it rather dark, too?
Ooooh, an icon to look at. Not MIkey, I hope?
Yes, it's dark and it's just been a horrible windy day.
mikey? WHERE???!!
False alarm.
lol. loved your email reply. very sensible! gruel is the best
phew
I just thought I'd see if I could panic you.
lol - hysterical TO ... I love the onion!
Gruel was the foundation of the British empire.
PHone...
speaking of gruel.... I'm producing the school play this winter: Oliver!
what *is* gruel? sloppy porridge?
darn, I need clues for all 3 of my last words....
Let me look up my gruel recipe book.
got one
I can't imagine Nigella doing a gruel segment, somehow.
LOL NIgella could make anything sexy
UNO... guess I just needed to whine
But she annoys me so much with all that simpering and pouting.
urf yes
Gruel is indeed a type of porridge. I'm not sure whether it would be worse very thin or very lumpy.
haz what does your icon say?
I looked at your profile but still couldn't make it out - love your rules though
It's an Edward Monkton card 'And there came a cat among them of such great glory that all who see it marvel and are sore amazed.'
can some tell me the starting letters of the 8s, please?
ah, that must be my mum's cat, she's lovely
ep8 (being a plural) and ca8
ep8 (it's a pl)
thanks, haz
and ca8
thanks, asgreen :)
ya beat me haz.... are you done w/the grid? I have ONE left....cannot monkey, but I will!
Chrissie, we've already had a contest among babblers who feel convinced that THEIR cat deserves the title. Does your mother's cat ride a uniccycle - to qualify in the talent section?
I am indeed done with the grid.
I bet she looks great in a thong though
very gristly, I think. lumps. lumps are bad
wooow AsG. I still have 22 left, but will admit that I just fell asleep for a bit.
(belated: wtg haz!)
no she doesn't, never mind though, we love her
Yes, but at least lumps would be nutritious, kind of.
yes, but I opened the list!
nigella in a thong? how did we get there ....
I think I should open the list....or go back to sleep, I am making coffee now. maybe I did a little much at the gym again.
is that a keyboard imprint on your head red?
Not to worry, Chrissie. It's hard to arrange a fair contest, some babblers were resorting to bribes.
no no no the cat!
It's bad enough that Nigella doesn't wear an apron. To appear cooking in a thong is too much.
when it's clear that Silverclaw wins anyway
LOL chrissie. This is my nap time, but I am trying not to nap so I sleep a little better and earlier tonight.
just tell me.... is the ap6/21 a silly word like ho6? or is it real?
thing, thing a thong.....
Thing it loud to last the whole night looooooong.
LOL! Lizsark's facebook profile thing says "Liz Elmont is now wondering if Oscar could have eaten them....."
ap6/21 - variation on a sleep disorder.
thing of happy not sad
rolls on the floor laughing at the babble ladies of song.
ap6/21 is an alternate spelling of a sleep disorder
Nigella's thong? How did Oscar get hold of Nigella's thong?
TY for that.
better than toyah's!
They'd be bigger, anyway.
can I get a clue for ae5/12 please
clue for the ep8 plz
ae plus super secret us spy acengy
ae + not the FBI but the ***
Stole clue from someone else though, I admit.
fireworks! that's a silly spelling ;); anyway, fireworks!
ty red
Yaaay AsG! and here I am with 21.
and jess
ep8 is a plural
gooooo red go!
so, are the Lickety's ok, btw? any news?
need more than that jessmom
I need a snack - brb to clue a bit
Movei its the tops, but with a P instead of an M...does that help?
They're fine, As. Heading off on holiday so there may not be a list every day. Gird your loins, people...
AsG I am making Kona Coffee, do you want some??
ep7 your ep**aph is on your tombstone + opp of closed minus n
yay listlessness!
Yes, then I feel as if everyone is on an even field with me, who is usually listless.
just wait for the 500+ grid!
ty jessmom
yw
That would have to have a lot of esses.
The world will run out of ??????????? if that happens, Ata.
true. and cryings. and !!!!!!!!!!!!!!111s
Anyway, have to let Spangle out. I'm getting the look. See you tomorrow!
byeee!
Have a nice walk Haz.
coffee in the am would be great rth - it's a bit too late for me
but I'm having a yummy avocado right now.... mmmmm
Bye!
I don't think I could do a full grid listless.... but am impressed by those of you who do!
bye Haz!
I *love* having a completely listless grid
i need help wit them
I'm just masochistic
hi all, briefly! I can't manage without the list -- only got 94 last night when there was no list
I really appreciate lickety too
but also enjoy the way babblers rally when he's not around
and only because there were great clues
hi jilli
I guess I just was used to babble before the lists. It really is more of a camaderie-ish joint effort without the list and I love that
