12:40 am

poor lickety and family -- they've been having a very hard time and yet Lickety has been so helpful to us all at no charge

12:41 am

true, i dont realise how much help lickety is until its not there

12:41 am

june, it's alist of clues for the available words, giving the first two letters and the point count and how many letters there are in each word.

12:42 am

check under babblers anon for a list after someone has finished.

12:42 am

thanks

12:43 am

ah, just passed 100

12:43 am

please, finishers, if you're going to post a list don't use Excel or such, just text -- some of us (like me) can't print out from spreadsheets

12:43 am

12:51 am

Now, that part I can relate with, I think my favorite ER patient was a 13 year old who took mushrooms, and his friends freaked out and brought him to the ER, he was totally fine, and just AMAZED by everything

12:52 am

I mean the little squares of numbers by the letters. How A, Q, and E is already grayed out? Apologies for using my private lingo like everyone would know what I meant!

1:20 am

ursh> we had 10 mins of rain yesterday .. I thought watering the garden and hanging washing out would bring it on, but the Universe is wise to my tricks now

1:20 am

because there are't any words coming from those letters

1:20 am

if you don't have the pro version you can't see the tile stats meli

1:20 am

there are no a q e words from those squares so they are greyed.

melissa> I'll have to give it a rest soon and log off the internet ... have to do some gardening today

1:32 am

1:32 am

bet they'll appeal

1:33 am

that sounds lovely, kath -- much better than computer time.

1:33 am

OJ? Gosh, I thought he was guilty 10 yrs ago .. have they only just noticed?

1:33 am

sounds like something that happened a long time ago, jilli?

1:33 am

yes flashpoint just had to scroll down chat is just whizzing by

1:33 am

yes, but not as late out here as where you are, 1mar, lol

1:33 am

melissa> Yes, have to cut my addiction a tad

1:33 am

that's formulaic....not likiing that...

1:33 am

too bad the original prosecution presented such a shoddy case

1:34 am

it's actually quite good

1:34 am

well still jilli it's well after 11pm there even if at 10 no?

1:34 am

1:34 am

1:35 am

bye mel, sleep well! Don't cross your eyes at 12 midnight...

1:35 am

goodnight melissa

1:35 am

I hope he gets 10 years that pig

1:35 am

that original case jury had no choice w/ what they were presented; too bad most don't follow that - the concept of the english judicial system

1:35 am

of course he'll appeal, the #%$@.

95! we'll see some of you later!

1:35 am

but with what money?? he must be broke by now?

1:35 am

1:37 am

ruru lol

1:37 am

I remember that car 'chase'

1:37 am

ruru you have the best sense of humour love it thankyou!!!!

1:37 am

1:37 am

anyone else they would have shot out the tires

1:37 am

ata, this judge denied appeal? GOOD

1:37 am

1:37 am

my son was just a little boy watching that...

1:38 am

Ata and Hobbit hugs take a look at Sprties icon sooo cute

1:38 am

1:38 am

I know it is a bad thing to think, but I can't help thinking I wish they had shot out the tires... and missed.

1:39 am

west, we are waiting for ours. Actually, we are waiting for the lady dog mum to come in heat, lol... she is 5 weeks overdue!

1:39 am

they are such nice little dogs....

1:39 am

I knew that sprite just thought you found one or something the icon is so adorable

1:40 am

sprite, your mama-dog-to-be is being a real bitch :)

1:40 am

I really do like that breed

1:40 am

yes they're sooooo cute

1:40 am

jilli, only toooo true! :D

1:40 am

How many words are there with W?

1:40 am

our daughter's brother in law just got one named him Charlie of course

1:40 am

i have 18

1:40 am

aw cute, west.

1:40 am

18

1:40 am

King Charles? or Cocker (spaniels)

1:41 am

back again, i got booted off, my computer or internet?

1:41 am

king charles cavalier, PAV

1:41 am

how cute are those puppies sprite

1:41 am

We had neighbours who had one, called Beauchamp, pronounced Beecham. I told them they should get another and call it Featherstonhaugh, pronounced Fanshaw (really).

1:41 am

might be both, Andree, but only local internet ;) Welcome back.

1:41 am

roflolllll jilli!

1:41 am

they look adorable...

1:42 am

is that the brred you are waiting for sprite

1:42 am

thx Just

1:42 am

they are, PAV. Very gentle and playful dogs.

1:42 am

that's very old south jilli was our pediatrician in MS

1:42 am

They're adorable, but tthey're also real spaniels, real dogs, not just toys

1:43 am

exactly, jilli. Even though it is officially a toy breed, they don't have the character of one.

1:43 am

We have two pavement specials - my daughter's dog is cross border collie, wire-haired terrier, and we suspect dalmatian too

1:43 am

yes Andree

1:43 am

one of our very best dogs was a Springer Spaniel named Winston

1:43 am

A lot of Old South is very Old Brit, I've found, west

1:43 am

Springers are wonderful too

1:43 am

My dog is Jack Russel and something timid

1:44 am

nice combination Kathi

1:44 am

oh yes jilli

1:44 am

cockers are the best :P

1:44 am

yes...Precious' breeder's daughter had a miniChihuahua and they took her camping on a July 4th holiday..for whatever reason, she had her off a lead holding her, and when the fireworks went off, she flipped, and ran away - never to be seen again...

1:44 am

but be honest, jilli, nobody can be expected to know the pronunciation from that spelling.

1:44 am

sprite> He's no oil painting, but he's devoted and very clever

1:44 am

as long as s/he's not a fear biter, Kath

1:44 am

our friend Jemima has a half border collie/half huskie

1:44 am

just as brilliant, Ata ;)

1:45 am

of course not, sprite, that's the secret, lol

1:45 am

jilli> My daughter's dog will nip, usually if a stranger gets between him and us ... my little one will more likely wet herself or smile at the intruder

1:45 am

St. John is sinjin isn't it?

1:45 am

Golden Retreivers are the Cat's Meow

1:45 am

and sprite, nobody can know the spelling from the pronunciation either.

1:45 am

looks are not that important, Kathi. I think we always fall in love with our ow* dog, when the temperament is right for us.

1:46 am

Hobbit is Mine. she is My Dog

1:46 am

west> that sounds like a good-looking cross .. with brains

1:46 am

hey, I knew that one, west!

1:46 am

i've had a springers and cockers, spaniels make beautiful pets especially around children

1:46 am

lol jilli, absolutely right!

1:46 am

our Chelsea was a golden ruru the sweetest dog on the planet

1:46 am

I must bid you all adieu.....take care, be well

1:46 am

yes, that's sinjin, west

1:46 am

what does that saying mean, ruru?

1:46 am

bye just

1:46 am

bye 1Mar, take care too *hugs*

1:46 am

adios amigo take care just1 see you next time

1:46 am

he's a beautiful dog kath but he keeps them running

1:47 am

Andree> Really? The kennels don't place spaniels with families that have small children, their temperament is not the best

1:47 am

It means "the best" sprite

1:47 am

yes, Ata, Hobbit is Your Dog, lucky both of you.

1:47 am

I agree with Andree

1:47 am

good night just have a great rest

1:47 am

thanks ruru :)

1:47 am

night lore

1:47 am

ruru> Yes, Retreivers and Labradors .. fabulous animals

1:47 am

so do I, spaniels are great with kids.

1:47 am

Retrievers?

1:48 am

... looks wrong either way,lol

1:48 am

night, 1mar -- will email

1:48 am

gn lore are you leaving or just going to the grid?

1:48 am

the second one kath i before e lol

1:48 am

back in a bit

1:48 am

my springer did not like very young children very much and when he had had enough he used to go behind the outdoor bar and sleep till my grandchilden left

1:48 am

lol, lobo just said bye to 1Mar.

1:49 am

Interesting ... I guess if you have them from puppies, they get used to them. My friend's spaniel is such a snob she looks down her nose at our mixed-breeds, lol

1:49 am

no was saying goodnight to just1 west snap sprite

1:49 am

we got Winston when he was 4 and he loved our kids and they loved him

1:49 am

all dogs should be made to get used to children during the socialisation period.

1:49 am

spaniels can be utter snobs, especially showy ones

1:49 am

ok stuck at 143...think i've calmed down enuff that I can get some sleep! nighty night all :)

1:49 am

west> ja, that's what I thought ... and I'm supposed to be good at English! *sigh*

1:49 am

:) lobo

1:49 am

good lore thought everyone was deserting

1:49 am

I have golden cocker spaniel - not patient with small kids and does growl if they push their luck

1:50 am

sleep well Kaz see you next time

1:50 am

all dogs are great, i have never had a dog i have not adored except a beagle once...

1:50 am

night Kazozz, don't know from what you had to calm down, but I hope you will sleep very well.

1:50 am

golden cockers are notoriously grumpy :P

1:50 am

sprite> I had a friend who did training with Alsatians - part of the work was that after attack work they were put in an enclosure with children, for socialising

1:50 am

lol Ata

1:51 am

lol @ Andree ... beagles have to be the dumbest dogs I've come across

1:51 am

certainly the most destructive

1:51 am

I'm really a cat person, but I love our pooches

1:51 am

Must agree Andree have loved all my dogs and have never kept to only one breed so over 40 years have had all types

1:51 am

When I was a teenager, friends of mine had a beagle. She was the most cranky, illtempered dog I ever met, lol.

1:52 am

had to think for a minute what an Alsatian is we call them German Shepherds

1:52 am

and talk about leap tall buildings with a single bound!!!

