1:13 am

anyone hear of a "tomato soup" cake? my cashier made one for our admin assist's BD, and he called in sic, so they agreed to cut it up anywhooo

1:13 am

celebes buffalo alert

1:13 am

not here sorry pav

1:14 am

similar to a spice cake, made with a can of tomato soup...with cloves and alspice

1:14 am

I've made tomato soup cake with a cream cheese frosting

1:14 am

long ago

1:15 am

still have the recipe somewhere

1:15 am

that prob is it Jilli! since I can't have cinnamon, I was a bit trepid, til I found out ther's not in it...

1:16 am

pav hasn't allspice got cinnamon in it

1:16 am

sounds an interesting cake

1:16 am

brb -- will look for the recipe...

1:17 am

Ground allspice is not, as some people believe, a mixture of spices. Rather, it is the dried fruit of the Pimenta dioica plant.

1:18 am

well, our resident "baker/know-it-all" says alspice comes from it's own berry so it wouldn't have cinn unless it was added after grounding up...personally, she's a bit batty, and makes me wonder at times...

1:18 am

The name "allspice" was coined by the English, who thought it combined the flavour of several aromatic spices, such as cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves.

1:19 am

and there you go, Dan has it!

1:19 am

sweets for my sweet sugar for my ho5

1:19 am

too much food in this grid tonite lol

1:19 am

thx dan that is very interesting i always thought it was a mixture of spices

1:20 am

so if I can't smell the cinn in it, prob it has none, yes, Dan? I'd love a whole piece tomorrow...and then if I die you won't hear from me again!!=) How exciting!! and dangerous!

1:21 am

we had can in house growing up, so i'd read the side early on; to finish off knowledge:Allspice, also called Jamaica pepper,"Kurundu" Myrtle pepper, pimento, or newspice

1:22 am

that must be hard pav, lots of cakes, cookies and some meat dishes have cinnamon

1:22 am

Tomato Soup Cake 1 cup sugar 2 tbsp butter 1 can tomato soup 1 tsp baking soda 1½ cups flour (not self-rising)

1:22 am

1 cup raisins

1:22 am

sniff sniff we would miss you <---------------------------- this much --------------------------------> pav

1:23 am

thanks Kiwi...but in the chat log,, that isn't very big LOL! and yes, andree,can't have too much deserts with apples, my fav, 'cause they add the cinn automatically...

1:24 am

id make it as big as i could but id get told off for chogging up the chog lol

1:24 am

sorry -- hit the wrong button -- 1 cup chopped nuts (optional) 1 tsp each of cloves, cinnamon, nutmeg (You could leave out the cinnamon)

1:24 am

sending HUGE HUG to Kiwi...

1:24 am

one of my grandaughters has a nut allergy, it is so difficult and we have an epipen at the ready always

1:25 am

awww shucks i missed you while i was away i missed everyone

1:25 am

Cream butter and sugar, sift dry ingredients, add. Add soup and nuts and raisins. Bake 30 min at 350F.

1:25 am

anyone know what the 7 starts with

1:25 am

ol ruru

1:25 am

so allspice would cover those 3; its very versatile, oils fro plant even used a deodorant and indigestion relief

1:26 am

ol7

1:26 am

1:56 am

<gets a replacement icepack ready for when ruru picks himself up off the floor slipping on the water from the other icepack>

2:10 am

so far it is smooth, sandy, but I am not done yet. Quite a bit past halfway.

2:10 am

2:10 am

3:57 am

3:57 am

Can anyone remember what the NAAFI is/was?

3:57 am

A little, thanks. So sorry about your friend. Read about it on your blog.

3:58 am

Trading organisation of the armed forces. Good morning!

3:58 am

Hi Ray. It was the organisation that provided canteens, refreshments, leisure facilities for the forces during wartime.

3:59 am

cheers Hydra - is it an acronym?

3:59 am

www.naafi.co.uk

3:59 am

Ditto what he Two Aitches just said, Ray.

3:59 am

Navy Army and Air Force Institutes - that's where the initials came from

3:59 am

Yes, an anacronym

3:59 am

ta...

4:00 am

Morning Haz.

Yes, hi Haz

4:00 am

Greetings from SoggyLand.

Raining there, Haz? It's sunny here.

4:00 am

Greetings from crisp, sunny autumn land! Sorry about the sog, Haz!

4:01 am

Adds one more Union Jack to the collection. Morning all, forecast promises a lovely day today.

4:01 am

I don't think it's ever going to stop raining again.

4:01 am

Morning FM.

4:02 am

Good morning FMitch. Can we go for a full page of Unions jacks?

4:02 am

Hi FMitch.

4:02 am

Morning JAcs and Haz and hydra

4:02 am

Haz come on over tomorrow is going to be like it was on the 27th

4:03 am

I wish! It's so dark and gloomy today again.

4:03 am

This makes me sound very sad, but I'm enjoying washing all my clothes and hanging them out in the sun to get that lovely fresh smell. (Get a life, eh?)

4:04 am

Hydra - I LOVE hanging out washing. You are not alone.

4:04 am

*hangs onto the promise of sunshine with both hands*

4:04 am

Same here, but hate ironing afterwards.

4:04 am

Let's face it, you get your clothes dried for free, that's something worth celebrating.

4:05 am

Shhh all this talk of 'housework' might wake the sleeping Lori!

4:05 am

Glad to hear it, Jac. Wish the squirrel would stop climbing up the rotary dryer. He might hibernate in my knickers! (Or hide his nuts)

4:05 am

I seem to relish every aspect of laundry except putting it away.

4:05 am

lol hydra

4:05 am

I'm with Jac in that I hate ironing.

4:05 am

No, we mustn't wake Lori. LORIIIIII!!!!

4:06 am

Just checking to see if we have a full page of Brits.

4:06 am

Almost. A few more posts and we'll be able to contact Mr Guinness and his book of records.

4:06 am

We are safe, for now, she isn't on line

4:06 am

Looks like we have. Shall we start singing Rule Britannia?

4:07 am

Keep talking! We can do it!

4:07 am

Ireland ruins the show!

4:07 am

Can't we contact Mr Guiness and his big black drink instead?

4:07 am

Ha! You don't show up as a flag. It doesn't count!

4:07 am

Tad early for imbibement isn't it hydra?

4:07 am

Nobody need reach for the rule book. I'm writing it as we speak.

4:08 am

Student poverty, can't affrod that damn $15.

4:08 am

I can think about it, though. (Just typed 'tink' - I'm turning Irish! Well, my birthday is March 17th)

4:08 am

*Affoard

4:08 am

afford

4:08 am

I sympathise, Blas. I was a student once.

