so true, Kiwi :D

1:47 am

THink he was hairier in Indiana kiwi

1:47 am

yes very true kiwi

1:47 am

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.

1:47 am

roflol hursh, great line!

2:56 am

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?

2:56 am

she started eating a bit yesterday and today she ate like there's no tomorrow

2:56 am

well there you go did you give her a shot of cod liver oil?

2:56 am

that is such good news!

2:57 am

no didn't do anything different but I did wash her down with a warm face cloth she seemed to like that

2:57 am

am really glad for both of you :)

2:58 am

thanks we're happy too I wonder if your virus came across the ocean

2:58 am

2:58 am

according to MonkeyG it came from California

2:59 am

2:59 am

very very slowly, west. Still feverish and very tired, but not as desperate anymore.

2:59 am

Belated g'd morning west

2:59 am

awwwwww so sweet, west!

2:59 am

hi lori

3:00 am

does this virus have a name or is it one of those no-names that hangs on for weeks?

3:01 am

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.

3:01 am

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

3:01 am

smart little thing!

3:02 am

no i just havent had a decent nights sleep in the 17 years i have had them lol

3:02 am

sprite I hope you are seeing the last of it and no one else in your family gets it

3:02 am

lore cats really do know what they like, don't they?

3:02 am

I have an ep 7/8 combo, anyone know the first 2 letters ONLY of the other 8 please?

3:02 am

keeping my fingers crossed, west! Hubby and son seem fine so far.

3:03 am

maybe it's a girlie virus? lol

3:03 am

nope, Walter had it too

3:03 am

its CA8/50 LoriP

3:03 am

that's right brought it back on the plane

3:03 am

Merci muchly lore!!!

3:04 am

west they sure do once my two are gone no more cats for me

3:05 am

found it, thanks lobo

3:05 am

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

3:05 am

a 6/24 goes with it

3:06 am

she had to put up a gate to keep the dogs hair off their bed

3:06 am

lol

3:06 am

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

3:07 am

absolutely we haven't had a dog since our Chelsea passed away she was such a good friend

3:07 am

sprite some of the things you will be invited to share with your new puppy '

3:07 am

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

3:08 am

no that's something you probably shouldn't start if you can help it

3:08 am

belated happy b'day, mrP

3:08 am

dogs they give you so much unconditional love you cant help but spoil them you will see Sprite

thank you sprite

3:09 am

hi lickety and mrp and tyvm!! we sure did miss you

3:09 am

there mrp will agree

dogs are the best!!

3:09 am

I intend to be a loving but firm dog mum, lobo. I want a dog I can live with, and anyone else too :)

3:09 am

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

3:10 am

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

3:11 am

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

3:11 am

oh how nice and you hardly look 20!!

3:11 am

lol PAV! I am going to spend the first nights in the livingroom with the doggie. With my hand in the crate if necessary.

3:11 am

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!

3:11 am

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!

3:12 am

see it must be true if we both think so?

3:12 am

have a great holiday superman and take care and have lots of fun we will survive and you are not to worry

3:13 am

that was supposed to have an exclamation point and not a question mark lol

3:13 am

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

3:14 am

lickety can do anything !!! thats why hes superman

3:14 am

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...

3:14 am

I hope we'll see some pictures

3:14 am

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'

3:15 am

goodnight Pav happy dreams

3:15 am

ciao sleep well PAV see you next time take care

3:15 am

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

3:15 am

what a great idea!

nite pav

3:16 am

thanks lobo, that is what I hope to impress upon the li'l one.

3:16 am

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

3:18 am

sounds lovely

3:18 am

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

3:19 am

I'm envious!!

3:20 am

not that you deserve it or anything lol

3:21 am

fireworks for me

3:21 am

woopee well done Sprite

3:21 am

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

3:21 am

Yay sprite!!

good going sprite!

3:21 am

what an ideal vacation!

and more importantly, restaurant and cocktail bar!

yes, vacation much much much needed!

3:22 am

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!

3:24 am

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

3:24 am

is it the kind you can swim up to?

am asking lickety about that now sprite...

3:24 am

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

3:25 am

I have heard Kiwi say that she had not seen them either, so I guess something must have gone wrong.

3:25 am

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!

3:26 am

ok, I have to be off. Have a grand vacation, mrP. Bye all!

3:26 am

don't do that lol

thanks sprite... bye!

3:26 am

bye sprite take care and get better!!

3:26 am

bye sprite hugs get better ok make sure you get some rest and have your breakfast

3:27 am

I keep seeing tapioca and I hate tapioca!!

3:28 am

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

3:29 am

Exactly!

3:30 am

He has been so generous with his time and ability and I think too many of us are taking it for granted.

3:30 am

hello Haz and Spangle

3:30 am

Hello all by the way!

3:30 am

hello haz

3:30 am

yes Haz I totally agree

3:31 am

3:36 am

I'm no help either.

3:36 am

3:36 am

3:36 am

3:36 am

3:56 am

I'm pretty well, thanks, chickie.

3:56 am

sorry I missed you Andree GM :)

3:57 am

YW,I like to know that every one is well!!! lol

3:58 am

hmm, didn't know you could extend the childs object that way for a 5/6. Yea for desperation! 14 left

3:58 am

how like a man

3:58 am

23 left here and no idea for the rest

this is tough indeed

3:59 am

At least he made an effort! (This is Haz's Stand Up for Lickety Day)

4:00 am

yay for lickety

4:00 am

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

4:02 am

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

4:03 am

I don't know whether to answer that Yes or No - either one sounds bad!

4:03 am

I have po 7 and ep 7. Anyone know the first 2 letter s ONLY of the other 7 please? ***on bended knee***

Morewords - the babbler's friend.

4:09 am

Doh! missing c was Spanish good bye. Ack, it gets me every time.

4:10 am

Call be pernickety sounds like I have a code in my dose.

i was sure poopsie was a word

4:12 am

Oops, my bad. Hey, I don't need to be specific.... :p

4:12 am

Accuracy is highly overrated.

4:12 am

Not being pernickety or anything but PB for the oo4....

4:12 am

It may be, but it doesn't connect in here, does it mrP?

4:13 am

Just call it 'a foreign farewell' and that would cover it.

4:13 am

***stomps off to PB***

arg, it doesn't... i am seeing words that are not here at all!

4:13 am

lol, when in doubt, be vague!

4:13 am

5:48 am

5:51 am

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!

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

I think in this case it goes with "and span". Hi all!

6:11 am

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.

6:14 am

afternoon everyone

Hi Katie!

6:14 am

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.

6:18 am

Happy Bday to Hubby of Katie!

6:19 am

(or shake my fist at it)

Annual theater word?

6:19 am

I thinkshe has forsaken us, she is seen frequently playing Noggin on facebook, btu she didnt reply to my message there...

6:20 am

6:20 am

I've never been to Facebook....what is Noggin?

6:21 am

Scarlet has not replied to my e-mails.

6:21 am

6:21 am

same here, scrabs

Katie i can't its a lap top

Oh DUH! Have the related 6... Thanks!