must go and have lunch, then do my library shift. Hope it's not busy there so I can babble a bit :)
good evening all. Here's the new icon theme for tomorrow :)
listless babbling is fun, and really teamwork :)
absolutely, sprite :D
night jilli, have a good day
well, that was stupid. Good bye, jilli, and have a good day, I meant. I really need to go to bed, lol.
great pic of sily, Ata! I got the letter to my father finished and posted today, so tomorrow I am going to work, even if it is only one hour or so!
hi sprite! I find listless babbling is just frustrating
Ok so I am offerring coffee to anyone else. ASG is saying its too late...
Hi jilli.
Is this another letter to your father, sprite? I thought you had already sent one.
one sugar please red
its an old "kitten" pic. It was needed for the cat bragging session earlier
Ata and I are from before any lists, so we're used to it.
Ok, I have regular milk and soy and almond...no cream unfortunately.
I'd love a Reese's peanut butter cup though...
but there may be cream in the PB is you will drop one of the E words I am lacking, or the last Z
Must go!
jilli: yes, my father has written back to me and actually acknowledged all that has happened, and he took responsibility for it. He hopes we can get reacquainted as the people we are now.
bye Jilli!
ok, bye!
Oh, sprite, I think that would be good -- do you?
yes, I do. But slowly. First only letters, I have written to him today. And if all goes well, we will take another step. Etc.
Jilli, congrats on the 2nd in wordscraper! lol
last z is a plural
Good for you -- now bye for a while...*waves*
I need to take another test for my new job, but I am procrastinating well.
I have to run - almost time for pickup, and I need to decide if I'm sneaking chocolate before the kiddos come home, or getting something for us all to share!
lol, AG!!!
sneaking. have it all to yourself!
sneaking it makes it taste better.
or, perhaps a pretaste (that way I have more, and then they love me for sharing)....hmmmm, such a decision. really must dash! see y'all tomorrow! :)
absolutely!
bye AsG
what is sneaking it?
help a senior, pls, need the ep7
taking secretly?
yep :)
yes sprite you got it!
ep + vowel + not the bottom + vowel, Mubner. And I love your Jack.
thanks :) Great word!
thanks, sprite, Jack is a fav
I love him in every role, Mubner. He is like good wine, gets better ever year, lol
clue for the py please?
py + very cold water, drop last letter
py + I see!
"do you see what I see?"
Thanks!!!!
sorrym that was a very lazy clue
now 18 more toughies.
Weel, I have to admit, i saw Atas first, but it was sprites tht caused me to figure it out.
ok, I really need to go to bed and sleep. Stupid virus will be killed by vitamins, rest and sheer stubbornness if it is the last thing I do :) *hugs* all.
good :)
push fluids sprite.
nite, sprite
lol... and it made me start a Xmas song. Terrible.
sweet dreams sprite
thanks all *hugs* and *poof*
drink water
red that sounds really unpleasant
What is upleasant?
pushing fluids
I was trying to ignore sprite's Christmas song, lol
Oh sorry, its a regular term at work...
only teasing
how does one do a lower bowel biopsy? does the thing go in from the top or the bottom?
:)
Ata, I would assume they would go from the bottom. But we dont do that where I work so i dont totally know.
The bottom, ata.
urf, I thought you'd say that
Simialr to a colonoscopy.
sister has to have it tomorrow. probably
poor Ata's sister, the chat is stunned to silent sypathy
*sympathy
yes, sorry, how to stop a chat log!
off to watch part 2 of Holby, bbl
Ata I am sorry.
its good really, finally someone is taking an interest and doing some more tests
Maybe they can find something tio cure?
that's what we're hoping!
be positive
oh its a long story, Missy. being positive now is seeing she's alive each morning
I'm back..:>)
hi chickie!
hi ya Ata :)
why did you change your name, chickie?
I got tired of Hodag and not many people new what a Hodag was...:-)
fair enough :) I like chickie!
TY I do too and since I rise chickens and sell eggs it is fitting :-)
absolutely! my mother is just about to get some chickens. she can't wait!
We had chickens growing up but sadly my sister and I stressed them and they never laid eggs, but they were fun.
i stood on a chick once
and i cried cause it died in my hand
they are going to be called (*facepalm*) Nesta, Henrietta, Amidala, and Leia (layer ha ha)
Can I have a clue for the last Z. I have the greek letter the other 4,9 and then the one that sounds like a PBS kids show from the 70's replacing the M awith an N....
the last z is a plural
z + three vowels, then add another vowel for the latin plural
hello again all. lectures over, need to hang out for a little bit and then will go home.... maybe.
thanks for the last Z
phantom = apocalypse