1:52 am

Sprite remind you of anyone! lol

1:52 am

we call them Duitse Herders :)

1:52 am

I hope you are not including Charlie Brown's Snoopy lol

1:52 am

roflol lobo :D

1:52 am

My daughter has worked at a rescue centre, as well as for various dog breeders ... I've never met a rescue dog I didn't want to take home!

1:53 am

we can call mrs beagle now huh!!!

1:53 am

it is definitely fitting, lobo, grinnnn :)

1:53 am

owwooooooooooooooooooooo

1:53 am

west> Ah of course .. but Snoopy is different - more brains than all the brats put together!

1:53 am

hey, snoopy rocks.

1:53 am

they have such wonderful temperment don't they Kath?

1:54 am

want a treat ruru?

1:54 am

ruru what you stub your toe??

1:54 am

ruru, why are you whining? Do I need to walk you or were you just craving attention?

1:54 am

want chocolate

1:54 am

west> What type are we onto now? (I'm getting lost)

1:54 am

whos got choc for ruru??

1:54 am

rescue dogs

1:54 am

that is a sound a beagle makes owoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo oooo

1:54 am

*passes a Lindt Lindor to ruru*

1:54 am

chocolate is bad for dogs, I heard

1:54 am

poisonous

1:54 am

for dogs

1:55 am

no chocolate then

1:55 am

thought you were trying to sound like a morepork they make that sound too

1:55 am

no choc for howlers; toxic

1:55 am

rasins too

1:55 am

and grapes

1:55 am

white choc is ok

1:55 am

west> Oh yes ... my little one is particularly grateful for being rescued .. she lies on my lap and gazes at me for hours - it's quite disconcerting at times, lol

1:55 am

oh, indeed! They don't bark, at least that cranky one didn't. But howled and growled.

1:55 am

white chocolate is for humans first...lol

1:55 am

Ata, really?

1:55 am

white chocolate isn't even chocolate!

1:56 am

yep, cos it doesn't contain chocolate!

1:56 am

Chocolate is banned in our house .. for the dogs, that is

1:56 am

IT is the dark chocolate that is toxic to dogs

1:56 am

where the heck is Kiwi, btw... I got her care package yesterday and it is like a piece of heaven, lol. Soooo delicious.

1:57 am

ruru> Many people give their dogs chocolate, and don't realise they could be killing their pets

1:57 am

ok, I understand. But just to stay on the safe side... I think I best eat all the chocolate myself and don't feed it to our dog.

1:57 am

i think she spent more on postage than pkg

1:57 am

yay Sprite kiwi went to the beachhouse for a week didnt she?

1:57 am

I really don't mind sacrificing to our dog that way.

1:57 am

sprite> Good thinking! :)

1:57 am

oh, too true, lobo. She does come online occasionally, but not as often as at home. Thanks.

1:57 am

true.. we are always careful to not have any around the dogs

1:58 am

wow is everyone on vacation in the SOuth Hemisphere?

1:58 am

it may sound stupid, but we intend to feed our dog only dogstuff.

1:58 am

ruru> I doubt the dogs would have a chance with my daughter and myself .. we're chocoholics

1:58 am

school holidays ruru

1:58 am

nope .. I'm in the southern hemisphere and I'm not on vacation ..I'm unemployed!

1:58 am

*** good thinking sprite****

1:59 am

its school holidays ruru

1:59 am

sprite> That's not stupid, that's correct

1:59 am

I would be a chocoholic too, Kath, but chocolate never stays alive long enough in my fridge to turn me into one.

1:59 am

ruru, I have given mine grapes..seedless..but they love them...must know it makes wine...

1:59 am

sprite> You keep chocolate in the fridge? Whatever for?

1:59 am

Sprite so what did you tuck into first (kiwis parcel)

2:01 am

Kath...I have a chunk oc choc in the fridge waiting for baking...not baking choc either...

2:01 am

actually really bad for them pav.. I wouldn't if I were you

2:01 am

Kath we do too otherwise it would melt

2:01 am

cold "english" kitkats are great [choc diff from us kitkats]

2:01 am

I like it cold, kath :)

2:02 am

lobo: we started with the crunchie bars. Delightful. And then the milkbottle sweets. Those are MINE! I love them. Will taste something else today... probably the mallowpuffs. Kids loved the bars too, hubby as well :)

2:02 am

so is rurus fav type of colony

2:10 am

funny ndan..

2:10 am

ouch, ruru.

2:10 am

but I were speedos in public

2:10 am

My first dog was CH. Quivera's Shadow DanceMaster, aka DIsco...purebred Min. Schnauzer...I had baked a batch of choc chip cookies for work one morning and set them on the dining table to take with me, went in for my shower, and when I came out dressed for work, no cookies...made sure the doors and windows were locked then went looking...thought I had a brain lapse when I spotted Disco laying on the floor coveringthe bag...he had chewed through (cuz he couldn't undo the zip top!) and had eaten every single speck of cookie to be had...I kenneled him up, thinking if he's going to be ill, he'd do it in a contained space, and if he's gonna die, it'll be easier to carry him away to the vet...(I'm terrible, yes?) when I returned home from work, it was as if he hadn't done anything....I had him for 5 yrs before I had to put him down...contracted Valley Fever...microspore that attckes the spinal and nervous system diables horses and dogs...no cures, just expensive meds..back then anyways...

2:10 am

*shocked look at ruru*

2:10 am

yup, if you would build an arc, ruru, it would be flooded with women and there'd be no room for animals...

2:11 am

PAV> Not all dogs are susceptible to the poison in chocolate, but it's a risk you take

2:12 am

don't be shocked kath

2:12 am

poor disco!

2:12 am

that was lucky, PAV.

2:12 am

*searching for a volcano*

2:12 am

Halfway with nbt but no 9's and only 1 8 and saturday morning h****work (dirty word) calls

2:12 am

It is a long running gag between lore, kiwi, and sprite and me

2:12 am

which is why there's a gate in front of my kitchen ..to keep the poopies out where I drop crumbs...

2:12 am

3:00 am

grrrr no assist and no assert.

3:00 am

oooh so close Sprite (last one)

3:01 am

Flask, no slight intended.

3:01 am

Quick hello, just took a peek. Won't be doing this grid, too much to do today. BUT how come no Qs? I can see at least two that even Enfeeble surely accepts!

i was asleep but had not taken my med so i woke up. i took it and am babbling til the sleepies kick in.

3:04 am

And it doesn't say it couldn't find them in it's worthy tome, just that they don't exist in the puzzle. Quid, quins , quine etc.

3:04 am

nice to have your company

3:05 am

liz, they don't. They are Quuid, Quuins, etc.

3:05 am

3:06 am

it's always nice to have all of your company when one can't sleep

3:06 am

Liz - remember the tile is really QU - I fell for that too

3:06 am

makes insomnia a little easier to bear

3:07 am

3:12 am

I was thinking: what did hursh SAY to elicit such a response???

3:12 am

Surfaces for a moment and dives back in!

3:12 am

another milk bottle Sprite

3:13 am

ah, great dolphin dive, mel

3:13 am

goos Mel we were about to call the Coastguard

3:13 am

i thought that too, and then i thought, i did not say anything to elicit it, therefore it must be a clue!

3:13 am

smart thinking, hursh :) Hm, do you think that would help, lobo?

3:13 am

maybe we wont tell anyone ok

3:14 am

3:28 am

the i words are as follows: in 5/14, 6/18, 7/28, 8/40.

3:28 am

pu8 - French for powerful

3:29 am

BBL halftime coffee break

3:29 am

pu6 - first four letters as in pu8, then a French negativity word (two letters)

3:29 am

hi Haz

3:29 am

Good morning - this is a bit of a heads-down type of grid for a while.

3:30 am

Good morning Haz

3:30 am

and ir 5/6

3:30 am

ah, you make it so easy haz

3:30 am

oops. to continue ir5/10, 6/18. Typing is not my best thing to do.

3:31 am

You're welcome - for those who don't have French - pu8 - pu, last three letters of the noise a snake makes, add the picnic pest.

3:31 am

Haz, dunno' why you havta' speak in code so much. Thank heavens for my decoder ring. :p g'd morning

3:31 am

pu6 - pu, two letter verb conjugation of 'to be', first letters of the elephant who packed her trunk (or Dame Melba of operatic fame)

3:32 am

Good morning Lori - hold on to that decoder ring, it comes in useful.

3:33 am

Ahh, so I need not pretend I'd have gotten that on my own then. Roger that.

3:34 am

Ten Four Good Buddy.

3:35 am

Perhaps I'd save myself some thinking if I ask you to clue all 38 7's, 8's and 9's?

3:35 am

a clue please for in5/14 please?

3:36 am

Well, Lori, some babblers would take on that challenge. But I know you're not the spoonfeeding type - so GET THINKING!

3:37 am

But, but, but <-----DENSA

3:37 am

some people they push their luck!! lol

3:37 am

in+an over *** library book

3:37 am

thanx book...

3:38 am

thanks book

3:38 am

yw

3:38 am

DENSA will never get to MENSA if the brain cells aren't exercised. This is called tough love, lori. Be thankful you're not a child of mine. Slappings and gruel were my girls' staple diet.

3:39 am

castor oil too, i suppose

3:39 am

cod liver oil i would assume Haz

3:39 am

Yes ma'am.

3:39 am

Castor oil was too good for them. We used the drained engine oil. We were green before everyone else with this recycling lark.

3:40 am

Speaking of DENSA - have you found a suitable cap yet, Lori?

3:41 am

Not yet haz, one can't hurry these things.

3:41 am

There's one in the grid yonder.

3:42 am

d words: di 4/5 x3, 5/12, 4/5, 7/32, 4/5, 7/32 x2, 9/60. dr5/12, 6/21, 4/5. du 5/16, 4/6 x2.