6:21 am

Noggin is a word-grid game like this, but timed--it is Babble on cocaine. Fun, but addicting.

6:21 am

yw ;-)

Howzabout the first ca6/24?

6:21 am

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?

6:22 am

you can dive in once i open the second bottle:))

6:22 am

I'll have to give Facebook a look.

6:25 am

6:25 am

6:25 am

Scarlet is definitely AWOL. Worrisome.

6:26 am

Yes, I am worried about Scarlet and her beloved.

6:26 am

6:26 am

6:51 am

i can truthfully say that I have had team meetings about death

6:51 am

me too, kje :)

6:52 am

waht do you do ata, i forget

6:52 am

death is the ultimate vacation and even more fun is that visa stops bothering you

6:52 am

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

6:52 am

well, that was during palaentology times

6:52 am

3 hour meeting???? sheesh

6:52 am

crossy pours another glass of champers in honor of kate,s hubbys b day:)

6:52 am

aaaahhh ata

6:53 am

one of the dept's big things was taphonomy - how things decompose from death onwards :)

6:53 am

this is the short one, every other one goes for at least 4 hours

6:53 am

ahh getting into forensics?

6:54 am

good morning!

6:54 am

ata... i have to say that is strangely interesting

6:54 am

pretty much, yep. how bodies decompose, physically and chemically. but generally dead fish and dead small mammals!

6:54 am

hi shene

6:54 am

MISERICORDE, n. A dagger which in mediaeval warfare was used by the foot soldier to remind an unhorsed knight that he was mortal.

6:55 am

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

6:55 am

it does sound very interesting. We are doing risk profiling and Regional Spatial Strategy - I want dead small animals!!

6:55 am

seriously stuck at 40 - think I must list

6:55 am

it is, kje. its fascinating. the things you can establish from a carcass / fossil is amazing

6:56 am

wait, 39

6:56 am

absolutely, cross. forensics has become *so* scientific now. amazing

6:56 am

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.

6:56 am

we have massive shale beds here,been meaning to take the boy fossil hunting

6:56 am

LOL red, I am doubting my ability to do that with 39 left

6:56 am

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.

Good afternoon/morning all.

9:07 am

Hi Haz

9:08 am

Hello Haz.

9:08 am

Hello there! nice to see you with us, elder - how are you feeling?

9:09 am

Haz, I am feeling ok. Somewhat sore, but doing fine considering. Thank you for asking.

9:10 am

That's good. It's always nice to be on the other side of a procedure.

9:10 am

yes :)

9:11 am

*pops head round the door* Afternoon Haz and Hi again elder

9:11 am

Good afternoon FMitch - chilly sort of day, isn't it?

9:11 am

Haz, even better if your part of the medical team.

9:11 am

Hello FMitch.

9:11 am

mm but so sunny and blueeee

9:12 am

well, I finished and am off to start me day- Best of luck to all of you! ENjoy your day!

9:12 am

Incredibly windy though.

9:12 am

It would be good day for curtains etc.

9:12 am

Bye Dr1.

9:12 am

Congrats DR

9:12 am

Bye DR.

9:12 am

I've seen a few umbrellas blown inside out today.

9:13 am

Well done !! DR1.

9:13 am

Bye Haz, FM and Elder ( and the lurkers)

9:13 am

Too windy to put anything out to dry here.

9:13 am

Haz, Has Mary Poppins flown by?.

9:14 am

Mary Poppins would stay put if she had any wit!

9:14 am

Annie the Flying Nun just went over! She's way off course.

9:14 am

lol

9:15 am

You're right - Barnes and Noble is nowhere near you, is it?

9:15 am

:)

9:16 am

ummm that went over my head :(

9:16 am

She signed off saying that she was going to Barnes and Noble.

9:17 am

Oh I have an excuse then I missed that entry, phew there is hope for me yet.

9:17 am

9.04 - Annie signed off.

9:17 am

Well I just saw you and elder and didn't bother reading back.

9:18 am

any clue for the ep7 ?

9:18 am

I thought you meant a flying nun, could see her trying to keep hold of the rosiery and praying furiously.

9:19 am

can't think of a clue ... Haz?

9:19 am

ep7.36 - mix up the letters of a pastry dish (three letters) then mix up the letters of one who writes in verse.

9:20 am

The ending rhymes with the deer like animal ant*****.

9:21 am

thanks HAZ ... got it

9:21 am

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

9:21 am

Great - and plural it for ep8.

9:21 am

the ending is to4/5

9:22 am

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..

9:23 am

io4/4 JBV

9:23 am

I could give you a clue, but whether it will make one io4/4 of difference?

9:23 am

oh, thanks, I'm always blind to that one! :)

9:23 am

helloJBV.

9:23 am

I'm always blind to asea and niece.

9:23 am

Me too I found the c8 no probs but the io4 took ages

9:24 am

that's funny, Haz, I was going to say "asea" also is in my blind spot

9:25 am

I think quite a few people find that as well, JBV.

9:25 am

but naturally the babblets like to 4/4 jump right out at us - strange

9:26 am

It's a conspiracy.

9:26 am

We have reached nirvanah, we only recognise babblets!

9:27 am

I miss the tenrec.

9:28 am

And when was the last time we had a good Welsh word?

9:28 am

I have his picture in my icon collection :) Another rare one is the lipstick tree. we had iwis just the other day.

9:29 am

That's true, it was a rare sighting.

9:30 am

crwth however becoming a fable it has been so long.

9:31 am

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?

9:31 am

LOL

9:31 am

'No, honestly, it was thiiiiiis big. And the beak!'

9:32 am

break needed . bye for now.

9:32 am

Bye elder - hope you feel more comfortable soon.

9:32 am

Bye elder, find another position to be comfortable in.

9:33 am

Bed for a while and tablets.

9:34 am

And dream of George.

9:34 am

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.

9:35 am

And....?

9:35 am

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.

9:35 am

Oh no!

9:35 am

and then does same to the one in front!

9:35 am

I am the next car in line.

9:36 am

Oh no! Oh no!

9:36 am

Oh noooooo!

9:36 am

Leap into car, gun engine and zoom out of way

9:36 am

What a relief!

9:36 am

by which time he has decided probably best not to move any further.

9:36 am

Goodness. Can you imagine crane driver having to report to his boss?

9:37 am

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'

9:37 am

HEaven knows how much damage he did! Deep dodos, both were v expensive looking cars.

9:38 am

He would probably have been better trying to crush the flowerbeds. (with apologies to all gardeners)

9:38 am

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 :)

9:39 am

The police are probably still there taking measurements and scratching heads.

9:39 am

and that concludes story time :)

9:40 am

HAve you finished the grid?

9:40 am

If you see an appeal on Crimewatch you can spill the beans.

9:40 am

Yes, grid done.

9:41 am

There wer loads of witnesses as it was 9am and v busy

9:41 am

Interesting one today, fair amount of head scratching

9:41 am

They'll probably report to the police that a female speeded away from the scene. Probably his accomplice.