I don't know JBV? Is hubby alright?
he's scheduled for what they're calling a minor surgical procedure next Tuesday but because of his quite complicated history, nothing is quite routine so I'm just fretting in advance -
Ok, I hope he will be alright JBV...
I must start on dinner and remove the pack of frozen spinach from my hip.

Sounds good.
Morning
I decided on burger, onion, my love mayonaise. and I managed to remember the milk already.
Hi herin.
A bit of a midweek treat for hubby
He loves his meat and po*
How are you? Red last night when i asked about your mortgage i meant it as a concern not meant to be nosey. My stupid net wouldn't let me finish my sentence
ok, here's a question for all the ladies of the house - just a survey- how many nights out of 7 do you really cook dinner - I mean cook, not microwave, etc.
Id rather have a goood juicy burg with on and mayo too Red thats my cup of tea
its Ok herin, I was not offended. I am still not offended!
Lets see...
I cook almost every night JBV, but...I eat very simply so it isnt sauces and such.
[i'm only asking to allay my guilt.... i am cooking less and less these days]
there is always a pizza night, and at least one meal out on weekends, hubby bowls on thursday, so hes on his own LOL
Maybe 4 I guess
My mom cooks every night, but she uses the microwave for a lot of it, rice, etc...
I make enough to have leftovers during the week and that's fine for me, but my husband doesn't consider that a real meal
Mama i think i want to come over for your cooking.
Hi JBV.
oooh, I think you have inspired me to make lasagne. tomorro.
hi, herin
Its one of my hobbies
spinach. yum...
spinach. yum...
I like to invite a bunch of peeps over and cook something brand new
last po 6/24?
Not enough stress in my life I guess LOLO
Oh Mama when can we come?
Any time its always open house at Mamawa's
")
Oops meant :)

nutty!
yeah - feeling dizzy and fuzzy
a dizzy lexy pooh?
walkinig into walls
I know what else is new huh - nut?
last time i did that i was sleep deprived by about 200 hours
i'm just tired and over worked lexy
it should wear off soon the alprazolam does not last that long the decongestant a bit longer. do not drive or operate heavy equipment LOL
now just operating this laptop, the remote and my pillow
how long ago did you take them?
Had a bad day today and knew tha I would need to chill or I would not sleep...took them about 45 minutes ago
on the upside I can breathe now
give it another hour you will feel better

lol, ok
haha i'm at 80, kinda distracted watching Forest Gump : )
i have 30 left and may give up
aww you come on don't give up!
i don't use the list, so i'm used to giving up!
dont quit bernice
haha but you only have 30 left! thats so close!
what do you have against the list B?
i don't use the list
i just don't think it's fun
thanks bernice. i was taking a break.
if i use the list (and i used to) it feels like i'm just filling in the blanks, no fun
i have 37 left and must get dinner for the kiddies. may bbl!
haha i wish i could not use the list
I only go there when I've hit the wall
when i hit a wall i ask for a clue or i give up. i don't mind not finishing
I just dont see how its different than getting clued
in fact getting clued it easier than figuring by points
haha i give up a lot too, but it makes me mad sometimes
right pug, but i don't get clues for every word, only a few
I agree
i don't think there's anything wrong with using it, but i just don't
in fact I always bitch a bout the few players that want to be clued (spoon -fed) half the list!
what's wrong with ho**ie? Ho**ie and the blowfish? nd we could even have ho**ies! (yes, i know it's a proper noun. had one of those days again, folks)
anyhow not important was just curious why you dont