3:42 am

Sure there is. Rumor mongering again?

3:43 am

Moi? Go sit in the corner for that remark!

3:43 am

earth

3:43 am

oops

3:55 am

haz? rumours? not about *gasp* lickety?

3:56 am

You've heard another rumour about Lickety? I've heard he's being held at Her Majesty's pleasure but some people didn't believe me.

3:56 am

wouldn't surprise me. dodgy, that guy is

3:57 am

G'd morning Ata Hari. I though Lickety had ben taken by aliens.

3:57 am

ooo! maybe! or maybe he was the guy eaten by a croc the other day

3:58 am

Could he be going undercover as a Rolf Harris impersonator?

3:59 am

hmmm ... is he good at singing waltzing matilda?

3:59 am

No, but then neither is Rolf Harris.

4:00 am

Lori - you maybe don't know who Rolf Harris is? Australian, came to Britain, made a fortune out of painting pictures while wearing three legs and playing a didgeridoo.

4:01 am

He blended into Britain seamlessly.

4:01 am

three legs? did I miss that?

4:02 am

I can see why. So, I can give up on that dream, since he's beaten me to it.

4:02 am

Keep up Ata - I'm Jake the Peg with my extra leg. Number 1 for more weeks than I care to remember.

4:02 am

Haz only when he was Jake did he have three legs Rolf is from Bassendean here in Western Australia

4:02 am

before I was born, maybe?

4:02 am

i'm jake the peg diddle diddle dum with and extra leg etc

4:02 am

for sure Ata

4:02 am

hi i'm back again

4:03 am

I knew I'd flush out the Australians.

4:03 am

just making sure you were perfectly correct which you were as usual Haz lol

4:03 am

come on be fair make it a kiwi next time

4:03 am

I can't be responsible for not knowing things that occurred before I was born

4:03 am

you certainly did that haz

4:03 am

I'd never attack Dame Kiri!

4:04 am

had us all singing along

4:04 am

You can't say that, Atalante - the study of history would kind of be negated by that attitude.

4:04 am

theres always Russel Crowe or Sam Neil to start with

4:05 am

Just for the record, I quite like Rolf Harris - not the greatest singer in the world but he was entertaining.

4:05 am

at least I know some Beatles songs

4:05 am

awww not Sam Neill! *loves Sam*

4:06 am

Dont have to be negative can be positive Ata

4:06 am

he has a vineyard

4:07 am

Or Rob Guest he just died actually very nice guy he was in the Phantom of the Opera here at home he was a singer of less status

4:07 am

he sure does and hes a very nice man Ata

4:07 am

Smaller than Rolf Harris or not a good singer?

4:07 am

I would rather talk about Jeremy Irons though

4:08 am

Oh status - I read singer of less stature. I was picturing a vertically challenged Pavarotti.

4:08 am

He was a pop singer in NZ

4:08 am

he always looks like a very nice man. does he sell his wine commercially?

4:08 am

can we talk about colin firth instead lore

4:08 am

Didnt Rolf get knighted for painting the queen?

4:08 am

who? Jeremy Irons? a pop singer? :P

4:09 am

Colin Firth? From New Zealand?

4:09 am

Yes he does Ata his wineyard is in the South Is cant remember exactly where might be Mekenzie country

4:09 am

he painted the queen, not sure thats why he was knighted

4:09 am

No Rob Guest

4:09 am

I don't know that he got knighted for painting the Queen - if anything it would have been for services to entertainment or charity work.

4:10 am

mmmm I want Sam Neill wine

4:10 am

as in mr darcy, that colin firth

4:10 am

of course Haz

4:11 am

Colin Firth hes from Hampshire not NZ

4:11 am

Rolf Harris has not been knighted, he has been given a CBE.

4:11 am

He already had an MBE and an OBE.

4:12 am

Ata did yo know that Sam was actually born in Northern Ireland?

4:13 am

oo!

4:14 am

lore i did not mean he was from NZ i just love him and not into jeremy irons

4:14 am

I didn't know that! Apparently born Omagh, Co Tyrone in 1947, parents returned to NZ in 1954. I wonder if he can still do a Northern Ireland accent? Most actors are rubbish at it.

4:16 am

you love colin firth okay you can have him no i prefer jeremy irons

4:16 am

Is that far from you Haz

4:17 am

It's about 2 counties away - maybe an hour and a half drive

4:18 am

at least we aren't fighting over the same bloke otherwise it could turn ugly

4:18 am

<----------- I've made my choice.

4:19 am

plenty to go around hey andree

4:21 am

ha! husband just tried to tell me that Hobbit is as much his dog as mine. As if!

4:21 am

nice choice haz but you can keep him

4:21 am

men have no idea do they ata

4:22 am

Just humour him, Atalante - you do want him to take Hobbit for a walk, don't you?

4:22 am

absolutely none!

4:22 am

really Ata some people ...... I dont know what because he just walked her! lol

4:22 am

we all know the truth LOL. silly man!

4:25 am

have fun I need to go do some chores back later still 100 to go

4:25 am

can i get a clue for the 1st di7/32 please and thx to whoever gave the stats for the d

4:26 am

bye lore

4:26 am

di7 - the opposite of as6 - to agree

4:26 am

Wait - that may not be right - I'm not using a list.

4:27 am

As if that's news! Something to do with Lickety having been captured by aliens, isn't it?

4:27 am

di 7/32 di+plural+ra4/4

4:27 am

***No, taken by dingoes.***

4:27 am

I think it is di* & ****s and taxes

4:28 am

Any 7's or bigger from that w? If anyone knows please.

4:28 am

pr9, pr9, di9

4:28 am

Told you I was wrong!

4:29 am

ahh, that's good info Ata, thanks!

4:29 am

Could he have been bowled over by a kangaroo? Or could he have taken flight with emus. Oh wait.... do they fly?

4:29 am

thx lynxxx and lore

4:29 am

was he stolen by a dingo?

4:30 am

biggest w i have is a 5

4:30 am

lynxxx - I'm reading over the early morning chat log. The calling is getting to fever pitch, isn't it? I don't think they understand...

4:30 am

Maybe he stole a dingo and that's why he's in prison.

4:30 am

no they are flightless birds

4:30 am

wi6 - superlative adjective.

4:31 am

just after the flip Haz? a tad annoying

4:31 am

So h'es not flown off with emus. We can cross that off the list of possibilities.

4:31 am

the people who amuse me are those who were told yesterday that lickety is away and then come in today going "OMG! no Lickety!"

4:31 am

Have that one Haz, just missing 1. Thanks anyway, skipping past the w....

4:31 am

It's crazy, lynxxx. I'm glad you spoke up but whether it will make any difference is debatable. Some seem to think that it's required to report every word they find.

4:32 am

seems thet what is given freely is not appreciated

4:32 am

Must read chat when i take a break.....

4:32 am

it's appreciated, but now expected

4:32 am

You mean he's not back yet Ata?

4:32 am

omg! *panic*

4:33 am

that was funny lynxx and good you said something, not that it stopped

4:33 am

The whole character of the flip has changed completely - not that I'm around at that time, but I usually look back to see what's been happening.

4:34 am

too silly for me which is why I wandered off - great have the biggies called but ...

4:35 am

MLF calls out every word she finds normally :P

4:35 am

It's turning into a two horse race of unequal weights. Most of those who used to contribute I visualise as standing aghast.

4:36 am

its infuriating and thank goodness i am seldom at flip

4:36 am

I still find it amazing that she can find so many big words immediately, but has to ask for every 4 letter word later

4:37 am

That puzzles me as well. And if she can use morewords for the big words, why not for the smaller ones?

4:37 am

one of life's mysteries. like lickety's whereabouts

4:37 am

I thought flip ettiquette was only calling out big words. I stayed awake for a flip once. That's 2 am here

4:37 am

Yes. Are you sure he's away and this isn't just a big practical joke?

4:38 am

i think he is probably sick of us and has gone for a lobotomy

4:38 am

Alien dingoes. Focus people, focus.

4:38 am

That's the thing about babble etiquette. It's not written down anywhere and it just tended to be absorbed and understood. The new influx has not understood.

4:39 am

or a sex change

4:39 am

lol Atal, I know that look. Sometimes I feel a soft wetness on my nose when I am asleep and when I start & wake I see a similar face an inch away

4:39 am

Alien dingoes. I love it.

4:39 am

The alien dingoes are giving Lickety a sex change?

4:39 am

awwwwww :D isn't it wonderful!

4:40 am

i think you might have hit the nail on the head haz

4:40 am

Is Skippy going to be able to rescue him?

4:40 am

yes, I often wake up to that face

4:41 am

So, is that the official story then? Or can we come up with something unlikely?

4:41 am

sigh ... we're never going to able to live down Skippy

4:41 am

Well, we've already ruled out holiday.

4:42 am

Live down Skippy? What's to live down? Wasn't he responsible for launching Kylie Minogue?

4:42 am

with the grand finals tomorrow maybe he is the eagles secret weapon

4:42 am

and Jason Donovan?

4:42 am

holiday? too obvious

4:43 am

I don't know if Jason Donovan was on Skippy, was he?

4:43 am

Just pointing out the obvious. Reality is never that straight forward.

4:43 am

oh probably

4:43 am

don't think so

4:43 am

I take it the Eagles are a sports team and not the group?

4:44 am

rugby league grand final tomorrow between the manly sea eagles and melbourne storms

4:45 am

I like the sound of the Manly Sea Eagles. They sound... manly. And tough.

4:45 am

or maybe that was a good reason to leave town

4:45 am

go manly

4:45 am

Are they bald too?