9:42 am

Oh ha ha!! *grin*

9:42 am

I tell you, you'll get the blame somewhere along the line.

9:42 am

Yes, quite a few words that I entered more in hope than certainty.

9:42 am

speeded? Is that a proper past tense?

9:43 am

As his catapillar tracks were almost as high as my car it was rather intimidating when he stopped just behind me. sped?

9:43 am

sped

9:43 am

Haz, time for your meds I think dear.

9:44 am

I've looked it up - speeded - travelled at irregular or dangerous speed. Pretty accurate in this case.

9:44 am

eek phone and doorbell. TTFN

9:45 am

Bye for now.

9:46 am

That'll be the police wanting to take a statement...

9:47 am

hi all

9:48 am

Hello ardilla.

9:48 am

good morning everyone

9:49 am

Good morning flosey.

9:49 am

has crossy been in this morning?

9:49 am

He certainly has - he's in fine spirits.

9:50 am

hope he's still around

9:50 am

He'll probably turn up again.

9:50 am

did he complete the grid?

9:51 am

he's not online right now

9:51 am

just wanted him to see my icon for his 15th anniveresary

9:52 am

Let me check back.

9:52 am

anniversary too!!!

9:53 am

Yes - I knew!

9:53 am

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.

9:54 am

thanks FM

9:55 am

I didn't realize that FM, will try it sometime - do you just click on the name in the list?

9:55 am

yes it's that easy :)

9:56 am

thanks, learned another new bit about babble today

9:56 am

you're welcome

10:06 am

I haven't seen babrab in a long time, is he still around?

10:07 am

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.

10:07 am

thanks Haz

10:08 am

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.

10:09 am

lol, but your knowledge of babble and clues are much appreciated

10:09 am

I think we're a bit like the fixtures and fittings.

10:09 am

lol

10:10 am

that's what my boss said when I quit to get married - thought you were a permanent fixture around here!!

10:11 am

I'm sure he meant it as a compliment!

10:11 am

...said in a very kind way, he was just a sweet, gentle person

10:12 am

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.

10:13 am

oh no, was leaving Toronto, hubby was a student at UBC

10:14 am

Oh I see.

10:16 am

my phantom today: ozone

10:17 am

good morning Sean

10:17 am

morning flosey :)

10:17 am

Hello Sean.

10:17 am

Back again It's been like Clpham Junction today with all the commings and goings.

10:17 am

Hi Sean

10:17 am

hi haz

10:18 am

and FM

10:18 am

So, FMitch, was it the police at the door looking for a witness statement?

10:18 am

Oh you are so droll MRs Haz, it was a courier actually

10:19 am

shortly followed by the chap clearing B's garage.

10:19 am

He was probably an undercover cop sent to see if you were dangerous.

10:20 am

Oh, well, you're making progress then. (They're probably searching for contraband.)

10:20 am

Ah no that would have been the armed response unit they sent round to pick up the guns a while back!

10:20 am

Wasn't it as well you got rid of them?

10:21 am

**throwing things about nervously** what about cops looking for contraband?

10:21 am

You hear of people being convicted with circumstantial evidence...

10:21 am

Never really been comfortable around guns even when I had a shotgun, but I guess that is better than being clase.

10:21 am

*blase rather!

10:22 am

Well, Sean, it depends on who tells the story. Fmitch will claim innocence.

10:22 am

IT's OK Sean you are safe :)

10:23 am

but FM, why did you have a shotgun? if I may ask

10:23 am

It's just as well my real reputation is safe because my babble one is torn to shreds by my so called friends daily :)

10:23 am

I'm glad someone asked.

10:23 am

I was a member of a clay pidgeon gun club.

10:24 am

I would have thought you'd use rifles for that FM

10:24 am

yeah... i hate clay pigeons too

10:24 am

This puts a new light on teasing FMitch.

10:25 am

Some use side by side shotguns I had a double chanber single barrelled Remmington .

10:25 am

wow, sorry, guns scare me

10:25 am

I've always led the way for FMitch to be declared free of all blame for everything.

10:25 am

ROFL

10:25 am

I won't hear a word said against her.

10:26 am

A fine, upstanding woman and a source of information about babble that can't be beaten.

10:26 am

OK don't over do it!

10:26 am

Too much?

10:26 am

a tad :)

10:26 am

gentleman...scholar... we get it Haz :P

10:26 am

no, well said Haz

10:27 am

gentlewoman perhaps?

10:27 am

She's an upstanding woman - except when she's ti5/16.

10:27 am

true flosey, but the reference doesn't make as much sense that way

10:27 am

thanks haz, didn't have that one

10:27 am

Yea good point flosey - who you calling a man Sean ;)

10:28 am

You're welcome, flosey.

10:28 am

I'm a nice girl honest :)

10:28 am

Think very carefully before you reply, Sean...

10:28 am

would you believe i'm color blind? can't tell the difference between those pink and blue icons...

10:29 am

A master-stroke.

10:29 am

Have you thought of a career in the Diplomatic Service?

10:29 am

haha

10:30 am

LOL

10:30 am

I have returned. Made the mistake of checking out the latest stock market cartwheels. Oy.

10:33 am

10:33 am

Hello Judi. Best not to look at anything financial for a while, I reckon.

10:34 am

someone is makin gmoney on these flucuations

10:34 am

oh Judi - hi, and that could be depressing

hi all. judi, don't look.

10:34 am

yo yos need while to settle down

10:34 am

Hello TO - nice to see you.

10:34 am

Hi TO

10:35 am

yes, amazing thing is all the buy/sell profits would cover the mess, but wrong pockets

10:35 am

yoyo's are still in office though

10:35 am

Amen. What a nightmare. Although, my measley investments seem to be holding their own. (fingers, toes and portfolio crossed).

10:35 am

hope they stay that way Judi

10:35 am

I mean your stocks, not your appendages

10:35 am

Hello TO!

10:36 am

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.

10:36 am

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

10:36 am

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.

10:38 am

ep8/50

10:38 am

its the ep 8 50; 7 is credited down, but 8 must go up

10:38 am

clairebear - it's the ep8 - plural of ep7.

ok

anything else?

oh thanks haz

10:38 am

Well, there's a plus. Getting paid to do what you love. Good fer ya, baby.

10:38 am

ep7/36 actually comes from the upper E but could also be from the lower one

and ndanlia

10:39 am

It's great to have a job like that TO

10:39 am

unclench your jaw & let your tongue out of your cheek

10:39 am

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?

10:40 am

You need those gritted teeth emoticons as well.

10:40 am

Oh dear I was being serious, I have loved the jobs I've had, sorry :(

10:40 am

Sorry, TO. You faked me out. Keep playing those lottery numbers.

10:41 am

chinese are our biggest creditors, russians 2nd; dutch & english own most companies & properties

my bank just merged. stock went up nicely too

10:41 am

We definitely need emoticons in Babble. I love those little suckers.

nDan: so THEY'll be getting abiled out, too!