Hi TO.
I hope I can stay awake for PR this week.
PR?
Project runway! my fav show.
I watch it religiously, but last week I fell asleep.
doren, wondering if you might be around this weekend...ias of pnow plan to come up to see my niece's hockey game. but my dad is busy both firday and sat night.
oh...not my cup"o"...
i'm around but not around.... friday nite my friend in connecticut..saturday night going to a friends... the bf is in FL visiting family. i'm having his daughter and her sons for dinner sunday.
can i have a clue for the ca8 please?
red, i love PR. you need DVR so you can fall asleep and not miss it!
that's nice - that you are having them for dinner.
hi, all. my daughter had a doctor's appointment today, and she had to go to the hsopital afterward because the baby was breech. He turned himself around before they did it manually. She is due October 17th.
ewaugh, the guillotine will de******* you.
ca8--to cut of ones head is to deca*****
(well, not you, but the french aristocracy)
DVR would be nice, but nothing new is in my budget currently. just saving somewhere that wont fail!
ty!! i just could not see it!
bernice types faster
clue for the second sp 4/6 please
Exciting times Angel!
i hear ya, red
i actually enjoy them. sometimes more than him. the kids are funny and she misses her mom so much and we have a great relationship... i'm happy to be there for her.. oldest son is asperger's kid, but so loveable 94% of the tine
boo, a racist term for a latino person
sp4--sp** & span
oh oangel. best wishes for a happy birth
oops - oven is paging me. i actually COOKED. beware of thunder and lightening inthe mid atlantic area!lol
bet it's good owl
TO i imagine it is delicious.
zuchini parmesan pie
making me jealous now
lots of chopping, not much other work
Bernice who do you think will win Project Runway?
pie crust?
i don't think kenley. she has such a bad attitude!
I am inspired to cook an actual meal and not a hunk of meat....
I hope not knely, i thought she would be eliminated last week.
no crust. crust = bad. (and good)
oh my. was about to ask for a clcue for po6/21... so glad i thought twice about it
i'm hoping the woman whose first name starts with K, i don't know how to spell it
then i want the recipe.... in exchange i'll give y ou spinach quiche... no crust.. and soooo easy and everyone always loves it at pot lucks
red, is suade out yet? i hate him.
I think its Korti, form Liberia. I like her, but I am really rooting for leanne.
ty doren. btw i must email you re prospect from eharmony. not local, but travels for his business. he emailed me from california yesterday.
Suede was eliminated last week, over Kenly...though I rather wished kenly and her rudness would go!!
i like leanne too. i would be ok with jerrell too
Jerrell is pretty cool.
exciting owl. certainly interesting enough to email back and meet for a nice dinner?
suede was totally annoying, speaking about himself in the third person. who did he think he was??
Did you see Kenly's Hip Hope outfit??
yes! what a joke! i was embarrassed for her
He thought he was suede, I men, I know his Momma probably named him something like George.
TO is going on a date?!!! How thrilling.
lol, exactly
hello everyone

Bernice, you must see the last episode, where the designers design for each other, if you have not seen it...