4:46 am

no way

4:46 am

Is LIckety bald? Maybe he's getting hair extensions or a hair transplant done.

4:46 am

i suppose lynxxx would say go melbourne

4:47 am

no he his tall and good looking so is mrp

hey & hugggggssssssss y'all

4:47 am

hi nance

4:47 am

Lyn doesn't care really. Only knew Hawks won last week as close friends are strong supporters

4:47 am

Good morning nance - you're here early!

4:47 am

G'd morning nance

4:47 am

hi Nance

4:47 am

maybe he's getting breast implants to look like Jordan

hey lori

hey lynxx

4:48 am

Tall, good looking and missing in action. Poor Lickety. I hope those alien dingoes go gently with him.

4:48 am

good then you won't mind when manly win

4:48 am

Go for it Andree

4:49 am

What are the odds of Lickety's abduction like that, especially since he lives nowhere near a trailer park.

4:49 am

my sons and 3 oldest grandchildren are all in manly jumpers and their cars flying flags etc too funny

4:50 am

I know. It seems unlikely, doesn't it, but then he was maybe en route to the suppose holiday, got too close to the trailer park and voila! In swooped the alien dingoes.

4:50 am

I love the way Lori is rationalising all this

4:50 am

Posters stuck to the windows and flags on the verandah

4:51 am

Reading the National Enquirer in my youth has really paid off.

i have my grandson's over (6 & 3) so i went to bed around 11pm but got up at 5am - now they are all back to sleep, including zane, but me - lol

4:52 am

You'll need a bit of extra rest to cope with the boys later on. I imagine they're lively!

oh, that's a big yeppers

& hey haz

4:54 am

Well now. I hate to say it but I'd better shift myself and get something else done. Treat of the week is ahead of me. Grocery shopping.

4:54 am

not *gasp* Tesco? You may find Lickety there

4:55 am

or do you have somewhere else that isn't tesco?

4:55 am

ha ha ha ha shopping! Yuk. Have fun Haz.

4:55 am

I have not set foot in that store! I'm going to Sainsburys where they appreciate me and my money.

4:55 am

Not that I hold grudges or anything.

4:55 am

bye haz

4:56 am

good! I wasn't sure whether you'd had to give in or whether you had elsewhere to go!

4:56 am

See you later! (did I tell you I saw a branch of that store in Krakow? I felt sick at the sight) Byeee!

4:56 am

Bye Haz

4:56 am

Atalante - I'm from Northern Ireland - we have loooong memories. *gone*

4:56 am

noooooooo! no lickety and now no haz!

4:57 am

Not likin' that 'a' at all...

4:57 am

I hope bat boy doesn't hang out near Haz. that could spell a-b-d-u-c-t-i-o-n

4:57 am

what A

4:58 am

Lynx, I forgot. No a in this grid after all.

5:29 am

Good morning everyone.

5:30 am

Sprite we meet at last:)

hey & bye elder

5:30 am

huggypoos

5:31 am

bye nance

5:31 am

hi Elder!

5:32 am

any hints for the nineletter words perhaps?

5:32 am

Sprite.. am doing ok. Sore. Going to try some house work later to see if can manipulate the body without pain.

5:33 am

2 pr8.45 and their mates pr9.60

5:33 am

good idea, elder, as long as you take it slow and easy :)

5:33 am

lynxx. Hello:)

5:33 am

and di9 he who doesn't agree

5:33 am

G'd morning elder! How'd you make out the other day, is all well now?

5:33 am

Sprite I will and it is required am nearly ankle deep in mess. lol

5:34 am

di9.60 grows from di7.32 (the 3rd)\

5:34 am

better ankle deep in mess than flat on your back because of overdoing things.

5:34 am

Sprite's spot on - take it real easy Elder

5:34 am

Hello LoriP, surprisingly ok. A bit sore but to be expected the next move is too... move around more.

5:34 am

thx sprite & lynxxx

5:35 am

yw

5:35 am

You take care my love, and be sensible, not too little, not too much. ***gentlest of hugs***

5:35 am

enter

5:36 am

Thank you girls:)

5:36 am

sorrY! ***

5:36 am

and Murani to the penalty box :)

5:38 am

Sprite, your on form this morning, policing the gang. I had better be on my best behaviour. Watch out LoriP. LOL

5:38 am

I always keep a special eye on Lori. She is trouble, that one.

5:39 am

lol...

5:39 am

You say trouble, like that's a bad thing.

5:39 am

I thought I said special, not bad

5:39 am

I'm sitting right here in the pb now - red ears and all ;-D

5:40 am

LoriP :)

5:40 am

good Murani :) Don't forget to check the fridge and cupboards, lots of goodies in the pb.

5:41 am

Hello Murani. I don't think we have met before. Welcome to the half crazed world of Babble.

5:41 am

that, of course, would be the other half of Babble.

5:41 am

only half crazed?

5:42 am

Sprite..got your mail and will be replying soon.

5:42 am

I think elder is in denial, Ata. But I am not, of course.

5:42 am

Thx elder - yeah half crazed is the right word! we have theis kind of site in Danish also and it's absolutely addictive

5:42 am

no hurry, elder, it will keep.

5:42 am

I am not addicted.

5:43 am

Don't forget to tip the cabana boys

5:43 am

they always tip me, Lori...

5:44 am

I say, half crazed as I did not want to focus too much on the insanity of some Babblers ( umm. that may be me)

5:45 am

I love the crazy ones.

5:45 am

I sit here and words are not jumping out, this is not good given the total.

5:45 am

Sprite.... :)

5:47 am

Never mind I have 3 blank tiles already. So all is not lost.

5:47 am

so far it has been a nice grid, interesting without being too tough.

5:47 am

200 down - good enough for tonite - but only haf of those As!. Goodnite all, have fun

5:47 am

night lyn, sleep well

5:48 am

Brilliant Lynxx.. sleep well.

5:48 am

Sleep tight Lynx

5:49 am

Sprite.. is that the true or are you telling porky pies :)

5:49 am

honest truth, elder :)

5:50 am

Ok, I will soldier on.. :)

5:50 am

how many do you have left, sprite?

5:50 am

40, Ata

5:50 am

hmm!

5:51 am

hmmm ok... what does that hmm mean?

5:51 am

OMG I greyed the top r. I'm a pseudo genius!

5:51 am

yay Lori!

5:51 am

Humming is what you do when you don't know the words. Silly. :p

5:52 am

wow! LoriP.. all that training in DENSA has proven to be a god send.

5:52 am

but that would be hmm... not hmm!

5:52 am

they were the evil re's no less. One of my many achilles heel-ses

5:53 am

Ata abuses the exclamation mark. it's common knowledge.

5:53 am

I blame Haz

5:53 am

something I have been accused of as well. Not a crime in my eyes :D

5:53 am

No respect for punctuation etiquette

5:54 am

Crikey.. what have taken Sprite , or perhaps not taken:)

5:54 am

but I respect Ata

5:54 am

I hate it when people do that !!??!! So i never indulge.

5:54 am

LOl .

5:54 am

LOL!

5:54 am

GM all

5:54 am

Hi everyone - can someone tell me how many words today

5:55 am

G'd morning chickie!??!!! Buzzy

5:55 am

a mere 283

5:55 am

Hello Chick.

5:55 am

283 painful words

5:55 am

hi chickiehodagpj!

5:56 am

thanks sprite. wow - I dont like these big ones

5:56 am

yw Buzzy, I do :)

5:56 am

hi ya lori,buzzy,elder and sprite,how is every on?

5:56 am

Hi chicke

5:57 am

Chick, fine and yourself?.

5:57 am

just back from shopping with the kids, they needed shoes and a back pack. So very sore, but I still have some energy left :)

5:57 am

Sprite, You must be a sucker for punishment!

5:57 am

all of my names,I feel like a 3in 1 pasta..:>)

5:58 am

usually not, Buzzy, but with Babble... welll... ;)

5:58 am

lol chickie, tasty!

5:58 am

That's one of the problems of having children, it is not enough to love and feed them they expect to be clothed.

5:59 am

exactly elder! Finally someone who understands.

5:59 am

:)

5:59 am

I think I'll stay with chickie lol

6:00 am

i doubt there's 24 a's, but i can verify there are 17 now.

6:00 am

pjchichokiedag

6:01 am

I have all As, Lori, so you can relax.

6:02 am

can't they make their own clothes, elder?

6:04 am

Feed them?

6:04 am

hi herin

6:04 am

Ata, you would think so, would you not. Parents are too lax nowadays.

6:04 am

hi lady

6:04 am

what did the carpenter call his brass quintet?

6:05 am

the tuba four

HOw goes it

6:05 am

lol. Hi BabbleRabble, good to see you.

6:05 am

heh heh heh g'd morning BR, your fettle continues to be fine.

6:05 am

hey Lady :)

6:05 am

Oooh, okay, 19 a's with an easy 8, but that's my final offer.

6:05 am

I don't get that one ...

6:06 am

hi bab rab

6:06 am

From an early age they should learn to sow and cook. To go out to work as soon as possible to aid the family budget.

6:06 am

2X4

6:06 am

hello Herin and Babble.

6:06 am

absolutely

6:07 am

it isn't, elder. You always say that, but it is never true.

6:07 am

Lorip.. would like to help out but I have 6 a's lol.

6:08 am

Hello all, and Elder, I agree with you. From what I observe in my office I fear for the future of our world. So many kids are not being taught the life skills they need--too many wimpy parents.

6:08 am

Sprite. Quite.:)

6:08 am

but some kids do, Scrabbler. Hi :)

And a smacked bottom never hurt anyone

6:08 am

Hello Scrabbs.