4:08 am

You'd think I was fussy about spelling or something, wouldn't you?

4:09 am

:-) Haz.

4:09 am

When we were students none of this virtual world existed, no PCs, no www *giggle*

Good morning jean.

4:10 am

hasel

4:10 am

I still possess all of those, Haz. And a compass too. And a stapler.

4:11 am

Does anyone know why Licketys page doesn't work anymore?

4:11 am

He's on holiday feenix.

Hehe thanks. I'm from Torpoint, Cornwall.

4:16 am

Is that anywhere near Saltash?

4:17 am

I've got a friend in Saltash.

4:17 am

Sort of. It would probably take me about 15-20 mins to get there by car.

4:17 am

So have I. I love it there.

4:17 am

Basically I'm a ferry ride away from Plymouth.

4:18 am

4:25 am

lol yes, exactly!

4:27 am

Weeeeee, courier has been with delivery so I am not tied to waiting in all day :)

4:28 am

That's good. There's nothing makes you feel more stir-crazy than knowing that you can't go out.

4:29 am

Of course, you've got nice weather to appreciate. I'm living in the land of Damp.

4:30 am

Awe there there

4:30 am

Can I request a t and an r to replace a couple of those redundant o's?

4:31 am

Right. I'm going to take a break, lull the grid into a false sense of security, and come back to it.

4:31 am

Ooooh, you don't want to do that!

morning. FM, without those crazy O's you wont be able to uh, call your pig.

5:27 am

*always*

5:28 am

gran-sounds a bit like what can form after surgery-scar tissue of a sort, but with the in beginning ratther than ad

5:29 am

in8 - if you think of the quality of stickiness beginning with ad, make it begin with in instead.

5:29 am

I see boatloads of visitors heading to Sark, claiming that they're babblers, in order to get some free stuff.

5:41 am

Good morning Nono.

5:41 am

No kiddin'. A poorly thought out marketing tool......

ooops not really sad faced :)

5:41 am

Oh good, I was worried tehre for a second Nono.

5:42 am

May I just add, me no likey this grid.

5:42 am

This is a grid that invites a degree of patience.

it is a bit overloaded with vowels

5:43 am

i quite like it .. but i do have 24 words left

5:43 am

Well I'm hooped then.

5:43 am

afternoon all

5:43 am

Feeling smug - fewer left than Ata.

5:52 am

**writing down Lori's quote about a fart in a mitten....wondering what size mitten she places down there**

5:52 am

Too.... many... vowels....

5:56 am

I agree, Lori. Let's change up the grid a bit--it needs a T and an R for sure.

5:58 am

Morning! Babblers will enjoy this BBC piece on your favorite words today: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/mag azine/7659954.stm

5:58 am

includes one or two we've seen in the grid, like "tmesis"

good morning Inge2

5:59 am

G'd morning Inge

5:59 am

I like "poodle-faker"

5:59 am

Lots of Babblets today. Stoopid o's done. Only a kazillion vowels to go.

6:02 am

TY, Inge2--I am printing the list right now! I will share it with my Scrabble buddies.

6:04 am

enjoy , scrabs!

that's quite a list Inge

6:04 am

I hadn't heard of many.

6:05 am

Very cool Inge, thanks!

good for you Lori, I have exactly one O word

6:05 am

" Spanghew - to cause (esp. a toad or frog) to fly into the air off the end of a stick. (In northern and Scottish use.) Why? Well, all one has to do is imagine the myriad situations in which one might use this word."

6:05 am

sounds like babble, doesn't it? :-)

6:05 am

babblets up the ying yang today.

6:06 am

The words are great.

6:06 am

:D @ Inge

6:07 am

kind of a dull grid no?

6:07 am

Haha, Inge2.

6:08 am

Well, time I was off to do useful things. Happy babbling!

Hi folks! Hi Scrabbs, tahnks for your advice! Sorry to be such a pain. Walter is feeling much better now but I think there's more underway, however the worst is DEFINITELY over as of about 3 hours ago.

6:09 am

Hi all -I still cannot get the ha 5/12 (last ome), Any more clues please

bye Haz, go do your clean thing regardless of how we all feel about it LOL

hi Monkey and Buzzy

6:10 am

Hi Nono

6:11 am

I will do! Byee...

Good thing too; have o take the cat to the vet and would't have wanted Walter to have to while he was that uncomfortable and would have had to cancel. Cat has, unfortunately, a Worrisome Lump.

6:12 am

our cats occasionly got lumps - they were abscesses due to fighting- had to be drained

6:12 am

Good news, MG!! Poor kitty though. There is always something to worry about.

6:13 am

how do you spell abscess

6:13 am

Later haz. g'd morning MG, sandy

I have a lot of experience with this sort of thing (worked for vets lots and in rescue). Unfortunately this lump is hard and irregularly shaped and doesn't move around. But I still hope t's an abscess. However it ian't painful and abscesses usually are. Sigh.

Indeed, Scrabbs, always something.... it defines human nature, really.

6:14 am

You spelled it correctly, Sandy.

6:14 am

hmmm that sounds worrisome and scrabbler is right there is always something to worry about

6:15 am

thanks scrab

6:15 am

I awoke early this AM (before my alarm) and my head filled with worries.

6:15 am

doctors have more worries that the average

6:15 am

than

Yup. Smoothe edged, clearly subcutaneous, and moves about would all be GOOD things. Oh well. It's a good vet. This'll shoot that bank account down below 0 though, especially if they want an x-ray. Probably they'll start with a needle biopsy thopugh.

6:16 am

Why so many worries today, scrabbs?

6:17 am

morning ladies;)

6:17 am

G'd morning cross

6:17 am

My friend Mary is struggling and I am constantly thinking of her, her husband and the kids.

We think the cat is about 10. We adopted her from a friend moving away, about 7 years ago when we think she was about 3. That friend got her as a big kitten; vet said at that time she could have been anywhere between 7 and around 14 months old. So anyway, yeah, she's definitely ABOUT 10.

6:18 am

Hi Crossy

Oh dear! I send her supportive thoughts a lot. Are you OK?

morning cross

6:19 am

I finally found ha 5/12 by monkey typing. No wonder I couldnt' find it - it was

6:19 am

was not even in A2Z

Monkey if it turns out to be something other than an abscess, please don't put kitty thru the trauma of surgery

6:20 am

g'morning all! and hello , other Monkey!

6:20 am

I thought it might be that, scrabbs. Be strong.