Hi Pam, are yo ustill here?
thanks red, I am doing a small amount of pilates so hopefully it won't be too long!
i think i need belly suction..not just lipo...
Sorry, wandered, red
Pilates is killer. I can not really do most of it.
How are you Pam?
actually I could have a tummy tuck for free, as I live in Ontario, but one surgery is enough for me!
ok, thanks, red. I wish I were great, LOL. How are you?
brb
lind, mine will be 33 tomorrow...i think the "baby fat" excuse has run its course for me lol
oh red I am only doing a few tummy exercises my friend who is a pilates teacher has given me
I am also OK Pam. still worried baout money, my new job and running...ah well
LOL dawg!
I hope your bank situation resolves in a good way!
Does the job start this week, red?
It seems to be ok, everything is being paid and my atm card works...
*sending red good karma*
It starts october 20...
Whats new in the North?
Winter is coming, winter is coming!!
glad the bank is working....
hey scrabs
Are you cold Scrabbler??
Nothing really new... Pearl has BAD gas, my job is stable which is comforting--though that could change, of course, and I am wiaitng for snow...
Hi, scrabs!
I am sitting here with doors and windows open in shorts, enjoy the crickety noises...
If it were colder we would have gotten snow today. We got rain coming off Lake Erie.
Snow? Pam, thats nuts, its just october!
reminds self of why she has no license to work in NY.
we had winter here today too scrabs )0:
I LOVE late autumn and winter, red--so I like to think it's coming...
It is always hard to say good-bye to summer and kayaking season, but I am looking forward to cross-country skiing.
I enjoyed fall in New Hampshire last year.
but this year I am still working on a tan.
LOLOL, red
We always get snow in October but it doesn't stick and stay until November--and always before I can get all of my fallen leaves raked up.
I have news! some sad and some exciting........
Please tell us, Lindy.
oooh lindrick, do tell.
my dad has shingles and has been hit quite bad with it, so I am going to the UK next month.... that is the sad news!!
Testilng my new/old icon
exciting news is I get to see the Stranglers 2 possibly 3 times while I am there!! woohoo
The nerve pain can be severe with shingles.
Oh no, that can be so painful. kje will have some advice on that topic.
the nerves affected are one in his head and the other is his optic nerve so he is in a lot of pain
Hubby and I got shingles vaccine for free, since we were part of the threeyear study group
inge did you get my email?
Guten Abend, Inge. Yes, the Zoster vaccine is now available.
oooh the optic nerve is not good, that is a bit severe.
Oh, is he on IV antibiotics, lind?
today, just now?
yeah he is having a lot of pain
y sister had it in the optic nerve when she was in her mid 20s and was hospitalized for 10 days
yes inge BDG's website so you can contact her
wow pam, he is still at home but he has been ill now for 3 or 4 weeks
I must go take some more motrin. pardon me.
not IV pam
It is very dangerous when it is in the optic nerve because of possible vision loss....
yes, I just found it. I was busy changing my icon. Thanks for the email. A number of ushers at the DSO are interested in selling and buying used books. And hs eh is ina Detroit subjurb.
oh good inge
I am glad you are going to get to see the Stranglers, lind
he has seen his dr, not sure what pills he has been given
How long will you be across the pond?
thanks pam, I am so excited, will be there for 2 weeks this time
I would assume some antivirals, possibly steroids.
last nov I went for a long weekend to see the stranglers!!
he is spending a lot of time sleeping
its nice that you are able to go there Lindrick.
yes red and i will be a lot happier once i have seen him, he has never been ill, his whole life
well, it is a bad disease, very uncomfortable. I think you beeing there can distract him a bit as it runs its course.
yeah he is really looking forward to us going there
it will be a nice change of venue for you and for your dad.
it is odd cos there is an epidemic of chicken pox here right now!
yeah and i get to see my sisters and all my friends too and did i mention i will see the STRANGLERS too lol
lol, i take it the stranglers are a fave for you, lind
oh does it show?
not at all, just a wild guess. lol
LOL
will i be yelled at if i ask what the stranglers are? a band?
Does anyone else not like this grid or is everyone done already?
25 left
I still have 27 to go scrabs, didn't think it was too bad so far
Hi all...

Hi rurucapt
Uh, oh, I just did that. Sorry.
i leave ruru here to clue you to firewords, Scrabs and all others.
Corner E word please? And top O?
it was a pretty good grid.
and now we can have partay in pb...
corner e is the plural of the ep7
I wanted something easy where I could find words and type like a maniac and boost my Babble Self-Esteem score.
the top O is when something gelatinous moves, like out of a tube or something...
the o's are oo4/5 a mistake exclamation
the top O I think is the green slimey stuf that o***s
Ah, of course, Miss Q. Ty.
Duh, and that shows how tired I am.
and slimely oo4-y stuff
ep7 please?
thnk of the very tops and then change the m to a different consonant.
ep 7/36 is ep plus vowel plus to to4/5 word Scrabbler
ep7/36 is ep + a vowel plus the to4/5 word Scrabbler
ep + vowell + children's toy + vowell
TY, I got ep7 and ep8!
Hi Minveryork. How are you tonight. Welcome to the grid.
How about the other 8?
ep! ep! er.. I mean yippee yippee
the other 8 is a CA
i guess it means to put a head ON someone
marie antoinettes most unfavorite word
ca 8/50:to de******** a head as punishment in England
Hello Scrabbler!How are you? Thanks for the welcome

hi red!
monkey... did you get the ho6 that ends in your FAVORITE topic?
hofart?
hotpoo ?

the O's are placeholders.
the O's are placeholders.
LOL i just found it, what a WACK word
oooo close monkey
it's a bird
ya monkey... BTW, change the last vowel for another ho6
that's crazy
*is blind to the ho 6's
THAT's a word but hotpoo and hoopie are NOT ?
Anyone seen the movie about the windshiled wipers? A flash of Genius?
oh i want to see that, red

foster failure = permanent tenant?