6:08 am

Herin .. ouch!

6:09 am

G'd morning Scrabbler.

What. Never hurt me

6:09 am

Yes, Sprite, and I praise those parents tremendously for being repsonsible. But there are so many kids that I want to adopt.

6:09 am

Sprite--are you and your family recovering from the evil virus?

6:10 am

too true, Scrabbler. We have had friends of our kids staying over who couldn't do the most basic things.

I worked with a 20 year old that didn't know how to make a clothes washer work

6:10 am

it's more than the parents issues though. it's wanting to learn and be independent and capable

6:11 am

slowly, Scrabbler. I feel much better but still tired, Caya is still very tired and has caught a cold now.

Oh Sprite the poor love

6:11 am

I saw a 1 mo old on Thursday, Mom's 3rd kid and her response to my question, Do you have any concerns about the baby?, was: He is not independent at all, I have to hold him all of the time or else he will cry for an hour when I put him in his crib.

6:11 am

yup, she has the raccoon look back again, and I don't like it.

OMG Scrabbler did you call cdc

6:12 am

who expects a 1 mo old to be independent??

6:12 am

Guten Morgen, Babblers, Herin, may I ask for the clue list? Please

6:13 am

hi inge

inge it isn't up

6:13 am

My children were not angalss by any means of the imagination, but by the time they were adolescents, they could cook, and do laundry, I was so adamant that my son would not expect a woman/ partner to do his chores.

6:13 am

I was speechless and wanted to smack her. But I was calm and reminded her that babies and children are completely dependent on us--what a concept.

6:13 am

OK, I can wait

6:14 am

and then her 3rd child. She should know better by now. You did well, SCrabbler. Lots of self control :)

Good way to go Elder. Scrabbler i would be so concerned about that baby

6:14 am

Guten Morgen Freundin Inge. My high school German teacher, Herr Fies, just died.

6:14 am

gm scrabbler how are you? (hodag)

6:14 am

great things to teach children, elder

6:15 am

I am concerned, and, get this, the baby's father was in the waiting room asleep! Mom didn't even expect/want him in the room.

6:15 am

Did you contribute to his death by wearing him out in class?

6:15 am

Scrabbs I have heard that told to me so many times, and when they a bit older stick them in front of theTV/ Video too keep them quiet. it is a recipe for disaster.

sigh

6:15 am

my son is 12, he can cook quite a few things, he can (but usually doesn't) clean up after himself, he can do the laundry, he can do some chores in the house. And he still looks healthy and happy.

airs

Oh shoot sorry about that

6:16 am

sounds like a weird family, Scrabbler, I understand your concern

6:17 am

I agree with you elder,childre need a one on one attention not a D@# t.v.!!!!

6:17 am

Nope, Inge. We were good students--several of us went through German level V with him. He was a cheerful character. In 12th grade he took us on a tour of Buffalo architectural gems and to lunch at a fancy restaurant.

Inge as soon as there is a list ill send it

6:17 am

Hi chickie--so you are the former hodag?

6:18 am

am sorry for your loss, Scrabbler

6:18 am

Sadly, it is a common thread that I see and hear often. I do not look for perfection because that is not possible but the basic care, love and attention is so desperately needed for so many children. The word contraception comes to mind.

6:18 am

Yes,thats me.......:)

6:18 am

They dont make them that way any more, Scrab

6:19 am

anybody finished the Rs yet

6:19 am

He was a special man and a devoted teacher.

6:19 am

Srabbs. it is sad to hear of the loss of a great teacher, but his memory will continue.

6:19 am

Yes, Elder!

6:19 am

I think it is needed for all children, elder, not just for many. It takes lots of time and energy to really communicate with your children, but it is so worth it.

6:19 am

Hello Inge.

6:20 am

need one more, roncook

6:20 am

My furnace went on last night (first time this season) and my nose is going crazy with allergy symtpoms--the furnace sends out so much dust initially.

6:21 am

oh Scrabbler, I have the same thing with the central heating. I hope it will pass soon for you.

6:21 am

sprite l have 20 ra,21re 10 ri,what is missing

6:21 am

Sprite. yes for all children, but I was referring to the children and families, I see when I am working.

6:21 am

I have 22 ra

6:22 am

and 25 x re, I believe

6:22 am

Today is going to be a special kayaking adventure---we are going across the border into Canada to Niagara-on-the-Lake--a quaint village on Lake Ontario. It is my first trip there.

6:22 am

raine

6:22 am

sorry wrong box ! again!!

6:23 am

and 11 x ri

6:23 am

good morning everyone - house is cold this morning, but I'm not turning on the heat, just pulled out some sweaters

6:23 am

that are all the Rs, I finished them

6:23 am

hi JBV

6:23 am

kayaking? I"m shivering just thinking about it, scrabs

6:23 am

GM J it is cold!!!!

6:24 am

sounds lovely, Scrabbler

6:24 am

Ron the rules of the game are thus, if you are going to place words in the grid , they have to be correct.:)

6:24 am

hello JBV.

6:24 am

JBV, I always delay the furnace turn-on until as late as possible, but it is 40 F outside and my thermostat is set for 63. My sister and nephew are spending the weekend and I don't want them to be icicles.

6:24 am

sprite any chance of a list !

6:24 am

hi, elder, sprite, scrabbler, chickie, ron

6:24 am

I have 13 words left, roncook. I will post a list on BabAnon after I have finished, ok?

6:25 am

sprite ta

6:25 am

Scrabbs, sounds exciting and scary but so much fun. Enjoy.

6:25 am

Greyed all the h's. woot. G'd morning all i missed, mornin' hodag. :)

6:25 am

I totally understand - as soon as hubby wakes up he will be heading straight for the thermostat to turn on the heat, but this year maybe I have a chance to convince him to conserve, based on projected heating bills

6:25 am

well done Lori

6:26 am

Sprite, I will thank you in advance.:)

6:26 am

lol, my pleasure

6:26 am

hi ya lori,hoe goes it?

6:27 am

It goes. :) Hope life's being kind to ya'. :D

6:28 am

herin, didn't think my ankle would stand up to all the walking around the track, so came home after all 14,000 bikers left.

6:33 am

6:38 am

well, i've ground to a halt, with 22 to go. * groan *

6:38 am

I obsessed on the a for a tad too long Nono.

6:38 am

good job granny! Go go go!

6:38 am

to be oh so close, it's enough to send you nuts.

haven't really obsessed on anything yet

6:40 am

Go granny go! You can and will do this!

do have the p greyed out at least

6:40 am

gah, silverclaw insists on being fussed

6:40 am

at what cost, scrabs?

6:41 am

Taking a break. happy hunting to you all. LoriP you will be finished by the time I return. So in anticipation of this achievement Congratultions!

6:41 am

Well, granny, if you do not finish that will cost you, lol.

6:42 am

Later elder, no worries, this'll take me all day....

6:42 am

Is tere a list today anywhere?

6:42 am

Bye ..

6:42 am

there

6:42 am

Sprite is working on a list.

6:42 am

by the way, guys and gals. wish you could all see myself and MM. we have coloured our hair bright pink, in supportof my beautiful girlfriend. she has just been diagnosed with breast cancer for the second time in 8 years. she started chemo yesterday.

6:43 am

ok cool

6:43 am

brake time see you all later.......lol

6:43 am

not sure if I even want to start this one

6:43 am

Oh, dear, prayers of strength and healing for her, granny!

6:43 am

Good things from my home to her granny.

6:44 am

lol and prays rose!!!!!!!!

6:45 am

my spelling is tired!!

6:45 am

thanx scrabs. the dr's told her she has anything between 9 months ( without chemo ) and 4-5 years with chemo. as she has two adorable girls ages 10 and 12, she has taken the hard choice of having the chemo.

6:45 am

That is what she must do--her girls need her!!

6:47 am

i know scrabs, but she can be very wilful at times, she refused her second course of chemo 8 years ago, it broke my heart when she did. her initial diagnosis was stage 4 cancer, and i know you can't just walk away from that!

6:47 am

My friend with brain cancer is struggling---is so debilitated from chemo that she must stop chemo and get rehab for 4-6 wks in the hospital. She is distraught and wants to be with her kids (8, 4, almost 1). It is heartwrenching.

6:48 am

oh, dear lord, scrabs, prayers for healing and restoration coming here way

6:49 am

She is suffering so much and is crying so much.

6:50 am

list posted

6:50 am

I pray that she receives comfort from God, to know that she, her husband and the kids will all be OK.

6:50 am

ta sprite

6:51 am

scrabs, I'm so sorry. She is so fortunate to have you for a friend.

6:51 am

i know, my friend cried for days, because of the choices the dr's gave her.it's so hard to watch a beloved friend go through this, isn't it?

6:51 am

TY Sprite!

6:51 am

and thank-you spritey

6:51 am

how terrible, Scrabs and rose. :(

6:52 am

I am doing whatever I can to help, but I feel so helpless to comfort her. How do you help someone face their death when they also have to say good-bye to their husband and 3 little kids? It is unbearably sad.

6:52 am

your being there for them is the best comfort you can offer, I think, Scrabber.

6:52 am

And I don't want to say good-bye to her either--she is a sweet, loving person and incredible mother to her kids.

6:54 am

Geez, we are bringing everyone down, Granny.

6:55 am

it is a sad thing, Scrabbler, but good to share it, right?

6:55 am

i agree with sprite, scrabs. back up her family as much as you can, in any way you can, me, i've organised a roster, so that my friend and her family have a home-cooked meal everynight.this means her hubby doesn't have to think about meals, and other parents form the school have organised the girls' lunches.