We did that with a cat we once had and I have regretted it ever since

6:20 am

monkey what was wrong with Walter ? I thought he was better

6:20 am

G'd morning lil. Anyone got all 3 words from the snd row from the bottom i?

6:20 am

I have been profoundly sad for the last 2 wks, not depressed, just very sad and having difficulty focusing on anything else.

good morning lil

No, especially where it is. I know a good bit about it and if it was just in the muscle of a thigh or something I think she'd do very well with surgery, but it's tucked under a front leg right up on the ribs and there's just too much risk of muscle and nerve damage and tehy'd have to go deep, I think. But she's not seeming ill so I have my hopes up.

6:21 am

Hi Lil*monkey.

6:21 am

hugs, scrabs. It makes me sad too

6:21 am

scrab - that is awful, it is horrible to feel like that

ndy, yes, but he just had his first bout with really nasty consitipation.

6:22 am

poor little fellow

yes Lori I have them all

Oh Scrabbs, you hang in the there! Is there anything I can do? You can e-mail me...

6:22 am

what is the familys problem? financial?health or both?

6:22 am

I saw you said thanks for all the advice so I won't add to it!

6:22 am

or worried about patients

Monkey, wise choice. As long as she is not seeming ill give her lots of love and attention

Yes, poor little guy. But he's through the really bad part now. Thing is though, he has a cold and it seems like he's white and tired like during the Bad Virus... how long does it take to get these all the WAY out of the system? Poor Sprite's family have been down with it for weeks, since Walter gave it to them, too.

6:23 am

Nono, I have the 2 bodies of land in water. What fish word am I missing please?

6:24 am

i'm working through the hs for horribles

its not a fish word Lori..... its an in8/45

6:24 am

Ahh, that's all I needed to know Thanks Nono!!!! ***goes lookking***

6:25 am

Crossy, my friend Mary was diagnosed with brain cancer shortly after being induced early and delivering her 3rd child one year ago this week.

Good things about the cat: no weight loss, behavior changes, coat changes. limp even though this is under a leg, and no sign of dicomfort when I feel the lump up.

6:25 am

oh yes,i remember you mentionining her

NO limp, that should say.

6:25 am

MG, the trouble with winters and school is constant illnesses.

6:25 am

scrab - that is absolutely so tragic -

6:26 am

Ty for hugs and concerns.

6:26 am

her treatments not going well?

6:26 am

Wow, thanks Nono! ***the cheque is in the mail*** Vowels are done!

I know. I'm just jumpy since the Mystery Virus. When he goes dead white with those big circles under his eyes and gets tired all the time my mama-paranoia jumps me. But I have teh same cold right now and he's had a NASTY night and morning so I can't blame him for being pale and tired! I will not worry. Really. Honest.

6:27 am

any clues around for the 7?

6:28 am

***showers Nono with rose petals*** Sorry Ish, haven't found it yet

haven't found it yet Ish

I do not have it either.

I will wait patiently for that checque Lori LOL

6:29 am

Crossy, she has a severe myopathy (muscle weakness) from chemo and can barely move. Chemo is on hold, a muscle biopsy was done, and steroid treatment will start. The good news: the cancer has not spread or recurred. Bad news, as is often the case: the cancer treatment is so toxic.

it's an ol 7/40, plural of ol 6, spanish cheer, plus what fish have

Meanwhile Walter still really likes school and the changes I made around meals and so forth are seriously paying off: he's even trying new things.

6:30 am

***it'll be little rubbery i think....*** :D

6:30 am

Keep Walter eating a healthy diet including vit D.

It sure is, Scrabbs. My thoughts are with her, her family, and you.

thanks Ladycece!!

6:30 am

ty lady

yw

6:30 am

Uh oh. A million shades of red. I did have the 7. ***sorry!***

He gets a multivitamin and drinks lots of milk.

thats ok lori, I can play bouncy bouncy with it

6:31 am

It's a Babblet, and I pluraled it, and didn't give it anotehr thought. Ack!

6:31 am

oase

6:31 am

It'll prob'ally be good for tennis Nono. :p

Usual breakdfast: pancakes made with strawberry yoghurt instead of the milk. Lunch: various sandwiches; current favorite, salami and cheese. Dinners, still prefers rice but is now startingt o branch out.

Snacks usually rice cakes with butter and hagelslag, or crackers and cheese, apples, raisins, and I admit sometimes cookies or a surprise egg.

6:32 am

olease send her and her family all my best wishes,i defininatly understand the toxic part.the best you can do as a friendis to be there for her,for a ride,to make her a tea.i found that people and friiends just being there to lend a hand with daily things makes a world of difference as it gave me a posative outlook even in the depths of my treatments.give them all my love and hopes for a speedy recovery scrabbs

6:32 am

oops...lucky it was wrong (although only just)

Raspberry juice (well-watered) current favorite drink.

6:33 am

monkey fresh fruit is always good, I used to cut up fruit into little bits (variety) and make a platter up for my difficult eater

6:33 am

Ish, 'yer attempts at quality PB time are shameless..... :D

have you ever monkied in a word and then not be able to see it in the grid?

He really likes apples and bananas and pears (although i think we'll try to keep bananas out for a few days).

6:34 am

she always ate my platters but wouldn't eat my meals and the platters were amazingly healthy

I have, NoNo. Very disconcerting.

6:34 am

All the time Nono.

6:34 am

the hawaiian word for caucasian is in the grid :)

6:34 am

I used to juice fresh carrot and apples and she loved that

Oh and today in the woods we passed where the people at the bulb farm often put out flowers for sale. They had a big pile of organic purple cabbages. Walter isisted he wants one for dinner., so what the heck, I'll stir fry some! He will often try anything I am willing to put soy sauce on.

6:35 am

scrab, I really feel for you at the moment, it is so hard to watch and be able to do nothing

The cabbage he picked out is bigger than his head.

6:36 am

Lol

6:36 am

i used to use the platter idea with my son as well sandy,i think ist something about the food being laid out all casual on a single large plate versus a formal dinner set up that makes picky eaters enjoy them

6:36 am

also it is in bite sizes , I think that helped

6:37 am

afternoon everyone

I do that with Walter too. But things got to th epoint where he wouldn't eat ANYTHING but rice, no matter how it's laid out, but now with new scheduling and more strictness he's branching out again. I made him a chart with pictures of clocks so he can see when lunch and snacksa nd all are forthcoming.

6:37 am

howdy katie

6:37 am

hmmm sandy.... beehive, updo.....

Hi Katie!

{{{scrabbler}}}} it seems like ages :-)

6:38 am

hi lori...

Hi Carlee!