Congratulations Lindrickway on fireworks!Way to go
thanks min & hi, how are you?
Y*A*Y, lind!
I'm doing well.I finished not long ago too.Here to clue
ty pam
zo5/20?
congrats, lindrick
That zo 5/20 word is zo4/9 plus another vowel peg23
well, i hope she works out pam. how long have you had her as a foster?
ty jes
add a consonant to where animals reside caged...and people can visit
Another zo5/20 word is plural of a zo4/9 word peg23
I have had her since early July, jes. She has advanced heartworm, bad skin from allergies and malnourishment, and a poorly done entropion that might need to be repeated
sounds like my kind of dog ;)
aaww poor thing pam!
LOL, jes.
thanks, lind
guess I am missing a zo4 and 5, lol
LIND!!!!!!!!!!!
AUTUMN!!!!!!!!!!!
well, is true. got homes for the brain-damaged kitten and the one-eyed pom, now i'm just working on the broken-legged border collie
Hi everyone. How's it going? I just started... and CSI NY is about to start. Wonder if I'll finish
go autumn go! lol
at least you can manage their illnesses/situations
Sometimes, I feel like I am in a pool of mud
(straight to list day)
america's got talent winner came down to less than 1/2 of 1%
Heh. sometimes. Though it gets overwhelming sometimes. I'm VERY happy that I got Cisco placed, that takes a lot of stress off.
i almost agree with final 5; would have switched #2 & #3; don't want to spoil for west coast
and I am happy for you. You are a vet and a role model, 8-)
hah. never pictured myself as a role model. mom always said i'm a bad influence on myself.
Just wondering why icon themes were not kept from Babbler.I know Sprite is doing them now,but why not start from the date Babbler left on. I'm just curious.
well gotta go to bed, work in the morning, cya tomorrow, bye xxx
ni-night lind
Goodbye Lindrickway! I'll see you tomorrow in the log
Well, I guess things have changed, jes, LOL
nite lind
ciao, lind

ap6/24 -a + herbs & s*****
As you are saying goodbye to Lindrickway, you can head on over to the penalty box pam. LOL!
ap6/21:another way to spell a sleep disorder dan2bit
ap6/21-ap + opp of yes + only 1 **ch
thanks!
That ap 6/24 word is a plus fish zodiac sign dan2bit.
LOl--i refuse to stop using a word I use regularly just because it is in the grid, LOL
ap 6 21 is spelling variation of sleep "no" breathing disorder
thanks for the ap6's
I have a 14 hour tomorrow so I probably won't babble
yw
Good luck with that, min!
I shouldn't complain because I had the last 2 days off.
Phantom words for me today were species & tapioca
I have the zo 4/9 that is a place with caged animals plus a consonant. Can someone clue the others? My monkeys are exhausted
whee! sorry, not ignoring you, answering a political phone survey.

Hello jillibus! How are you doing? Welcome to the grid
I have tired, jilli, will keep doing so, thanks!
tx minver & nDan!
Just wondering why icon themes were not kept from Babbler.I know Sprite is doing them now,but why not start from the date Babbler left on. I'm just curious.
pam, try ze + brit thank you
no idea, min--don't change my icon much, sorry
Jillibus, I reposted my previous message. Maybe you have an answer.Got no response when I did it before
i have that one, jilli, it's the zo, thanks
hehehe. i absolutely love how frelling biased those phone polls are. it's hilarious.
got the zo, thanks!
ho6 the second one?
The ho 6/24 word is ho 4/6 plus double vowel dan2bit
dan, change the last letter of the one before it to a different vowel
pam, I thought you were asking for ALL the Z words
h = double vowel + what lil monkey likes to fling
our soccer parents decided yesterday the solution to congress is to vote out any incumbents running, then some of remainder may actually do their homework & show up for work
wow what a dumb word?
no problem, jilli, thanks!
good clue pug
couldnt resist
lol
wish I'd had the chance to clue it to her!
those ho 6 s are crested birds; wonder what call sounds like
i had that joy pug...
aha!
i'm missing a 7. I have EP 7 and PO 7. what's the last one?
aha
at 7 32
just been popping in & out all night
at7
what's the po7?
dan, it's a comfort food. a compound word, pluralized
po7-- meals in a crust
ho6 is what a basketballer aims for + *v*r the rainbow, and it's an african bird trailing along the bottom of the grid, but you all know that
dan - chicken entree with crusts
dinner option; turkey, chicken, etc,
at 7/32 is at plus Kinkos is a place for c***** nDanlia.
thanks min
thanks all cluers! fireworks!
yayayayay, dan!
po 7/36 is plural of the po 6/24 word; chicken po****.
woohoo dan2!!!
yw BerinceQ
yahooo Dan2!!!!!
wasn't looking, just answering