6:55 am

Yes, I do need to talk about it because I have been so sad.

6:56 am

scrabs email me anytime, address in my profile.

6:56 am

There is a whole team helping mary and her family. People have been bringing dinners since this started 10/9/07.

6:56 am

TY, rose!!

6:57 am

it is terrible to feel so helpless. But the things you do are making a real difference, I know they do, Scrabs and rose.

6:57 am

morning all... scrabs, my heart goes out to you and your friend

6:57 am

Hi monkey!

6:58 am

7:11 am

7:11 am

9:02 am

i am such a lousy texan - LOL

9:03 am

not neccessarily....i don't know everything about where i live. life would be boring if we knew everyhting!

9:05 am

especially how to type....lol

9:06 am

hi, I'm back to finish.

9:07 am

i suck at typing... however, that hatred of typing probably pushed me into careers where i would not have to do that for a living... maybe it was a good thing : )

9:08 am

wb angel

9:08 am

once again I'm amazed at the random French words thrown into the grid . . . just found pu8!

9:08 am

i went into a career where i didn't have to type, found typing boring

9:09 am

clue une?

9:09 am

french for "powerful"

9:09 am

ne 8 is interesting ..... the definition within the definition: a person whose occupation is tending and herding cows.

9:09 am

hi une

9:09 am

the bad thing, though, is that now every career depends on computer skills... the last laugh is on us, lill!

9:09 am

hey, lilliann :-)

9:09 am

and thanks to all for the great clues I just grabbed from the chat!

9:10 am

true kje.

9:11 am

TY une - found it

9:11 am

and i'm not good with computors

9:11 am

yw :-)

9:11 am

how are you today une?

9:12 am

i'm OK, thanks! :-)

9:12 am

glad to hear it

9:13 am

When is a car not a car?

9:13 am

thanks for the ne8, new word for me

9:13 am

tired but a "good" tired--have been working my way through my mom's very large attice

9:13 am

thinking br

9:13 am

don't know BR

9:13 am

*attic

9:13 am

When it turns into a parking lot.

9:13 am

hi peri

9:13 am

don't know

9:14 am

ouch!

9:14 am

aaahhhh - been there... rush hour

9:14 am

ooh, did you find any treasures?

9:14 am

BR, it's been nice seeing you around the last few days :-)

9:14 am

yes!! scrapbooks and photo albums I didn't know existed!

9:16 am

thats why it takes so long to clear attics and rooms as we always find something to look at and reminice( i know it's spelt wrong, brain gone to sleep)

9:16 am

I put some of my most prized "joles" on my family's site and the sibs voted to ban me by acclimation

9:18 am

they obviously have no taste then BR

9:18 am

reminisce, yes, but also, esp. for me, photos that take me into a new world--had never seen pix of my parents as newlyweds in their first apt . . . or pix of my dad with his flight buddies during WWII . . . etc.

9:18 am

already had Daddy's flight jacket but yesterday I found the cap that goes with it!

9:19 am

help with un8 please

9:19 am

i typed it like that at first une but didn't think it looked right....oh great, i love things to do with the war

9:19 am

G'd morning again Babblers. Back for a look at my last 60, i hope.

9:19 am

peri, most un6/33

9:20 am

hi Lori

9:20 am

don't have the un6, will look

9:20 am

hey, lori

9:20 am

hi lori

9:20 am

un6 - not smart

9:20 am

got it, thanks Une

9:20 am

how wonderful, Uneaixoise

9:20 am

thanks kje, too

9:20 am

did he come to england une in the war?

9:21 am

bbs

9:21 am

Lilliann, one of my uncles fought in the Battle of the Bulge and would have had such interesting stories to tell us but he refused to talk about his years of service . . .

9:21 am

hello, Lori .... the words almost jump onto the word list

9:21 am

no, lillian, he was flight instructor . . . my uncle was in Belgium and my grandfather fought in France in WWI, tho

9:22 am

Hello Lori - fancy seeing us back again!

9:22 am

It's flowed pretty well so far BR, loosely speaking, we'll see how this goes....

9:22 am

what a shame, but alot of the servicemen were like that...i suppose they wanted to forget about alot of things

9:22 am

Except for the a, that's been painful.

9:22 am

I think you're right . . .

9:22 am

Hey Haz, are you done yet? Hope ya' enjoyed shopping. heh heh heh

9:23 am

talking often brings flashbacks of comrades injured or lost

9:23 am

Oh I loved every minute of it. Especially putting it away. It's the best. Still it's done, though the grid isn't.

9:24 am

I know, BR . . . for instance, I had a Jewish friend when I was living in France whose mother was in a concentration camp as a teenager . . . she never would say a word about her experiences

9:24 am

Yes, more fun that beating clothes on a rock when the washer breaks.

9:24 am

i worked with old sailors years ago and some of them spoke about the war but others didn't like to...some very funny stories and some extremely sad ones, makes me humble and very thankful to think of what men a nd women did for us in the wars so we have the life to day

9:24 am

Hi all....clue please for ra7/28 please?

9:25 am

so true, Lilliann

9:25 am

For those who are willing to speak of their experiences, there are a series of books entitled 'Forgotten voices' - I've read Forgotten Voices of First World War and more recently 'Forgotten voices of the Holocaust'.

9:25 am

hi flaskkkk, don't have that one yet hin

9:26 am

you put a p in front of some a's and you have a black cat

9:26 am

Haz, StoryCorps was here at our downtown library for a year and they were able to record many stories for the Library of Congress

9:26 am

my grandfather was in Germany during WW2, and he never spoke of it - until he was dying, when he would speak in German completely subconsciously. Shows how deeply ingrained the memories still were

9:26 am

ata, that's amazing

9:26 am

some of the poetry from the wars is so compelling

9:27 am

thanks haz, will get those. i've read loads of stories of servicemen and woman, soe agents, pows and about the holocaust

9:27 am

are there any un clues?

9:27 am

I think it's wonderful that some are willing and able to share their stories, but I understand those for whom the only option is to try not to think of their experiences.

9:27 am

BR, I can only imagine . . .

9:27 am

babrab was that a clue for me??

9:27 am

The Forgotten Voices series is powerful because you can follow individuals through their experiences. Talk about humbling!

9:28 am

unspokne, unmailed, unsmart/smarter/smartest

9:28 am

ra 7 us a pl

9:28 am

un6, 7, and 8 relate to not being smart

9:28 am

UN + smart

9:28 am

tx, Haz, I'll check into that

9:28 am

sent

9:28 am

CARP! So sorry

9:29 am

so it is....thanks for that!

9:29 am

They're very worthwhile, Une - difficult to read at times.

9:30 am

for anyone who's interested, here's their website: http://www.forgottenvoices.co.uk

9:30 am

sprite did a word list in babblers anon

9:30 am

Thanks Une - I'll check it out.

9:30 am

thanks une

9:32 am

I cannot imagine what is going through the minds of a soldier who participated in the charge of the light brigade or a civil war charge of ww i trench warfare

9:32 am

thanks une, i'll go on the library site later and see if i can order them

9:33 am

I know, Babble - but did they realise that they were taking part in history? I don't think you would have time to think beyond what you have to do to survive.

9:33 am

hmmm, not available from our huge downtown library . . . and only a couple of titles available from Amazon (USA) . . .

9:34 am

I expect they knew there was a good chance of dying

9:34 am

Which ones are available, Une?

9:34 am

BR did you see Ken Burns' documentary on the Civil War . . . simply horrendous conditions . . . just unimaginable

9:34 am

I would think so - and yet, you obey orders.

9:35 am

haz, WWI and WWII . . . and only hardback, not audiobooks

9:35 am

Hi Babblers! Nice to see you, BR.. been a while

9:35 am

war changes people forever and families too

9:35 am

hey, aloy!

9:35 am

hi aloy

9:35 am

There's a really interesting book called Tolkien and the Great War - all about Tolkien's experiences in the war, it's heartbreaking

9:35 am

pax

9:36 am

I could certainly recommend the Great War one - haven't read the WW2 as yet. The one on the Holocaust has haunted me - strangely it had more effect on me than a visit to Aushwitz.

9:36 am

(-: vobiscum

9:36 am

Hello Aloy.

9:36 am

i take it back--Amazon has a boxed set of the WWII audiobook

9:36 am

Love Amazon.com

9:37 am

i read edith cavells story the other week, she was a brave lady but didn't think of herself that way, she was just trying to save lives

9:37 am

a female soldier deployed to iraq has a greater chance of being assaulted by a fellow soldier than killed by enemy fire and more terrible is often redeployed with the same soldier that assaulted her

9:38 am

Will I get in trouble by being uncomfortable about women being on the front line like that?

9:38 am

I am too, Haz, and have been yelled about having that opinion a lot!

9:38 am

missing a 9......have pr9 x 2......assistance plz

9:38 am

Haz, I had the same experience when I visit Dachau . . . I guess physically it's changed so much . . . reading about it, for me, is much more moving (and horrifying)

9:39 am

*visited

9:39 am

Oh well, Atalante - that's the glory of democracy, you can have different opinions.

9:39 am

I still have the opinion though :P

9:39 am

i wouldn't yellat anybody about having their opinion but i suppose the women want to be treated like the men so do all the jobs they do

9:40 am

That's interesting, Une. I nearly felt guilty for not being more emotional when visiting Auschwitz - perhaps it has to do with the place being changed. It just seemed and seems unimaginable that such horror could exist.

9:41 am

160,000 women have been deployed ..... the stress of war is compounded by the threat of assault ... some take weapons with them to shower

9:41 am

That's horrendous Babble.

9:41 am

Haz, I felt exactly the same way--expected to be much more emotional--

9:41 am

has anyone been to orador sur glane in france?