Good Morning Carlee :)

6:39 am

hi MG...crossy...nono

OK, time to load the dishwasher and stuff SCSI into the cat carrier. I'll let you know what we find out! Scrabbs, if you need a listening ear or some Dutch hot chocolate powder or something, e-mail me...

6:40 am

grrr..this is a doable grid but I have to get ready for camp again...

6:40 am

and work

6:40 am

***sobbing into coffee***

6:40 am

it is a nasty grid..with evil pretentions:/

6:41 am

oh..well..in THAT case...I don't mind ignoring it completely :)

6:41 am

hitting the wall at ten words is not pretty

6:41 am

need a tea i think

6:41 am

Bye MG, enjoy the day.

6:42 am

I have 14, crossy, but I just finished typing a long e-mail.

bye bye MG

6:42 am

oh no, our favorite thing to throw is in the grid.... drat!

6:42 am

hads scrabbs a strong cup of his english breakfast tea and leaves the bunnies alone for the day;)

carlee, please don't make your coffee salty!

6:43 am

have u got it kje, i'm sure you have

6:43 am

Throw a hissy fit? Throw up?

6:43 am

cept for that really plump one.....

6:43 am

I gots it now!

6:44 am

I'll guess the ho5 sandy.... though initialy was looking for a hairdo!

6:44 am

wheres my tartar sauce?

6:44 am

Crossy, Miss B was just sprinting around the downstairs like a little nut. I awoke during the night when I heard her doing it too.

6:44 am

Hi Carlee, have a fun camping weekend!!

6:45 am

crossy tries to imagine bunnies tearing around like spastic cats in the night....

6:45 am

happy camping carlee:)

6:45 am

scrab, our jack russels love our cat, how do you think they would go with a rabbit?

6:45 am

thanks all... i think we willhave fun..again...

6:46 am

my cats certainly do the spastic run around at nite

6:46 am

jack russels love rabbits..they only ask for them medium rare

6:46 am

carlee, what is your icon??

6:46 am

its hilarious

6:47 am

its a racoon we saw last weekend camping ( kids named this one ricky...there was ricky2 and dan as well.... but this one is ricky

6:47 am

omg - it looks like the spawn of the devil

6:48 am

its just a raccoon

6:48 am

LOL

6:48 am

i'll change it then

6:48 am

we don't have them here

6:48 am

no it's funny

6:48 am

A particularly evil raccoon

6:49 am

I think he's kinda cute carlee...

6:49 am

purple crayons to go around the room

6:49 am

I am being attacked by a host of insects- a moth just flew into my wine

are you camping in the same place this weekend Carlee?

6:50 am

same camp yes...different site

6:50 am

and I think we are going the weekend of the 24-25 as well

6:51 am

I really really really hate moths, give me an evil raccoon any day :-)

6:51 am

I like the term "spastic running"--the bunnies look so funny when they do it--stop, start, turn, sprint...I think it is practice for running away from predators, such as you, Crossy.

6:51 am

( going to TRY and get a site...everyone apparently decorates the sites for hallowe'en..booked solid and the kids trick or treat sat nite)

6:51 am

I managed to get half way before the list, very proud :-)

6:51 am

Good girl, Kitt.

6:51 am

49 left here

6:51 am

ricky was pretty shy actually...allthings considered as he munched down on leftover shrimp)

6:52 am

this grid is harder than it looks.... or maybe I'm just not awake enoughh yet?

oh that sounds like lots of fun carlee

9:04 am

oooo - TY lori

9:04 am

ty Lori!

The vet said everything I already said myself: lump does not move freely, is not purely subcutaneous, is not overtly painful, and is unevenly shaped. Bad signs. But SCSI has not been losing weight pr gone "off color" or anything-- good signs. She took three needle biopsies from different parts of it and we will hear the results Wednesday.

9:05 am

nothing to do now but wait then, mg

9:06 am

well monkey, I hope it will be ok and you never know it may very well be.

9:06 am

kje, do you have the common greeting that starts with he, minus one of the consonants? It also has a pl

Yup. She said the chances it is benign are low but far from negligeable.

9:06 am

yes, have it, TY aloy

9:06 am

what kind of dog, MG?

9:06 am

and don't forget the egg laying bird

9:06 am

ok,i have flickr working..i think,have some nice pics of our day on the hill

Cat. Soft-as-rabbit tabby, probably far northern roots with this undercoat.

aww, wishing you and kitty the best results

9:08 am

9:08 am

Finally, h's done!

We had a serious scare a couple of years ago with the dog and it was a granuloma in the end, so we'll keep our hopes up.

9:08 am

do you have the dwarf buffalo, inge?

9:08 am

there you go monkey, you have a lot of hope

Thanks, Aloy. She's about 10 so I hope this is benign; we won't put her through a whole lot about it if it isn't so I'd rather that didn't become the issue.

9:08 am

crossy - did you enter and update your proifle page with your flickr ID cos nothing is showing :(

9:09 am

I have all the other na words, which is a buffalo?

This is just such a GOOD cat.... NEver scratched or bitten in her life, loving, oddly doglike sometimes, adorse the dog (you should see her: she'll snag the dog by both cheecks with her claws so she can wash her eyebrows (dog is a Great Dane)). She followed us to playgroup a few weeks ago and let all the toddlers play with her. I was hoping she'd make it to 20 or so. Of course, maybe she still will, but I have to accept this is not looking good.

9:17 am

G'd morning Annie

9:17 am

finished the na words, looking for in 8 now

9:17 am

in = 6 letters after ad, like a band aid sticking perhaps

9:17 am

I had to jump into the craziness here, hi kje, FM, lori etal

9:18 am

where are you getting your 2 letter beginning clues...forgot where you look when lickety missing?

9:18 am

9:18 am

could i verify the in 8 clue? not sure about it:

9:19 am

37 left, no list, no sanity but large headache

9:19 am

in, then i am confused about the 6 letters after ad...i dont see ad in the grid. so not sure what that means.

9:19 am

good going Lori, the end is in sight!

9:19 am

in + 2 letter word for that guy + plural + small particle

9:20 am

9:20 am

ty Lori

MKG its the state of existing

9:20 am

ty lori p. got the in 8.

9:20 am

ad + 6 letters would obviously describe the act of sticking.......

Don't know about well-earned!

Hi everyone.

10:10 am

Actually I did lots of useful and much-needed housework yesterday, so perhaps today's Babble is better-earned than usual, at least.

10:10 am

Hello, Narnia queen. Would you be Susan or Lucy? Or the White Witch?

10:11 am

There must be something in the air around the world all this housework being done - even I succombed the other day

10:11 am

Scary!