min, if you don't like the suggested icon themes, why not suggest some yourself to sprite?
should have said hi first...hi!
hi, ping
that's it ping!
Congratulations dan2bit on fireworks!Hooray for you
hi pinger
Hello Ping! How are you doing? Welcome to the puzzle
It's not that I don't like the themes. Just wondering.
hi ping
i heart meals in a crust
hi everyone!
ty min!
Looking at this grid I have to ask, does anyone want to buy a vowel? LOL!
i didn't know sprite did the themes now
lol, min!
ca8/50?
yes, ping -- do you have her in your "My Friends"?
peg, the guillotine will de****** you
i think so, jill
Sprite doesn't choose the themes -- it's up to us to suggest them
i still thought babbler did it!
i guess that's why i haven't known the theme for a long while
thank you!
sure
Babbler wanted out and dear Sprite relieved her of the chore
so what's the theme today?
Ping, click on MY icon to find out! And the next one is in Sprite's profile :)
now that's a great theme
Yeah, babe!
so, min, was your first crush on a car?
Min does her own thing and ignores the themes
mine was
lol, ruru!
I hope it was a cool car, ruru 8-)
a 1965 Mustang convertable
trust ruru -- which car?
hi pam
NICE< ruru
mine was jodie foster
which ru?
I used to follow the themes more often. Now I like to honor b-days of the stars. What's tomorrow's theme.
straight 6...
oooo mustang sally
Bah, I had a Sunbeam Alpine
I liked Catherine DeNeuve
Jodie is cute, too...
hmmm. think ruru and I have something in common...
that proves that you have better taste than i did - i wouldn't have dared!
Probably won't be on tomorrow cuz I have a long day
I like the vettes of the 60s
tomorrow's theme is "what era would you like to live in"
hi moon
they were great too pam...the 1961 is gorgeous
well, min, good luck in trying to ignore us
That would be 80s for me.I'm totally stuck in the 80s!
ho 6/24's
LOLOL, ping. I was so enamored of DeNeuve. And when The Hunger came out, with her and Susan Sarandon, And David Bowie whom I love... well....
they had vette convention here this summer..
62 1/2 vette would look good in my garage
Isn't it, though, Ru? I hate the vettes of the late 90s
given the events of this planet, I think us babyboomers had (have) it at the bestest time
That must have been great, ru!!!!
2nd ho 6/24 word is ho 4/6 plus 2 more vowels peg23
oooh yeah baby
did you grow up in nyc? we didn't have foreign films in the boonies - just tv
Min -- put Sprite in your My Friends and you will know the themes
1st ho 6/24 word is ho 4/6 plus 2 more vowels peg23.
I haven't drooled so much since I was a toddler
ho6/24 is ho 4/6 plus double vowel is 2nd ho 6/24 peg
LOL, the hunger was american-made. I grew up in Brooklyn, and Sarandon was in Rocky Horror
ty min for ho6
DeNeuve was in ads...
my new fave is the Audi r-8 racing model...
LOLOL, ru
where i lived we didn't even have a movie theater if you can believe that
what part of bklyn pam
in our early teens and 20's....there was extreme change in social mores and everything was cheap including education and travel....
Saradon is one of Americas greatest treasures
thank you!
we all got our university educations and went on to make a comfortable life
Ocean Parkway near Prospect Park, Windsor Terrace dan
Speaking of long day,I must go to bed.Happy Babbling
time I did something about supper after a long and tiring day
never really understood the point of the whole theme thing,except possibly as a source of conversation>However this group so seldom seems at a loss....
On the human front.. I alway thought Michele Pfieffer was a gorgeous thing...
Goodnight to my fellow babblers!Enjoy grid tomorrow