9:42 am

wn where the germans killed all the people who lived there

9:42 am

Clue for an I from the middle, please?

9:42 am

it missed half my sentence out...it was a town

9:42 am

I haven't, liliann.

9:42 am

9:44 am

9:44 am

there were 2 survivors, a young man and a young boy

9:44 am

War is not healthy for children and other living things

9:44 am

9:45 am

9:47 am

9:47 am

don't have it flask, sorry

9:47 am

ok hen!

9:47 am

my last ra6 is newsman Dan Ra****

9:48 am

oops, but it's ra6/21 not ra6/18

9:48 am

di 7 same first 3 and posterior place

9:48 am

Haz do you have it?

9:48 am

I just found something neat. I copied the word list from BA to a notepad document so I could have it at hand without needing my browser. I wanted to keep the notepad document on top of Babble Expert, so I found a software called "Keepontop." works quite well.

9:48 am

my ra6's have to do with lifting

9:48 am

angel to the PB!

9:49 am

Sorry Flask, I don't think so.

9:49 am

one of the ra6 is a plural of the people who set the current interest ra**

9:49 am

the last ra 6 has been clued

9:49 am

and ra6/18 one who yells angrily

9:50 am

only have one pr 9 (teach beforehand) -- the other?

9:50 am

the one before it is a plural

9:50 am

the one before that is the superlative for something infrequently seen

9:51 am

The other pr9 has to do with laundry preparation.

9:51 am

the one before that is one who engages in a tirade

9:51 am

now have ra6 x 6

9:51 am

Thanks all, that di 7 was my last d.

9:52 am

9:55 am

I know, Dorens, it's hard to compete with <-------, isn't it? We'll not let anyone else know.

10:34 am

hello all

10:34 am

hi p2

10:34 am

Hello praise.

10:34 am

hi praise

10:34 am

can someone tell me an easier way to copy and paste the list from Babbler's Anonymous?

10:35 am

ty for keepng the secret haz. that really is, though, the most amazing pic of him, and he never looks bad anyway

10:35 am

someone told me how one time but I have forgotten

10:36 am

hi p2h, sorry, no idea

10:36 am

me neither, sorry

10:36 am

I know, Dorens. He's here to keep up morale.

10:36 am

haha, he does that indeed!

10:37 am

he's needed

10:37 am

though Spnagle is good for morale too

10:37 am

oh yes, just not quite the same

10:38 am

praise - if you highlight the whole list, then click Copy. Once you have your Word page up, Click paste and it (hopefully) should appear.

10:38 am

silverclaw is quite handsome as well

10:38 am

(Is it right-click copy?)

10:39 am

i have a mac.. no right clicks

10:39 am

hi, everyone - do you know if anyone posted the list to their profile, as Jacula did yesterday? I find it easier to copy - bab anon only lets me highlight a group of words at a time

10:40 am

I don't know, JBV.

10:40 am

no idea... going listless for as long as possible

10:41 am

if you put your cursor on the bottom tool bar jbv, it carries on for you

10:43 am

i found out the hard way flosey

10:44 am

i'm not very good with computors

10:44 am

just tried the cursor on the tool bar with no luck, I must be doing something wrong

10:45 am

i just scrolled down and had it on the bottom toolbar and it kept on going jbv, the lower i went the quicker it highlighted it

10:45 am

hmm, your computer must be smarter than mine :)

10:45 am

Dorens, control + click is a right click on mac

1:54 pm

did fm teach you?

1:55 pm

It was clued, Shirlockc. not perfectly, but it was clued.

1:55 pm

No, I've always known it. Don't forget I'm old enough to remember Wiliam Hartnell.

1:55 pm

Afternoon, cats and kittens. Color me stupid. I was attempting to monkey Q words. Off to a blazing start!

1:55 pm

don't tell me you've actually *watched* it?

1:56 pm

From behind a settee as a child, Ata.

atalante, if you continue to diss my fave tv show i shall have to ask you to step outside!! 8-)

1:56 pm

howdee judi

1:56 pm

what??! you're talking to someone who worships Dr Who here!

1:56 pm

o! got the sa6! thx

1:57 pm

I think I've always known it. I just couldn't relate to it at all. Give me a history book instead.

1:57 pm

judi - I was getting pissed b/c enable wouldn't take my Q qords... then I remembered the tile is a qu... not just a q

1:57 pm

BDG gets to the PB for her di4 disgrace.

1:57 pm

words

1:57 pm

hmmmm. what about episodes of dr who etc when they go into the past and be historical?

oh, sorry, ata, i misinterpreted your shock that someone watched it

and oops!

1:58 pm

Well, to be honest I haven't watched it for years. Years and years.

1:58 pm

I just met David Tennant, BDG! so there :P *giggles*

1:58 pm

That I knew, kje. Nevertheless, there are no Q or Qu words in today's grid.

yeap -- plenty of histoy on DW

1:58 pm

She's shocked that I should know anything about it, BDG because I normally show such a lack of knowledge about such things.

you lucky thing!

1:58 pm

clue for the last in please?

1:59 pm

haz is normally utterly clueless about sci-fi and fantasy

1:59 pm

in8 - make the crazy as crazy as can be. Superlatively crazy.

1:59 pm

and I met Gareth David-Lloyd and James Marsters from torchwood recently too :)

1:59 pm

would love some p clues please. have the 8 and 9 but need the rest.

you is making me jealous ata 8-)

1:59 pm

See? The names mean nothing.

2:00 pm

really? *innocent*

i have only one P and it's not even funny

2:00 pm

ty HAZ

wanna clue the 8 and 9, mkg?

2:00 pm

You're welcome Boo.

hey, i found some long Ps, ty

2:02 pm

there are 2 pr9. before washing and before learning

2:02 pm

gwen, pr add vowel for "before" + you can travel by car, or plane or tr***.

(got the clue by osmosis)

2:02 pm

gwen clue the one p you have.

2:03 pm

Those Daleks again?

2:03 pm

you have the p 4 that is plural right gwen? that one isnt even funny.

2:04 pm

daleks aren't funny

i have the pr that has a transportation word in it

2:04 pm

You don't think there's some comedy hidden about them?

2:04 pm

gwen is that the 8 or 9?

2:04 pm

only when they try to go upstairs

2:05 pm

i cant get words from top line of grid............only have first h grey. darn.

2:05 pm

Do they get ramps bult or do they just concentrate on buildings that have been made disabled friendly.

daleks are only funny from the POV that they must look silly on the set when they're making the show. (one director in the early days reportedly aggreed to work on the show as long as he did not ever have to direct those popperpots!)

2:05 pm

would love some clues for the u words please. or the h words on left top of grid please.

2:06 pm

only have one o word and would love clues for the other two. the one i have is a 4 8.

2:06 pm

the new daleks can go upstairs, but you could escape the old version by running up some stairs

un4 = archaic word for strange = un + abbreviation for business firm

the 7th doctor encountered levitating daleks on the show

2:06 pm

ty got the un and business firm.

2:07 pm

i have three un words now. un+ oppp of stupid, plural of it too. would love clues for others.

2:08 pm

2:09 pm

Good evening all :)

2:09 pm

FMitch!

2:10 pm

Fifi!!!

2:10 pm

Has the day been good for you?

2:10 pm

2:11 pm

2:11 pm

Yes I have done <-------- th4 too

2:11 pm

yay fm

2:12 pm

There is no di 6 to clue.

2:12 pm

yup i am 4. i was amazed that the options for age were so limited..............you cant play if you are one hundred years old. so i am 4........cant play if i am three either.

2:12 pm

just emailed you, fm!

2:12 pm

Serves cheesecake all round as way too much for one person

2:12 pm

haz try that one again please must be more than 1 letter diff

oh yum

2:12 pm

haz the clue you gave for di 7 was to change vowel from one before. so please clue what was before. thanks.

2:12 pm

Well done! It's a nice grid. Have you heard that Lickety is away or something?

2:13 pm

anyone want yummy choc chip cake? have lots.

2:13 pm

*tiptoes into chatlog, incognito* hints for the solo-H in the top row?

2:13 pm

LOL - don't start.

2:13 pm

could I have a clue for si7 please?

2:13 pm

NM! got it!

2:13 pm

di7/32 the last - means to disagree, di7/32 before it is the same, save for the penultimate letter. Make it a vowel.

2:13 pm

I'd love a taste but I'm rather full mkg :)

2:14 pm

There is no si7 - highest is si6/30.

2:14 pm

ty vm haz

2:14 pm

sorry, that should have been se7

2:15 pm

se7 - a plural for se6/18 - those who sit you down?

2:15 pm

You're welcome, pugmama.

2:15 pm

cant get the di sevens. sorry............would love more clues.

2:16 pm

storms here now too Haz

2:16 pm

thanks Haz, was working in wrong order!

2:16 pm

If you can't get a word, morewords is always an alternative source.

2:16 pm

think i need a nap

2:16 pm

how many te words are there?

di7 = prefix for opposite + to give something a grade based on how you liked it

2:17 pm

morewords was my saving grace today

2:17 pm

fm - wish we had a storm... a nice stormy evening sounds kind of good

2:17 pm

The funny thing is that it has calmed down here quite a bit, Fmitch. Hopefully it won't be too bad with you.

2:17 pm

8 x te Ata

2:17 pm

8 te words.

2:17 pm

2:17 pm

2:17 pm

Bye flosey

well i have 121 to go, back to the "real" world

2:17 pm

See you flosey.

2:17 pm

88 here

2:18 pm

Two of the te words mirror the structure of the se5 and 6 (think future and conditional endings in French)

2:18 pm

It's messy stormy stuff kje, spatters of rain and strong gusts and cold.