10:11 am

Is it narnia mother or narnia daugther today though?

I would definitely be Susan. She is one of my all time favorite actresses.

10:11 am

Hopefully it hasnt reached Nova Scotia...wouldnt want to upset Lori

10:12 am

Lori has been trying to 'cure' me Annie

What do you mean by narnia mother or daughter?

10:13 am

10:13 am

Be strong, FM!

10:13 am

hi Annie.. am headed back to bed after fireworks.. some virus is attacking me.. of all the nerve! See you next grid, happy Babbling.. or housework, whatever, lol

10:13 am

LOL Annie - she was trying to stop me from doing housework and failed miserably, no fault of hers :)

10:14 am

Oh, poor Aloy! Feel better!

10:14 am

be better! aloy! I send you some virtual immunostart!

I am the daughter. I just got done with a couple of classes and am taking a break before I do homework.

10:14 am

Bel well soon Aloy hugs.

10:15 am

.. and I must go back to lurking for a while, phone calls to make and all that. TTFN

10:16 am

woo under a hundred to go (to be fair this thing called work gets in the way)

10:16 am

Awwww, bye, FM. But since I know you'll be lurking, I'll be sure to throw in the occasional inflammatory comment. =D

10:16 am

and Im on IM too Vi *grin*

10:16 am

I think I've changed my icon at last

10:17 am

please clue the in8

10:18 am

119

10:18 am

119 ouwachita

10:18 am

10:18 am

clue for oa 6/30?

if kje is on I want to apologize for being snooty yesterday with the Mccain and Palin thing. I felt really bad when I got home.

10:18 am

oops.got it

10:21 am

I'm sure she'll see this at some point :)

10:21 am

how about the ol 6/27?

kje is a girl? For some reason I thought she was a he.

10:22 am

its a petrochemical. helpful, eh? LOL

thanks.

10:22 am

pl of the 5/10 ol

10:22 am

ol + abcd** + not out

10:22 am

*most* ppl here are girls

10:23 am

ty ata i was having trouble wtih the clue

10:23 am

ursh. the in 8 ends in the smallest particle

my mom says that girls are naturally better at vocab.

10:24 am

i always get the chemical words - my mother would be proud

back hi vi

10:24 am

ata...that's ol5/10, need 6/27

10:25 am

yes, I just clued it

10:25 am

ol6/27 = ol + abcd** + not out

10:26 am

oops..sorry! wasn't counting **

10:26 am

thanks, ata!

10:26 am

add the 6th letter to the middle of ol5/10

10:26 am

i'm so slow

10:27 am

at clues

10:27 am

sorry

10:27 am

:)

10:27 am

i have to brag - check out the new grandchild

10:27 am

i dont get the smallest particle clue for the in8

me neither

10:29 am

What a cute baby, grandma.

10:29 am

because i thought the smallest particle has a t in it..

10:29 am

I know the smallest particle I just don't get the rest of the word

10:29 am

;-p

10:29 am

its a three letter charged particle

10:29 am

ahh

would someone please clue tha in again?

10:30 am

in8 = the rest of it goes better with ad****** (much more common word)

10:30 am

The middle part of the 8 is a masculine pronoun

10:30 am

in (instead of ad) and the sticky word like a bandage

ty, bee - perfect!

got it!

10:31 am

ok got it

10:31 am

stoopid word

i keep seeing"heifer"

10:31 am

i feel left out... thinking cap on

10:31 am

That's probably just my icon, TO! lol

heelo, gmere...hope your trip is going wonderfully

10:34 am

10:41 am

But must the Babble conversation *always* come back to corsets!?! lol

1:09 pm

They are beautiful, absolutely!

1:25 pm

Those blessed children of Vicuna's!

1:26 pm

Will they never let her stay in babble for longer than 10 minutes?

1:27 pm

Hi Haz

1:27 pm

Hello there!

1:27 pm

fuqu- did you find the e's

1:30 pm

i am missing the e from the second column, want to help me?

1:30 pm

hey haz

1:30 pm

Hello Sharon - it's el4 - a mixed up version of the Nazi greeting for Hitler (a babblet)

1:30 pm

el+ a welcoming greeting

1:31 pm

thanks!

1:31 pm

You're welcome.

ty! got the el. now just need the ea. Have two ea5 and 1 ea4.

1:32 pm

ea6

1:32 pm

ea6- add a vowel to ea5

1:32 pm

and it relates to the 4 and 5, fuqu

1:32 pm

the 2nd one

1:32 pm

There's an ea6 - heading towards being the most simple but not quite making it.

1:34 pm

hazzzz!

1:34 pm

Hello Ata!

1:34 pm

love your email

1:34 pm

Was your drive home tolerable?

1:35 pm

really rather easy for once!

1:35 pm

We don't talk like that ALL the time, honestly!

1:35 pm

Oh, that's good - no major traffic jams or anything and Hobbit behaved?

1:38 pm

nope! and luckily she's always an angel in the car

1:39 pm

I'm just reading back in the chat log to see what I missed today.

1:39 pm

lol I do as well. with fi4y things

1:40 pm

What do you make of the announcement that Cats Protection have 11 million quid squirrelled away in Iceland?

1:40 pm

Or, had, might be more accurate.

1:40 pm

Good evening, Babblers

1:40 pm

Hello Kathihle.

1:40 pm

oh I didn't know the CPL were involved, I've seen things in the news about children's charities

1:41 pm

they'll get it back somehow

1:41 pm

They seem to be the biggest losers so far.

1:41 pm

Howyadoin, Haz? And how's this horrible grid going?

1:42 pm

Yes, give us the money or have 50 squillion cats landed on you.

1:42 pm

wahhhh :(

1:42 pm

I'm doing fine, Kath - the grid is tameable. Just show it who's boss.

1:43 pm

I ground to a complete halt over the ha5/12 and ha6/21 - last ones ... any clues?

1:43 pm

iceland could easily be overrun with cats

1:43 pm

lol @ Haz .. I'm not assertive enough, apparently

1:43 pm

ha5/12 - ha plus a Spanish cheer and then plural.

1:44 pm

remember those words

1:44 pm

It's a term of derision in Hawaii for a white man.

1:44 pm

and an infamous babblet

1:45 pm

Thanks Haz!! Wow, those are certainly new to me .. but then so are a lot of the words I've thrown in and they've been accepted

ty for ea clue. got pulled away by work

1:45 pm

It's all about creative typing and the opening of the mind to the possibilities of letter combinations.

1:45 pm

Glad you got it, fuquay.