woohoo just!!!!
I think we all do, just. does anyone know why he's not doing them?
we will be listless for several days; they are heading for vac tomorrow
i don't have the ap6 words yet
are they? how long?
but there are 2 of them
mrp asked, been too busy to upload
a good week, 12 hr drive each way
one ap6 is Latin plural of the very top
no list again for a week?
well, I guess I'll take a vacation from grids, then :P
that's what he said, unless ducks fall in a row
need one more for A in 2nd column from left
ugh! madness to ensue in the chog....
mostly I can't help with words based on which of several of the same letter they start with; sorry
A's then
you need to give more info on what you have
I already clued the other ap6, back at 10:11
the absolute pits is when there's no list so chog is FLYING then newbies come in & want every detail explained to them....
have ac4, ae4, ae5, ap4, ap 6 x 2, ap4, as5, at5, at4, at6, at5
thats time for the view entire log popout
yeah, pug. it never seems to fail. and some newbies are either completely clueless (no pun intended), or act that way
2nd a is ae 5 12; sounds like continent
indeed
ty tyger
yw, ping
ty ndan
one more A from 2nd column
2nd last is at 7 32 - pl noun of 6 description
got it ty
my rankings will definitely go down while the Licketys are gone. I'm very glad Im not focused on keeping the Hot rank up anymore!
couldn't believe the newbie that tried to clue the other day like---"co5 + er "& chog was going so fast nobody even corrected it!
ty dan for at 7 clue
for a while, I would get really upset if there was a day when I couldn't finish the grid, but now it's just not that important to me anymore
you got off easy, pug :D
need 2 more C's - have ca4, ca6, ca4, ca6, ce4, ci4
how do ya mean tyger?
I come in lotsa days now when Im not even doing the grid, just to chat for a few minutes
about what, pug?
ca8 - a guillotine will de ca8
ty ndan
got off easy?
with that clue you mentioned :)
2x ci4 ; 1 = italian bye; 2 = give source
it wasnt for me
just an example of clueless
some people would have fussed. I think it's silly. You'd think they never goofed
got 'em both ty
seems one would try to absorb the etiquette before trying to clue
and you were just trying to help
need 2 for H - have ha4 x 2, he4, ho4 x2
oh, you mean somebody else gave that clue? I misunderstood
yes a newbie
ok, I think I've got it straight now :)
CHRIST! I certainly know better than that!
2 x ho 6 24; crested birds running along bottom [wonder if its their call]
I certainly thought so, but I know I can sometimes get in a mess trying to clue
[then flying back up]
I don't get it
of course I've seen worse . 2 different times when a newbir just purposely spelled words right out when somebody asked for a clue!
I thought it was a great clue, dan, but maybe it's not obvious to everybody
well, my eyeballs are starting to float. need to visit the library
sorry not obvious to me (tired perhaps??)
2 syllables, sound similar, like bird call, starts running along bottom of grid
need h2o BRB
a very plausible reason, wild :)

so sorry to hear that, jacula
It was just so horrible, a headche last Tuesday ending on Sunday with a major brain haemorrage and brain death, organ donations that helped 3 peoplle and then he was gone.
It's too quick for any of us to take in properly.
wow, so very sorry, jac
sorry to hear jacqueline, best to you.
my brother in law went rather suddenly in Jan from brain stem hemorrage too.Was very shocking.
g'night, yall. i'm up much too late {poof}
When we hd a last hug as we exited the boat from his sister's wedding last November an said, 'We must meet again soon', I don't think either one of us envisaged it would be with him in a coffin.
the only tiny comfort is in knowing they didn't suffer months or years of degenerative agony like some unfortunately do....
night DC
Jacula, very sorry to hear of your friend's tragic death. My heart goes out to you.
Thanks I was gong to clue etc but I think I'm still too upset. So thanks all, as always, and 'bye for now.

oh jac -- so sorry -- hope you haven't left yet
I had some bad news today -- favourite niece-in-law in hospital with metastic breast cancer in her spine and hip -- she even babbled a bit as tarquin, named after their beloved late Newfie dog. We who love her have been asked NOT to send emails or phone calls or anything <weep>