10:42 am

Go figure, TO. Economics confound me in general.

phantom: opiate. which i could use about now :/

10:43 am

like the big merging frenzy in the late 80s for banks

10:44 am

it's easy judi - 1 % owns everything & they occassionally let others thinks they do, but then pull something to make you face reality

10:44 am

Mmmmm. Opiates. lol.

10:44 am

Would opiates not make you sn6/33?

10:44 am

thanks again Haz

10:44 am

You're welcome!

10:44 am

How about a po6/24 anyone *grin*

10:45 am

Accompanied by a baked po6/21?

10:45 am

my dauhter's fav late night meal [go figure]; first word i saw

10:45 am

10:47 am

Morning josh

10:47 am

Hiyo, Josh!

10:47 am

I just wanted to sound enthusiastic and welcoming.

10:48 am

That takes a lot of acting ability?

10:48 am

The Oscar will be mine this year. Step aside Meryl Streep.

10:49 am

*claps politely*

10:49 am

Of course it will Haz, of course it will.

10:49 am

hi josh. haz how abut som ejellied salad as 5 with that po6/21 HAZ YOU ARE NOT GENUINELY HAPPY TO BE HERE?

10:49 am

Thank you all. You don't know how much this means to me.

i thought topsy would be a word, but i guess not

10:50 am

I guess only when turvy's around.

10:50 am

Bada Bing! Fireworks!

10:50 am

change the 2nd letter for a valid one - reminds me of your green frog

10:50 am

Congrats Judi

10:50 am

Yay for Judi!

10:51 am

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

10:51 am

Congratulations Judi!

10:51 am

yeah judi

10:51 am

Lone Ranger? George Clooney? Please, not Johnny Depp.

10:52 am

I'd like to thank Lickety for the bail-out (albeit not financial).

10:53 am

Tonto. Pffth.

10:54 am

But, who will play Silver?

after 20 minutes with this grid it still looks like gibbereish

10:54 am

That's gibberish with 6 o's, TO.

10:54 am

Even when comlete it still looks that way TO

10:54 am

So, Haz, who are you wearing for the Oscars? (It always sounds so bizarre when they ask that!)

10:54 am

i surrender ... are the ep 7 and 8 words i would know / understand / have heard of????

10:54 am

I'm off to lunch. Hi Ho, Honda!

10:55 am

10:55 am

e + peach center + abandon all h***

10:55 am

ep7: iso's relative.

10:55 am

I've never used the ep7 and ep8.

Good day, all! *poof*

10:57 am

Bye Judi.

10:58 am

why just used it at a cocktail party the other day

bye judi!

10:58 am

Of course you did. It just slipped your mind.

10:59 am

Was that the same cocktail party where you were drinking yarn?

10:59 am

it was indeed - so you cansee how that would cloud your memory

10:59 am

the words just got tangled

those knitters are big dirnkers. she probably forgot.

icon successfully changed

11:00 am

Fuzzy memories, etc;

11:00 am

my mind was tied into knots

11:00 am

She was all strung out.

11:00 am

ooh good vicuna

11:02 am

Uh, hi, bye, Stidmama!

knit: you say that like it's a revelation...

11:03 am

you know you're not supposed to use that anymore

11:03 am

And that you don't approve?

11:03 am

Anyway, what have minds got to do with it? It 's the grid's fault.

11:04 am

on the contrary haz i am here with my kitty laughing my head off and he is looking at ME like i am crazy

11:04 am

Yep, nDan. No ipecac for us.

11:05 am

Poor cat. Not to be able to understand the joy of laughter.

ok peeps, must go walkies. later all - nice to see you.

11:05 am

We'll know we're good when we're enough to make a cat laugh.

11:05 am

you too TO, bye

11:05 am

Bye, TO. Enjoy the walk!

11:05 am

Bye TO, have a good walk and take no ipecac.

11:05 am

have a nice walk TO

11:05 am

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.

11:06 am

Do you think the Cat of Glory ever laughs?

cats don't laugh. they smirk.

11:06 am

who is the cat of glory?

11:06 am

only hysterically

11:06 am

Sniggers, perhaps.

11:07 am

one of them is truman's "s"ister

11:07 am

It's kind of an honorary title awarded to the Cat Most Mentioned in the log.

11:07 am

my cat would like to nominate himself since he puts up with me

lol stop it you lot i must tear myself away

11:08 am

they smile amusedly at our illusions of superiority & control

11:08 am

But you don't talk about your cat enough for him to qualify, aknitter. You must include every detail of his life.

11:08 am

oh i have no doubt who is in charge in this house it is meeko

11:09 am

If your cat wants it, aknitter, you'll need to start keeping the entire log apprised of his every move.

ROFL

11:09 am

You know - he blinked. He blinked again. He's moved. He's stop moving.

11:09 am

Go on, TO! Git!

11:09 am

well lets see 11:09 stretched 11:10 rolled over 11:11 sleeping .... that about sums it up!

11:10 am

stopped moving that should be.

11:10 am

Not nearly enough detail, aknitter. Where are the cuteness factor details?

11:10 am

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*

11:10 am

he does like to play fetch with a ball does he qualify for the talent portion of the contest?

11:10 am

And plenty of those awwwwww moments. Every awww moment.

11:10 am

Oh, whoops. As usual, Haz manages to squeak in ahead of me!

11:11 am

it has to be something like that: awwwww sily just rolled over! her tummy spots are sooooo cute! she looked at me! awww!

11:11 am

Does he juggle the ball?

11:11 am

Oh no, Ata appears with her nominee!

11:11 am

juggle? now that would be undignified cat behavior he is not a show off

11:11 am

There's going to be a cat fight for the title.

11:12 am

clealy i need to keep a more detailed journal of his life

11:12 am

Does he help you wind your yarn? You know, sit with his little paws akimbo?

11:12 am

Wait, everyone, Nightshade has the cutest whiskers in the whole entire world! They're so whiskery! And cute!

11:12 am

and long and shiny?

11:12 am

I think you're a very slack owner if you haven't got all this documented aknitter. We need videos.

11:12 am

and deadly when needed

11:12 am

he loves to "help" me with my yarn unfortunatley we define the word help a bit differently

11:13 am

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!

11:13 am

ae 5/12 clue would really help me

11:13 am

pl of long time

11:13 am

Must take a quick break..... no cat of glory awards without me!

11:13 am

well, hobbit mst be the dog of glory, just look at her eyes in my pic

11:13 am

ae5/12 - ends with US spie organization

11:13 am

i have decided that you are all just jealous of my kitty! yup that is it

11:13 am

that is the 5/10 ndan

11:13 am

spy. Whatever.

11:14 am

thanks vicuna

11:14 am

*.. 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..!*

11:14 am

Huh, aknitter. Your kitty is just so mundane.

11:14 am

sorry

11:14 am

Hey, people, I challenge you all to cat icon pics at 40 paces!

11:14 am

11:15 am

11:15 am

Oh yes please Vi I am feeling very hungry.