1:46 pm

Haz> Yep, that's pretty much what I end up doing .. trying all sorts of combinations

1:47 pm

you'll soon learn the common bablets

1:47 pm

I only have 81 words, better stick my nose back in the grid :)

1:47 pm

Ata> I've already learned a lot of really weird words since beginning to Babble, lol

1:48 pm

:)

1:48 pm

Enjoy - and sing out if you need more help.

1:48 pm

I'd never suggest that to Vicuna. (a) she never needs help and (b) not a note in her head.

1:49 pm

oh no. singing does not occur around Vi

1:52 pm

I've just reached the part where Stid's mother met up with Liz. That must have been fun to see Liz's face!

1:52 pm

Thx Haz

1:52 pm

oh *yes*!

1:55 pm

And I like that you think I know everything. Smugness factor off the scale!

1:55 pm

but you do!! ........ don't you?

1:56 pm

I like to give that impression but it isn't quite the truth. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.

1:57 pm

darn

1:57 pm

Are you very disappointed?

1:57 pm

absolutely. devastated

1:57 pm

Should I divert those counsellors and psychologists?

1:58 pm

yes please

1:59 pm

The secret is to only ever comment on things you do know about, but keep quiet when you know you're on shaky ground. That way, nobody can say 'Gosh, what rot!'

1:59 pm

hello all

1:59 pm

Hello peri!

1:59 pm

Hello everyone

1:59 pm

cannot see the ha4/8, is it a common word?

2:00 pm

And jillibus - nice to see you both!

2:00 pm

loooool. I should stick to that too

2:00 pm

ha4/8 - generous with vowels, sounds like a fraction.

2:00 pm

not liking this grid at all, one of the hardest ever, at least for me

2:00 pm

sheesh, I know that word, too, thanks Haz

2:01 pm

Just remember every babblet you've ever seen and you'll be fine, peri.

2:01 pm

You're welcome.

2:01 pm

except etna

2:01 pm

I am always proud of myself when I do recognize a babblet.

2:01 pm

oops, message -- brb

2:01 pm

True. And no nene.

2:01 pm

I never seem to see ciao

2:01 pm

Nor haha.

2:02 pm

or brrr

2:02 pm

I was exaggerating when I said every babblet, wasn't I?

2:02 pm

nor psst nor pfui. but nearly every single other one

2:02 pm

Neither does LoriP, peri.

2:02 pm

I am having a difficult time with the ha words

2:03 pm

OKay, I'll rephrase what I said.... find lots of babblets.

Hi incredibly briefly. Cia was in yesterday's grid.

2:03 pm

including the infamous greek temple

CiaO...

2:05 pm

but the Celebes buffalo is here :)

2:05 pm

oh yes :D

It is indeed. As in gets underway very quickly (hi4).

2:05 pm

How are you doing, jillibus?

2:07 pm

doing fine, thanks, Haz -- but very little time today. Son coming for a visit, hooray -- too short, though.

2:08 pm

Still, it's better than nothing. I suppose you're as busy as ever?

2:08 pm

Haz, you have the same icon as Sprite :)

2:08 pm

Do I? I wasn't on earlier when she was.

Someone I know's name is a phantom, I just realized. Irish lady. Her name is Aiofe. Pronounced ee-fa.

Yes, you do.

2:09 pm

last ha5/12 please

2:09 pm

oh yes, busy busy -- now have a deadline for the monthly calendars I design for the local Seniors' society

2:09 pm

I always remember my shock when the first pictures of the newly released Mandela were shown. \We were so used to seeing the original picture of him as a young man that it took me by surprise to see an elderly gentleman standing beside PW Botha.

I don't know if it is the last one but the one I have is ha+ spanish cheer

That happened to me too. Haz.

2:10 pm

thanks Monkey, was actually looking for that but just didn't see it :(

Can't take too much credit; I got it from a clue even though it's a Babblet.

You can plural ittoo.

2:11 pm

I have only half the Ha words and have to go and get lunch

2:12 pm

Lull those ha words into a false sense of security and surprise them when you come back, all refreshed. Enjoy lunch, jillibus.

Can everyone keep my cat in your thoughts off and on until Wednesday? I know that is a bit trivial in many circles but she's a special cat. We find out what her lump is Wednesday.

2:13 pm

I just watched the movie: Margot at the Wedding with Nicole Kidman. supposed to be a funny movie and got 5 stars according to the cover. Was not impressed.

2:13 pm

Of course I will keep your kitty in my thoughts, Monkey. What is her name

2:13 pm

we need a pic of her, mg

SCSI. It came with the cat.

2:13 pm

and it is not trivial, Monkey

2:14 pm

would someone please put me out of my misery and compete the grid for me

2:15 pm

Defeatist talk, peri. You are not one of those spoonfed players!

There are lots if you go to our website and click on pets. Thanks Peri, it's not to me either, but there are plenty of good folks on here with very big problems and I wanted to acknowledge that. Website: www.goldenappledesign.com/blog

No, I give up. Let her do it too. Haven't found a new word in hours of off and on visits. Have 46 to go. It's an hour until my usual bedtime. Not going to sweat it.

2:15 pm

I will plod along with the grid

2:16 pm

That's the spirit, peri. Or give up if you don't feel like completing it yourself. How many to go?

2:16 pm

24 left, Haz and I will not give. I WILL complete the grid.

The vet agreed with myassessment (I have worked for vets). Lump doesn't move when manipulated, is hard, is not particularly painful, and is irregularly shaped. But there is still a chance it's benign. Low, but there.

2:17 pm

You're on the home straight.

2:17 pm

will not give up, is what I meant to say

2:19 pm

how old is your kitty, Monkey?

2:19 pm

I'll help as much as I can, peri.

2:19 pm

gorgeous kitty!

2:19 pm

thanks Haz

We think 10. Give or take a year.

2:19 pm

going down the alphabet, in the L words now.

2:19 pm

My cat is 12 and a half

We've had her for 7 years.

2:19 pm

Hi all... So whatever happened to Lickety?

He's on vacation.

2:20 pm

It depends whose story you believe, Sam.

2:20 pm

in jail?

My former cat lived to be 22 (much of that with my mom after I moved out).

2:20 pm

kidnapped by alien dingoes

2:21 pm

the dingo ate his baby?

2:21 pm

eaten by a grasshopper

2:21 pm

Some say he's in an open prison. Alien dingoes feature too often to be just a myth.

She seemed stupid to most people but after many years of thought I think she had no sense of smell.

SCSI is sofetr than any rabbit.