2:18 pm

*faints at FMs praise*

2:18 pm

Bye BDG.

2:19 pm

40 to go & need a break BBL

2:19 pm

sounds perfect fm

2:19 pm

Bye pug.

2:20 pm

The rest of the te words are variations on a theme of seabirds or variations on a theme of speaking in clipped fashion.

2:20 pm

Got some candles flickering away on my desk and a tummy full of cheesecake and coffe so I guess all is well with the world

2:20 pm

How often is she going to mention this cheesecake, Ata? Is she trying to rub things in?

2:21 pm

*Blows out Fms yummy candles**

2:21 pm

: ) FM

2:21 pm

.. well my world anyway. Tomorrow I wokd the calories off *grin*

2:21 pm

2:21 pm

UNI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

2:21 pm

Hoooray! Uniquity! Nice to see you!

2:21 pm

((Uni))

2:21 pm

haz, can you expand on the SE 5/6 words with french endings? i don't know french and need some help...

2:22 pm

Bernice - se plus the start of wet stuff that falls from the sky (se5) and then make it plural.

2:22 pm

just got the di 7. ty for clues.

2:22 pm

thanks haz, that worked for the SE and TEs

2:23 pm

I see no-one relit FM's candles for her...

2:23 pm

need other di 7 though. cant get it. have the one with grading at end. but not other.

2:23 pm

Then, when you get the se5 and 6, make it te as well. but you've got that already.

2:23 pm

Hello again. Hi Uniquity, was only thinking about where you were yesterday

2:23 pm

How are you Uni? What you up to?

2:23 pm

FM would probably be better to have those relighting candles.

2:24 pm

Hi Lynxx! I have been hiding from babble but a slow day at work led me to the temptation...

2:24 pm

Hello lynxxx.

2:24 pm

All paths lead back to babble eventually

2:24 pm

I just found a 'fishy' sa7 by accident.

2:25 pm

change the first letter for another 7

2:25 pm

It's a pity Vicuna hasn't been in. Only yesterday we were debating the merits of storing children in sa7 tins.

2:25 pm

LOL

2:26 pm

TY Ata

2:26 pm

Aha, thanks Ata. I don't know why I bothered...i will only want to finish now.

2:26 pm

Hi lynxxx and woofer

2:26 pm

Take the last three letters from the fishy sa7. Who knew?

2:27 pm

me! got that ages ago :P

2:27 pm

I did!

2:28 pm

take the fishy word and replace the first letter for another 7

2:28 pm

Oh well, I knew superlatively intelligent Ata would know it. And lynxxx. But I'll bet there are some people who didn't know. LIke there are some people who don't know about Lickety and the open prison.

2:28 pm

the alien led open prison

2:28 pm

Guarded by dingoes.

2:29 pm

yep!

2:29 pm

alien dingoes

2:29 pm

*pretends to ignore such silliness*

2:29 pm

You don't think he could be doing a guest spot in 'I'm Lickety, get me out of here'?

2:29 pm

silliness? its true!

2:30 pm

LOL Haz!

2:30 pm

Can anybody check to see if Ant and Dec are still in the country?

2:30 pm

Will it be headline news in The Sunday Sport? I think I mean that newspaper.

2:31 pm

I tell you, I'm hearing that theme music.

2:31 pm

21 left

2:32 pm

Thats just the voices in your head!

2:32 pm

Go Ata!

2:32 pm

Or another thought. Could he and mrp be in the Aussie Big Brother house?

2:33 pm

Haz I will have to smack you. You're getting overexcited.

2:33 pm

Pill popping time?

2:33 pm

I think it's best

2:33 pm

2:35 pm

2:35 pm

Yes it was. We had spoken on the phone and knew what we looked like via photos, but first meeting.

2:36 pm

2:37 pm

No! She had to tootle off to get her train and he didn't leave the conference until later.

2:37 pm

No fraid not

2:38 pm

Yes. If caitlyn gets that prize money on Deal or No Deal, it's Castle Leslie for us!

2:39 pm

ooo did she get through?

2:39 pm

I don't think she's heard yet.

2:39 pm

With the rate you found for your hotel, perhaps we can get a similar one there?

2:40 pm

Pity it's not Who wants to be a Millionaire - we could be her phone a friend and we could flood the audience and cough at certain times.

2:40 pm

Should I shock Ata with what I paid for the hotel?

2:40 pm

LOL, oh that reminds me a bought a lottery tichet today

2:41 pm

Yes go on, tell her

2:41 pm

*waits with bated breath*

3:46 pm

if hubby had been with you more, it might have been different

ok can't figure out the demote clue

3:47 pm

i think it's related to the ra4

kind of, his family is in AZ and my extended family is in NE, but most of our close family is in the NW, so we'll go visit. it'll be easier to visit then, because we won't have a 10 hour or longer flight

3:47 pm

if i have the right one

yeah, jacq--got that one ty

3:49 pm

well, atleast it won't be so far for you to travel as you say and hopefully youu'll get more time with hubby...will he still be in the military?

4:48 pm

I got soooo much grief for my comment...I thought ruru was going to shoot me!

4:48 pm

I thought it was funny!

oh dr4! found it...

4:48 pm

my brother also plays

4:48 pm

but he was not on

4:49 pm

I was being sarcastic, but I guess some Babblers don't know me well enough to know

4:49 pm

I am used to sarcastic so it didn't bother me.. How are you today

4:50 pm

what was the comment?

4:50 pm

we are well...just having some dry toast before deciding what to ea3

4:51 pm

jes...non-pro Babbler Kath came on asking if it was just women playing the game, and I responded (sarcastically) that ONLY women play Babble...those that know know the blue colored people are males and the red females...

4:52 pm

both Ruru and Pav were on

4:53 pm

BBL - still(!) 14 left

4:53 pm

then ruru unhid himself and started a mini-war that fizzled...'cuz I had just exempted him in my followup comment...

4:53 pm

Bye Lynxxx

4:53 pm

ah. but that can't be true, pav, because everyone knows there are no real women on the internet! ;)

4:53 pm

You get the jest of it then Jes :)

4:54 pm

yay! my humor isn't broken today :)

4:54 pm

jes...in defence of those not present..there are quite a few ladies who play Babble...but that was my line of thinkning last night as well...can't win!

4:55 pm

I play Babble, but I aint no lady!

4:55 pm

yah. i agree with judi :)

4:57 pm

Judi...surely you drink your wine from a glass, yes?

4:57 pm

Nope. Straight from the bottle... with a bendy straw of course.

4:57 pm

*belches*

4:57 pm

heehee

4:58 pm

And don't call me shirley.

4:58 pm

a paper cup then?

4:59 pm

Just kidding. Of course I drink wine from a glass. I also drink beer from a glass. Let's just say I drink.

4:59 pm

bbs -\n news

5:00 pm

well aren't we a surly bunch! ...see no e in it...!

5:01 pm

well if one doesn't drink, we'll die of th6!

5:01 pm

unless,we're hooked up to a drip line..IV style...

5:01 pm

Indeed. Still looking for four W's. Maybe if I stand on my head...

5:02 pm

water.........i neeed waaaaaaaaaaterrrrrr...

5:02 pm

ruru...have you been lurkjing again!

5:02 pm

*tosses a water bottle at ruru*

5:03 pm

lurk? wha? who? me?

5:03 pm

did it have water in it jes?

5:03 pm

of course. what's the use of an empty?

5:03 pm

Didn't find a W, but I did find a small fish. :)

5:04 pm

there's a wi6 right after the fifth wi4 in case you didn't have it...

5:05 pm

jes..perhaps ruru just needed something to hold his water...

5:06 pm

**crosses legs***

5:06 pm

or being the "womean" you wanted him to get his ow3 water?

5:06 pm

lol

5:06 pm

Pav.. are you talking about Palin again?

5:06 pm

oops! woman....not the other..tht would be rude...

5:06 pm

Ty. Found that wi, and a di7 and di9 while I was at it.

5:06 pm

heh. nah. i am no feminazi. i'm not a servant either, but i like being helpful :)

5:07 pm

**conjures up weird picture*** goosestepping in high heels...

5:08 pm

yeah, see, it's just silly! why would i wanna be one?

5:08 pm

Don't forget the lipstick, ruru.

5:08 pm

sorry ruru...as a REGISTERED Repub, I'm boycotting the election until someone of intelligence and tru honor is runnign

5:08 pm

boy do I hear you on that

5:08 pm

I know I'll prob die of old age by tehn...

5:08 pm

Double ditto.

5:09 pm

bbinamin

5:09 pm

oh, so you'll be not voting for a long time then. when's the last time there was a politician of true honor (no matter what group!)?

5:09 pm

Sigh. I still miss Ronald Reagan.

5:10 pm

the trouble is jes, when they first decide to become politicians they have honour and virtue and do it for all the right reasons, only then does the corruption begin

5:11 pm

Except in the case of Ted Kennedy.

5:11 pm

ABe...as in Lincoln,,,but hten hi4orians have been trying to besmirtch him si5..and yes I'll admit to te4ing up at RR's funeral service

5:11 pm

heh. i think i actually got push-polled the other day.

5:12 pm

Pres Carter was in at the wrong time...he has some honor left I think...

5:13 pm

Carter: good diplomant, wonderful humanitarian, terrible president.

5:13 pm

which is a real shame, because up until then, my main reason for voting for that person was that her opponent was such a raving asshole with the entirely negative campaign.

5:14 pm

yeah...not everyone can lead....or have advisors with half brains...

5:14 pm

any ph words?

5:14 pm