11:16 am

My cat has a naked blobby paunch and the ugliest splotchy color you ever saw, yet she shall dazzle you all!

11:16 am

Ha ha, FM. Have a chicken po6.

11:16 am

*my* cat has stripes *and* spots

11:16 am

11:17 am

11:17 am

Oh no, rururocks with the quick draw!

11:18 am

i have tried to upload my kitty but i keep getting a not in the right fomat message

11:18 am

Cat icon? Let me see....

11:18 am

11:19 am

11:19 am

11:19 am

*** breaks out cruumpets *** and toaster

11:19 am

The original cat of glory <----------

11:19 am

off to look

11:20 am

Im 2nd

11:20 am

at5/14 - a plus any of Mr Bennett or Mr Blair or Mr Soprano

11:20 am

Hey all.

11:20 am

Hello Bzzn.

11:20 am

it says jpeg

11:21 am

Clue for the E in bottom right corner?

11:21 am

thank you haz..

11:21 am

file size might be too big?

11:21 am

You're welcome, ruru.

11:21 am

hmmm. sounds ok. you could try taking the e out, making it a jpg. sometimes works

11:21 am

or upload it somewhere else online and then link to it

11:22 am

ep8 - plural of ep7 - if you need more help, sing out.

11:22 am

don't mention singing near Vi

11:22 am

perhaps it is too big will try to get it to resize with paint .. off to play

11:22 am

There's mine. Doesn't show her cutesy-wutesy wittew face very well, but not the star: clearly a sign of her Glory.

11:22 am

I mean NOTE the star.

11:22 am

I'm so overcome with looking at the cat of glory that I didn't think.

11:23 am

Maybe she didn't see the singing reference. Nobody mention it and we might be safe.

11:24 am

la la la!

11:24 am

Thank goodness I had time to get the emergency earplugs in.

11:24 am

TY, Haz. Got it.

11:24 am

That's my tip of the day. Keep earplugs about you at all times for you never know when a Vicuna might sing.

11:24 am

Vi have you been practicing, you got a note right!

11:25 am

LA LA LA!!!!

11:25 am

You're welcome, Bzzn.

11:25 am

There, see how nice FM is to me? =)

11:25 am

ah ha! I did it -- is he not the cutest (insert awwww here)

11:25 am

No wonder Vicuna's cat has her face to the wall. She's clearly trying to retreat from the noise.

11:26 am

Awwwwwwwweeeeeeeee

11:26 am

He is a handsome cat. But does he have any Russian about him?

11:26 am

Oh well, if you like that sort of thing, aknitter.

11:27 am

I'm afraid my cat is cuter

11:27 am

What about my kitty cat?? Huh??

11:27 am

We need an independent judge here. These women are clearly not balanced.

11:27 am

*just put an old pic of baby sily up*

11:27 am

But then, we've known that for a long time.

11:28 am

I vote for FM's cat. Because FM is nice to me!

11:28 am

russian? he is siamese if you please lol

11:28 am

*whispers -cheques in the post Vi*

11:29 am

FM's cat is ....THE SUBJECT OF A STEWARD'S ENQUIRY.

11:29 am

*Thanks, dear. Any time.*

11:29 am

Why's that, Haz?

11:29 am

**shocked look**

11:29 am

Bribery and corruption. I can sniff it out anywhere.

11:30 am

my cat is corruption free

11:30 am

Cat bribing the mice to play dead?

11:30 am

bribes? I have chocolate and cheese cake

fireworks ova heah

11:30 am

My cat is decorum free.

11:30 am

Haz I don't want to remind you of our earlier conversation but I will if I have to ;)

11:30 am

WOOHOO! JOSH!

11:30 am

congrats josh

11:30 am

Yay for joshuavorbis!

11:31 am

sily is corruption free and decorum full

11:31 am

FMitch is a fine upstanding woman. I won't hear a word against her.

11:31 am

meows for josh

11:31 am

Especially if I have my ear plugs in.

11:31 am

Congratulations josh!

11:31 am

good ... and the cute kitty?

11:31 am

That's only because you still have your earplugs in Haz.

11:31 am

AAAARRGGH!!!! Why do you always beat me to the punch?

11:31 am

(aknitter, your cat is goooorgeous! what is his name?)

11:32 am

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)

11:32 am

Must be because Europe's 11:31 comes before mine!

11:32 am

my kitty's name is meeko ata. i was just off oogling all the kitties we have a rather handsome group here

11:33 am

se 5/16?

11:33 am

LOL call yourself the chief of Police - principals went right out the windw!

11:33 am

Poor Vicuna. You need frenzied fingers to keep up with me.... if you'd stop singing, you'd be able to type more quickly.

11:33 am

Everybody's kitty is prettier than mine! lol

11:33 am

what a lovely name!!

the last 10 minutes were me trying to figure out wtf the ap6's were

11:33 am

noooo Vi! I love Nightshade!

11:34 am

Awe Vi yours is beautiful!

11:34 am

se5/16 - a rank in the Indian army? se plus opposite of girl but change the first consonant.

11:34 am

se5/16 - ends with something that rhyes with male child

11:34 am

ata what is your kitties name he /she has cool eyes

11:34 am

thanks

11:34 am

she's called Silverclaw and is well known to be the prettiest cat in the world :P

11:34 am

(See, Haz beat me again. and I wasn't even singing. Perhaps I shall start singing laments about the unfairness of life, etc etc)

11:35 am

But can she juggle balls? Or roll wool?

11:35 am

she can Translocate

11:35 am

Vicuna - don't do it! Don't turn into a country and western singer!

11:35 am

Nightshade comes when I whistle. That's her only sign of intelligence.

11:36 am

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

11:36 am

*shocked voice* I would NEVER sing country and western, Haz! I was thinking more in the vein of Lieder, or possibly Fada.

11:36 am

Well, thank goodness for that.

11:37 am

not sure what Silverclaw does that is intelligent. She just sits around acknowledging adoration

11:37 am

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.

11:37 am

Good afternoon all....(why has everyone got pictures of cats ?)

11:37 am

No rescuing people from burning buildings?

11:38 am

No alerting people to children trapped down wells?

11:38 am

These cats have a lot to do to catch up with Lassie.

11:38 am

she can do back flips ...

11:38 am

Hello caitlyn!

11:38 am

lassie ... timmy's in the well... poor lassie you'd have thought she would have quit!

11:38 am

hi cait!

11:38 am

Changed icon

11:39 am

Somebody mentioned the Cat of Glory and it kind of took off from there. These babblers get very enthusiastic sometimes.

11:39 am

cait have you ever considered changing your name to cat?

11:39 am

Hello cait :)

11:39 am

This is the first time I have changed my icon since Atas birthday............meow knitter

11:40 am

Hello, caitlyn!

11:40 am

PO 6/21 please

11:40 am

Okay, I guess I'd better change my icon, too.

11:41 am

dryer calling meeko and i must go toss in another load bbs

11:41 am

There, Haz. Is this cat talented enough for you?