2:21 pm

wow, 22, that is really old for a cat, isn't it

2:21 pm

alien dingoes are quite prevalent

2:22 pm

so sad. alien dingoes ruin your internet connection

I've met them up to 23. But yes, it's like a human reaching 98 like my aunt did.

2:23 pm

I love my cat but not sure I want her to live that long

2:23 pm

the oldest cat was 36

WOW!!!!!!

2:23 pm

36? really, Ata?

2:24 pm

I have had Zoe-Anne since she was a baby. Never had a cat this long

2:24 pm

apparently so!

2:24 pm

Hello everyone. I've just finished the grid and the stats are in my profile for anyone that wants them.

2:25 pm

hi, Jacula

When they get REALLY old they get oddly light. They are like air. You have to be careful petting them if they're standing up. But old, old cats have a certain wisdom I rarely see anywhere else. Sometimes in goats.

2:25 pm

Hello Jacula! Beloved still watching the darts? I hope he's not ordering bling from the shopping channel.....

2:25 pm

hi Jac!

2:25 pm

hullo all!

2:25 pm

LOL, Haz., no.

Hi there!

2:25 pm

hey that's great...thank you jacula

2:25 pm

I bet he feels naked compared to all those darts players.

2:26 pm

Never trust a man who wears more jewellery than you do.

2:26 pm

We're about to watch TV together.

I'm doing that right now, Jac!

2:27 pm

Haz - he's not really one for 'bling' but I know what you mean about the darts players.

2:27 pm

They wouldn't be high on my list of desirable men.

2:27 pm

Nor mine, Haz.

2:28 pm

And have you seen the crowds? They're the ones who haven't got onto the Jeremy Kyle show.

2:28 pm

Must be off now. Hav e a good evening all of you.

2:28 pm

My inner snob is showing.

2:28 pm

Have a good evening, Jacula!

2:29 pm

Waves to Haz's inner snob. Byeeee.xx

2:30 pm

first no5/10 please

2:30 pm

I had to watch Jeremy Kyle yesterday *shudder*

2:30 pm

NM found it

2:30 pm

14 left, bbs to finish

2:30 pm

Byee!

2:31 pm

You had to watch? Was it very bad?

2:31 pm

awful!!

2:31 pm

its a big chav fest

2:31 pm

How many DNA tests did they fit in?

2:31 pm

2!

2:32 pm

Good going! Any lie detectors?

2:32 pm

crossys back:)

2:32 pm

Hello cross!

2:33 pm

nooooo just domestic violence and swearing and security and and and

2:33 pm

And shouting over each other and never listening to anybody?

2:34 pm

hi mr hair!

2:34 pm

yep!!!

2:34 pm

one would think you've watched it by your suspiciously accurate description!

2:35 pm

Hand on heart, I've never watched a full show. I've seen five minutes here and there and concluded that it's not my idea of entertainment.

2:36 pm

I've just been going through Monkey's blog -- what a treat!

2:36 pm

If anything, it's blatant manipulation of people who are too caught up with the idea of being on TV to realise that their problems should remain private.

2:36 pm

I only ever watch it at sister's cos she loves it. It's cringeworthy!

2:37 pm

yes, that's what I don't like

2:37 pm

haz, what is a navel hero?

2:38 pm

Dear goodness, let me check.

2:38 pm

lmao

2:38 pm

what happened to babble clues?

2:38 pm

Monkey -- if you're there -- I do understand about your cat, having lost my nearly-19-yr-old in May

2:38 pm

lickety split

2:38 pm

Lickety is on holiday for 2 weeks -- back next week. There are clues in BabAnon

2:39 pm

funny, sam

2:39 pm

humor eases the pain

2:39 pm

So much for my proof-reading skills. Naval hero is installed in his rightful position.

2:40 pm

just checking haz, before I started fantasizing

2:40 pm

darn, must go! back later, I hope

2:40 pm

Maybe a navel hero is a hero contemplating his belly button?

2:40 pm

Oh, don't fantasize. We only deal with hard reality here.

2:41 pm

there's a word for that - Omphaloskepsis

2:41 pm

*puts grid to bed*

2:41 pm

There's a word on that BBC list for that. As offered by Knight.

2:41 pm

Omphaloskepsis- meditating about one's navel

2:41 pm

Knight> I see so, lol

2:41 pm

bbc list?

2:42 pm

yep

2:43 pm

stting up this flickr is annoying as heck:((

2:43 pm

There's an interesting article on www. bbc.co.uk on 50 favourite words.

2:43 pm

*looking

2:43 pm

Let me get the reference for you. Some nice words, including the one you've just cited.

2:43 pm

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/magazine/76 59954.stm

2:44 pm

2:44 pm

2:44 pm

She's beaten me to it.

2:44 pm

2:48 pm

Resulting in runningnoserespiratorytractdisorder.

2:48 pm

i have a unnatural fear of the rechargable batteries in my cordless mouse..makes my right hand sweat;)))

2:50 pm

2:50 pm

West Nile Virus has a lot to answer for.

2:50 pm

it really does

2:51 pm

Could we blame it for Peter Mandelson coming back?

2:52 pm

Maybe Gordon Brown, weakened by West Nile Virus, made the 'courageous' decision to restore Mandy to public life.

2:52 pm

those words on the list are entertaining. thanks for providing the link

2:52 pm

could my mouse have west nile??

2:53 pm

is the fi4 an fi4?

2:53 pm

I don't know whether it's a zoonotic virus or not.

2:54 pm

Hello again, folks.

2:54 pm

howdy vic

2:54 pm

Hello Vicuna!

2:54 pm

I don't see why not

2:54 pm

ill be glad when lickety returns

2:54 pm

hi Vicuna

2:55 pm

Don't you enjoy spending more time than usual with us, cross?

2:56 pm

but of course,the delightfull wit and chatting of events,important and trivial more than make up for the endless hors of banging my head against some evil grid;))

2:56 pm

(He's not answering, Haz. Be offended.)

2:56 pm

hours

2:56 pm

(This is his chance to prove how diplomatic he can be)

2:56 pm

(Oh, oops, he did answer. Don't be offended after all.)

2:56 pm

im slo typer vic..hunt and peck

2:56 pm

(Or, if you must, find something else at which to take offense.)

2:57 pm

Well said, cross. But when have we ever discussed trivial matters?

2:57 pm

Well, you beat me to it, cross, so I'm evidently slower!

2:57 pm

Good one, Haz. Be offended at his implications of triviality!

2:58 pm

i was talking bout my mouse battery phobia making my right hand sweat....

2:58 pm

(The diplomacy test gets harder)

2:58 pm

vic im offended at your offense of wanting other to be offended..its offensive;)

2:58 pm

I always did play offense.