11:41 am

spuds ruru

11:41 am

My cat is just cute!!

11:42 am

(Yikes, what a storm. if I suddenly disappear, assume I've been washed away.)

11:42 am

crap I had that I need the next one put it in the wrong spot

11:42 am

p

11:42 am

You need the dinner in a crust, ruru?

11:42 am

Be careful Vi

11:43 am

no........

11:43 am

duh

11:43 am

I am so blind

11:43 am

*gets ready the bucket of fish*

11:44 am

That is one clever cat, Vi!

11:44 am

and pl it ruru

11:44 am

*** feels like Stevie Wonder for a minute***

11:44 am

That will please all the cats FM

11:44 am

grin

11:44 am

Oooh. Very non-PC ruru. Speaking of a blind black man...

11:45 am

Nightshade would probably prefer a bucket of cheese, but as I've switched her out, she won't know.

11:46 am

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!

11:46 am

Haz I am so politically incorrect most of the time it isn't funny

11:46 am

Bye Haz think I might head that way too.

11:46 am

ap 6/24 for my last word please

11:46 am

What are you cooking tonight Haz?

11:47 am

Goodbye, Haz. And keep working with Spangle on the cooking. You never know when a new trick might take!

11:47 am

ap6/24 - ends with some astrological fish

11:47 am

Bye FM and Haz

11:47 am

(minus a letter)

11:47 am

I think she has really gone to do hourswork but just won't admit it.

11:47 am

Awwww, goodbye, FM, as well.

11:47 am

hi everyone... how's it going?

11:48 am

Im hungry Vi :(

11:48 am

Hi AsG

11:48 am

Hello, AsGreen.

11:48 am

some odd words in this grid?

11:48 am

FM do you want me to cook a pork chop for you ?

11:48 am

We can't have that, FM. Go eat. *sigh*

11:48 am

thank you...

11:49 am

lol - got the y's pretty easily

11:49 am

Yay for rururocks?

11:49 am

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

11:49 am

hi ruru and wtg!

11:49 am

Congrats ruru!!

11:49 am

Oh please cait, droool!!

11:49 am

LOL sorry FM !!

11:50 am

Congrats ruru and now I am really off, back later.

11:50 am

It would be called after the tribe, probably, Ata. Tlingit is a common one.

11:50 am

Often they're grouped as "Northwest coast Indians"

11:50 am

ty! I shall try googling for that :D

11:50 am

See you later FM enjoy supper

11:51 am

(another part of the Grendel commission!)

11:52 am

I know you work with art Ata but what is your job ?

11:52 am

lol. He's piling it all on!

11:52 am

cait, you are in the grid, though not a word!

11:52 am

anything anyone wants to pay me to do!

11:53 am

this is a different pic for the same guy - a Pacific Northwest green man

11:53 am

I knew I would be famous one day AsG

11:53 am

LOL Ata

11:53 am

Hmmm... As you pointed out, they don't usually use much green! lol

11:54 am

But they do a ton of masks, so in that respect it should meld well.

11:55 am

yes ... and I've found a wonderful petroglyph face from the Columbia Gorge to use as a base

11:55 am

Cool!

11:56 am

lots of fun words in this grid!

11:56 am

no trying to decide whether to be traditional for a green man or way out stylised

11:58 am

Its not too bad a grid AsG

11:59 am

Fun. Fiddle with it both ways.

12:35 pm

but there are more cool ones. paralytic shellfish poisoning, neurotoxic SP, amnesic SP etc

12:35 pm

thanks flos

12:35 pm

I'm loving the words in this grid, btw

12:35 pm

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 : )

12:35 pm

My friend had the one with the very colorful hallucinations, the high fever, and the shaking...

12:36 pm

tell your director that we need to talk kje; this just doesn't work with my schedule AT ALL

12:36 pm

oh, the fun one!

12:36 pm

he is a new yorker, asg, doubt if you can talk him down : )

12:36 pm

must shower, etc. lunch date

12:36 pm

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.

12:36 pm

kje, *I'M* a New Yorker

12:37 pm

oooh, have fun flosey!

12:37 pm

"fun" in terms of marine biology

12:37 pm

she's luck to be alive and unaffected

12:37 pm

I will probably give up on the last 6 words soon.

12:37 pm

no, you are a new jersey, girl, no?

12:37 pm

Oh, I know! Didn't think you really thought it was fun to HAVE!

12:37 pm

LOLOL

12:37 pm

She sure is!

12:37 pm

c

12:38 pm

no no MG, you can't give up with 6 to go

12:38 pm

c what dan

12:38 pm

marine toxins was always my area of real interest though during uni

12:38 pm

I am starting to hate this computer!

12:38 pm

have wondered where you have been dan lurker

12:38 pm

Hi kje! are you going somewhere (i missed the start of the convo)

12:38 pm

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

12:38 pm

I have been staring at them off and on for hours and it isn't fun anymore! Can anyone answer my pleas for clues?

12:39 pm

i am being chained to my desk and computer for a couple weeks dan... it is a cruel cruel world

12:39 pm

i'll help if i can ...

12:39 pm

total BS kje.... ;)

12:39 pm

been lurking...started a new contract at work...110 new stops for my couriers...haven't been able to chat much

12:39 pm

but I'm staring equally helplessly for my last 5 too :)

12:39 pm

new jersey... that will be your new nickname asg

12:40 pm

NJ for short

12:40 pm

****pays attention to Ata's clues, so as to get more words without list!****

12:40 pm

kje, maybe you can run babble in the background and sneak on once in a while? (That's what I did)

12:40 pm

but that is good, dan... business booming despite the horrors happening on wall street

12:40 pm

NY, NJ - it's all the same. I'm in NY often enough....

12:40 pm

not EVEN the same, NJ

12:41 pm

pa4, ot4, op4.... and the rest are po's - is that what you're looking for, MG?

12:41 pm

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?

12:41 pm

good for business, bad for my score...darn it

12:41 pm

dan... if i do, i will not get my work done... kick me off if you see me

12:41 pm

sure it is, if you lived in NYC then it counts!

12:41 pm

Yes, Ata!

12:41 pm

ot4 = ot + I see. op4 = op + letter after R.

12:41 pm

pa4 = pa + opposite of northwest

12:41 pm

aha - found asg's poke point - yea!

12:41 pm

darn, I have these words....

12:41 pm

and there's rather a lot of po's ...

12:42 pm

only if you insist kje...and i'll try not to kick too hard, as I don't want to cause any damage

12:42 pm

Thank you! Thank you! Now I just need 4 po's... will ask specifically in a sec...

12:42 pm

pulease! dan, you would take all too much pleasure - ha!

12:42 pm

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!)

12:42 pm

OK, must run, teaching ethics in 14 minutes, must get my head suitably into it

12:43 pm

lots of honey in challah, asg? that is how I like it

12:43 pm

The first 4/6, 5/18, 6/24, and the 7. Pathetic of me I know... but sometimes it's gotta be.

12:43 pm

lololol - kje is teaching ethics! where does bullying fall in that class?!? and yes, lots of honey!

12:43 pm

sigh - will go to class dreaming of honey and challah

12:44 pm

and asg, I am a damn good ethics teacher : )

12:44 pm

6 and 7 - marijuana + apple *** + plural

12:44 pm

first po4/6 I have is winnie the ****

12:44 pm

12:45 pm

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.

12:46 pm

I'll miss ya kje...sneak in if you can, er, so we can know you're ok before we kick you

12:46 pm

I used to have a cat called that

12:47 pm

12:47 pm

Can i help?

12:47 pm

31 left here...moving a bit slow without the list.

12:48 pm

po5/18

12:48 pm

shellD - you are addicted!!

12:48 pm

are there sa words?

12:48 pm

Just clued for me-- opposite of momsy.

12:48 pm

she was called po5/18 blossomflower

12:48 pm

lol mg, Ata is saying she had a cat called that....

12:48 pm

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.

12:49 pm

blahblahblah... LOL

12:49 pm

OHHHH!!!!!

12:49 pm

Been a long day.

Oh geez and I tried to clue it....Feeling foolish goes back to lurking

12:49 pm

got the SA 6s... thanks

12:49 pm

I clued it too Red.

12:49 pm

lol sorry my fault. I wasn't very clear *facepalm*

12:50 pm

don't have the sa6s

We just Loooove to be helpful Ata...

12:50 pm

No, no, I'm just a little slow today.

12:50 pm

Nobody slept well last night; hail storm.

12:50 pm

got one now

12:50 pm

how's walter feeling these days, monkey? does he love school?

12:50 pm

got 'em both now....

12:50 pm

how did your cat get to be called SCSI?

12:51 pm

hail? isn't it a little early in the season for that?

12:51 pm

The cat came with th ename.

12:51 pm

back to the lecture...

12:51 pm

ooo! well at least its imaginative!

12:52 pm

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.

12:52 pm

I agree, yes it is. You should see Dutch vets try to pronounce it.

12:52 pm

Hail is right on for fall here.

12:54 pm

Dutch vets cant pronounce Hobbit either LOL

12:54 pm

Monkey, that is a beautiful picture

12:54 pm

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

12:54 pm

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.

12:55 pm

Thanks! Wish he had stood a BIT more in the center but you take what you can get at this age...

12:55 pm

yes, yes you do! lol

12:56 pm

ok, well, I think it's time for the list... 32 left

12:56 pm

go As go!

12:56 pm

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.

12:56 pm

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!

12:57 pm

Pluralof ae4...

12:57 pm

Oh, the other one!

12:57 pm

go red - you are a better person than I (at babble anyway)...

12:57 pm

yes, the other one!

12:57 pm

Sounds a lot like a kind of tree but with e instead of ca...

12:57 pm

takes after you, does he monkey???

Nah, I am just too lazy to switch between the two screens.

12:58 pm

In this, actually, yes, and I insist he will have a vastly better upbringing than I ever did.

12:58 pm

lol monkey, skipping ae5/12

12:59 pm

(((monkey))) he will do fine.

1:00 pm

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...

1:00 pm

ah. the hairloss clue!

1:00 pm

got it! tx mg!! :)

1:00 pm

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.

1:03 pm

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.

1:04 pm

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.

1:05 pm

ep7 your ep**aph is on your tombstone + opp of closed minus n

OK, I'm off! Have fuun all, and thanks again!

1:05 pm

later monkey, be well ((hugs))

1:05 pm

1:05 pm

I was surprised that kenly stayed last week...she has gotten very annoying.

1:08 pm

1:08 pm

1:08 pm

1:11 pm

1:11 pm

1:12 pm

1:18 pm

how is Spanglettina?

1:18 pm

Don't go, TO!

must - but i leave my ion for your amusement

1:19 pm

Spangletina is fine, but we're having problems accessing our external environment because of persistent precipitation.

1:19 pm

It's too wet to walk!

1:19 pm

oh dear. that's rather sad.

1:19 pm

isn't it rather dark, too?

1:19 pm

Ooooh, an icon to look at. Not MIkey, I hope?

1:19 pm

Yes, it's dark and it's just been a horrible windy day.

1:20 pm

mikey? WHERE???!!

1:20 pm

False alarm.

1:20 pm

lol. loved your email reply. very sensible! gruel is the best

1:20 pm

phew

1:20 pm

I just thought I'd see if I could panic you.

1:20 pm

lol - hysterical TO ... I love the onion!

1:21 pm

Gruel was the foundation of the British empire.

1:21 pm

PHone...

1:21 pm

speaking of gruel.... I'm producing the school play this winter: Oliver!

1:21 pm

what *is* gruel? sloppy porridge?

1:22 pm

darn, I need clues for all 3 of my last words....

1:22 pm

Let me look up my gruel recipe book.

1:23 pm

got one

1:23 pm

I can't imagine Nigella doing a gruel segment, somehow.

1:23 pm

LOL NIgella could make anything sexy

1:24 pm

UNO... guess I just needed to whine

1:24 pm

But she annoys me so much with all that simpering and pouting.

1:24 pm

urf yes

1:24 pm

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

1:25 pm

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.'

1:26 pm

can some tell me the starting letters of the 8s, please?

ah, that must be my mum's cat, she's lovely

1:26 pm

ep8 (being a plural) and ca8

1:26 pm

ep8 (it's a pl)

1:26 pm

thanks, haz

1:26 pm

and ca8

1:27 pm

thanks, asgreen :)

1:27 pm

ya beat me haz.... are you done w/the grid? I have ONE left....cannot monkey, but I will!

1:27 pm

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?

1:27 pm

I am indeed done with the grid.

1:27 pm

I bet she looks great in a thong though

1:27 pm

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.

1:28 pm

(belated: wtg haz!)

no she doesn't, never mind though, we love her

1:28 pm

Yes, but at least lumps would be nutritious, kind of.

1:28 pm

yes, but I opened the list!

1:28 pm

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?

1:28 pm

Not to worry, Chrissie. It's hard to arrange a fair contest, some babblers were resorting to bribes.

1:29 pm

no no no the cat!

1:29 pm

It's bad enough that Nigella doesn't wear an apron. To appear cooking in a thong is too much.

1:29 pm

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.

1:29 pm

just tell me.... is the ap6/21 a silly word like ho6? or is it real?

thing, thing a thong.....

1:30 pm

Thing it loud to last the whole night looooooong.

1:30 pm

LOL! Lizsark's facebook profile thing says "Liz Elmont is now wondering if Oscar could have eaten them....."

1:30 pm

ap6/21 - variation on a sleep disorder.

thing of happy not sad

rolls on the floor laughing at the babble ladies of song.

1:30 pm

ap6/21 is an alternate spelling of a sleep disorder

1:31 pm

Nigella's thong? How did Oscar get hold of Nigella's thong?

TY for that.

1:31 pm

better than toyah's!

1:31 pm

They'd be bigger, anyway.

can I get a clue for ae5/12 please

1:32 pm

clue for the ep8 plz

ae plus super secret us spy acengy

1:32 pm

ae + not the FBI but the ***

Stole clue from someone else though, I admit.

1:32 pm

ty red

Yaaay AsG! and here I am with 21.

and jess

1:32 pm

ep8 is a plural

1:32 pm

1:33 pm

need more than that jessmom

1:33 pm

I need a snack - brb to clue a bit

Movei its the tops, but with a P instead of an M...does that help?

1:33 pm

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??

1:34 pm

ep7 your ep**aph is on your tombstone + opp of closed minus n

1:34 pm

yay listlessness!

Yes, then I feel as if everyone is on an even field with me, who is usually listless.

1:34 pm

just wait for the 500+ grid!

1:34 pm

ty jessmom

1:35 pm

yw

That would have to have a lot of esses.

1:35 pm

The world will run out of ??????????? if that happens, Ata.

1:35 pm

1:36 pm

Anyway, have to let Spangle out. I'm getting the look. See you tomorrow!

1:36 pm

1:36 pm

coffee in the am would be great rth - it's a bit too late for me

1:37 pm

but I'm having a yummy avocado right now.... mmmmm

1:37 pm

Bye!

1:37 pm

I don't think I could do a full grid listless.... but am impressed by those of you who do!

1:37 pm

bye Haz!

1:38 pm

I *love* having a completely listless grid

i need help wit them

1:39 pm

I'm just masochistic

1:39 pm

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

1:40 pm

and only because there were great clues

hi jilli

1:41 pm

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

1:41 pm

must go and have lunch, then do my library shift. Hope it's not busy there so I can babble a bit :)

1:41 pm

good evening all. Here's the new icon theme for tomorrow :)

1:41 pm

listless babbling is fun, and really teamwork :)

1:42 pm

absolutely, sprite :D

1:42 pm

night jilli, have a good day

1:42 pm

well, that was stupid. Good bye, jilli, and have a good day, I meant. I really need to go to bed, lol.

1:43 pm

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!

1:43 pm

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.

1:44 pm

Is this another letter to your father, sprite? I thought you had already sent one.

one sugar please red

1:45 pm

its an old "kitten" pic. It was needed for the cat bragging session earlier

1:45 pm

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.

1:45 pm

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

1:46 pm

Must go!

1:46 pm

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!

1:46 pm

ok, bye!

1:46 pm

Oh, sprite, I think that would be good -- do you?

1:47 pm

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.

1:47 pm

Jilli, congrats on the 2nd in wordscraper! lol

last z is a plural

1:47 pm

Good for you -- now bye for a while...*waves*

I need to take another test for my new job, but I am procrastinating well.

1:48 pm

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!

1:48 pm

lol, AG!!!

1:48 pm

sneaking. have it all to yourself!

sneaking it makes it taste better.

1:49 pm

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! :)

1:49 pm

absolutely!

1:49 pm

bye AsG

1:49 pm

1:50 pm

1:50 pm

1:50 pm

1:52 pm

Thanks!!!!

1:53 pm

Weel, I have to admit, i saw Atas first, but it was sprites tht caused me to figure it out.

1:53 pm

1:53 pm

6:41 pm

i don't use the list, so i'm used to giving up!

6:41 pm

dont quit bernice

6:41 pm

haha but you only have 30 left! thats so close!

6:42 pm

what do you have against the list B?

6:42 pm

i don't use the list

6:42 pm

i just don't think it's fun

6:42 pm

thanks bernice. i was taking a break.

6:43 pm

if i use the list (and i used to) it feels like i'm just filling in the blanks, no fun

6:43 pm

i have 37 left and must get dinner for the kiddies. may bbl!

6:43 pm

haha i wish i could not use the list

6:43 pm

I only go there when I've hit the wall

6:43 pm

when i hit a wall i ask for a clue or i give up. i don't mind not finishing

6:44 pm

I just dont see how its different than getting clued

6:44 pm

in fact getting clued it easier than figuring by points

6:45 pm

haha i give up a lot too, but it makes me mad sometimes

6:45 pm

right pug, but i don't get clues for every word, only a few

6:45 pm

I agree

6:46 pm

i don't think there's anything wrong with using it, but i just don't

Bernice who do you think will win Project Runway?

7:01 pm

pie crust?

7:02 pm

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)

7:02 pm

oh my. was about to ask for a clcue for po6/21... so glad i thought twice about it

7:02 pm

i'm hoping the woman whose first name starts with K, i don't know how to spell it

7:03 pm

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

7:04 pm

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!!

7:04 pm

i like leanne too. i would be ok with jerrell too

Jerrell is pretty cool.

7:05 pm

exciting owl. certainly interesting enough to email back and meet for a nice dinner?

7:05 pm

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??

7:05 pm

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.

7:06 pm

lol, exactly

7:06 pm

Sorry, wandered, red

Pilates is killer. I can not really do most of it.

7:32 pm

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...

7:32 pm

Hi, scrabs!

I am sitting here with doors and windows open in shorts, enjoy the crickety noises...

7:32 pm

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:

7:33 pm

I LOVE late autumn and winter, red--so I like to think it's coming...

7:33 pm

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.

7:34 pm

LOLOL, red

7:34 pm

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........

7:34 pm

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!!

7:35 pm

Testilng my new/old icon

exciting news is I get to see the Stranglers 2 possibly 3 times while I am there!! woohoo

7:35 pm

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

7:36 pm

Hubby and I got shingles vaccine for free, since we were part of the threeyear study group

inge did you get my email?

7:37 pm

Guten Abend, Inge. Yes, the Zoster vaccine is now available.

oooh the optic nerve is not good, that is a bit severe.

7:37 pm

Oh, is he on IV antibiotics, lind?

7:37 pm

today, just now?

yeah he is having a lot of pain

7:37 pm

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

7:39 pm

It is very dangerous when it is in the optic nerve because of possible vision loss....

7:39 pm

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

7:40 pm

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

7:40 pm

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

7:44 pm

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

7:45 pm

lol, i take it the stranglers are a fave for you, lind

oh does it show?

7:46 pm

not at all, just a wild guess. lol

LOL

7:46 pm

will i be yelled at if i ask what the stranglers are? a band?

7:46 pm

Does anyone else not like this grid or is everyone done already?

7:51 pm

the top O is when something gelatinous moves, like out of a tube or something...

7:51 pm

the o's are oo4/5 a mistake exclamation

the top O I think is the green slimey stuf that o***s

7:51 pm

Ah, of course, Miss Q. Ty.

7:52 pm

and slimely oo4-y stuff

9:38 pm

Sprite doesn't choose the themes -- it's up to us to suggest them

9:38 pm

i guess that's why i haven't known the theme for a long while

9:39 pm

thank you!

9:39 pm

9:39 pm

Babbler wanted out and dear Sprite relieved her of the chore

9:40 pm

Ping, click on MY icon to find out! And the next one is in Sprite's profile :)

9:42 pm

10:15 pm

I already clued the other ap6, back at 10:11