2:58 pm

Again, well done, cross. Take all the blame yourself.

2:58 pm

bet mandelson failed that

2:58 pm

whew!

2:59 pm

I was a fast runner. It helps if you're going to be offensive.

3:00 pm

i have a phobia of the garlic crystals in those sea salt/roasted garlic spice grinders....

3:01 pm

And that's *certainly* not trivial!

3:01 pm

indeed! have you ever tried to seperate all that with a pair of tweezers while wearing oven mitts??

3:01 pm

No.

3:02 pm

well! the stories i could tell you....

3:02 pm

* Sits down cross-legged on the floor before crosshair. Puts on listening ears. *

3:03 pm

i don't hava a fear of shoe lace tips, but it disturbs me when the color of the tip is slightly different than the color of the lac

3:03 pm

but whats really a pain is this new flickr account! crossy foams at the mouth

3:04 pm

lol. Better stick with velcro shoes just to be on the safe side, KnightTime!

3:04 pm

good suggestion vicuna, i am wearing crocs for that very reason

3:04 pm

the tip colour differential is so that people like me dont take six hours frantically grping for the end of the shoeleace

3:04 pm

flickr is looovely

3:05 pm

good point crossy, that makes it easier for me to accept

3:05 pm

an aglet

3:05 pm

Velcro for you, too, then cross!

3:05 pm

crossy sends hate mail to flickr....

3:05 pm

is an aglet a baby ag?

3:05 pm

then tell me why it wont see my photo stream please....

3:06 pm

KnightTime's going to write a treatise on "The Trouble with Aglets"

3:06 pm

did you tick the boxes etc?

3:06 pm

a babt aglet is is a agee

3:06 pm

an aglet is a shoelace tip

3:07 pm

lol next halloween party,ill dress up as a aglet and the wife can be a grommet;))

3:07 pm

Whoa, crosshair! That's a little too suggestive!

3:07 pm

*after crossy'

3:07 pm

see if i can get her laced;)))

3:08 pm

*knighttime fantasizing again

3:08 pm

Have we talked about corsets lately?

3:08 pm

not yet..go ahead

3:08 pm

I think it's been an hour or two, Haz. Are we due for another round of cinching?

3:08 pm

not for a few hours

3:08 pm

mine is killing me

3:09 pm

lol

3:09 pm

lol knight too much www.tightlacing.com im thinking....

3:09 pm

That's because it's not supposed to go around your neck, KnightTime.

3:09 pm

yes, it has been about an hour

3:09 pm

It's just a subject that seems to occur now and again. I don't know why.

3:09 pm

that's better that the other place i was told to put it

3:10 pm

my question is who ties the final bow in the back if your single and alone?

3:10 pm

you tie it yourself behind your back!

3:10 pm

takes practice

3:11 pm

contortionists:/

3:11 pm

No one wears a corset properly without a personal maid.

3:11 pm

it's easy!

3:11 pm

Not really. Women are skilled at doing things behind their back to secure underpinnings etc.

3:11 pm

If you can tie it yourself, it isn't a corset. Just a glorified cummerbund.

3:12 pm

tht is what I was thinking Vic- Corsets are supposed to be tight arent they

3:12 pm

thought we WERE talking bout corsets...

3:12 pm

You need to be holding onto the back of the chair while the maid puts her knee in the small of your back.

3:13 pm

you can still tie them! even if you bring the laces back round to the front to tie :P

3:13 pm

Did personal maids spend all their spare time at the gym getting enough muscle power for the corset lacing?

3:13 pm

lunch time!

3:13 pm

Personal maids didn't have spare time... except one half day a month.

3:14 pm

the maids coud get even by going too tight and cutting and searing the ends:)

3:14 pm

Maybe they just had to build up their strength themselves then.

3:15 pm

Or by making the aglets unmatching just to irritate!

3:15 pm

evening all, maids is interesting but does anyone one have the ha 5/18 please

3:15 pm

not the doulbe vowel one

3:15 pm

ha5/18 - pl of ha4/8, which has an improbable double vowel and is worth 8 points.

3:16 pm

Oh. I take it all back.

3:16 pm

ha5/18 - either a plural for ha4/8 or ha plus the beginning of the swimming creature.

3:16 pm

And we're not talking mermaids

3:17 pm

Although it is somewhat mermaid-like in incorporating half a fi4.

3:17 pm

ta haz and going back to maids - didnt the victorians invent some sort of winding device to pull the corsets really tight

3:17 pm

crossy checks his fishing liscence,and notes that it does not have the mermaid exemption

3:17 pm

I don't suppose mermaids were much use at lacing corsets either.

3:17 pm

and they made themout of whalebone

3:17 pm

They probably did, Kazzer. It would make sense.

3:18 pm

Hard to put a knee in the small of someone's back when all you've got is a tail.

3:18 pm

no kazz,they used a instrument much like what hockey players use to tighten skate laces

3:18 pm

You make a good point, Vicuna. Mermaids would have been at a disadvantage in the personal maids job seeking situation.

3:19 pm

whats the icon today please

3:19 pm

maybe their tails were particularly strong

3:19 pm

Friday icon clues day.

3:19 pm

Take a word from the grid and make it an icon.

3:20 pm

check my flickr for a very silly Sily cat :)

3:20 pm

Oh definitely, Ata. But if your tails on the mistress's back it leaves you nothing to stand on.

3:20 pm

Check out this McCain/Palin video. McCain/http://bloggerinterrupted.com/2 008/10/video-the-mccain-palin-mob-in-s trongsville-ohio

3:20 pm

if they are not all being boiled in oil,i dont want to see it:/

3:20 pm

do they stand on their tails anyway??

3:21 pm

Cute pics, Ata. I like the one with the tongue hanging out - more silly than Sily.

3:21 pm

I don't think so. Unless they've got some sort of frame to help keep them upright.

3:21 pm

what is the difference betweek a trampoline and a politician?

3:21 pm

Not so much a zimmer as a swimmer.

3:21 pm

hi all :) 8 to go and think i need clues for all of em :(

3:21 pm

Hi Kaz

3:22 pm

she has a new toy :)

3:22 pm

hi Kaz

3:22 pm

you take off your shoes to jump on a trampoline

3:22 pm

They lounge, usually. Brushing their hair. But we're talking about their qualifications as ladies' maids, when they'd need to comb someone else's hair.

3:23 pm

oh found two more...amazing how i get fixated in looking in just one direction!

3:23 pm

Go Kaz GO

3:23 pm

3:34 pm

Ahhh.... I don't spend enough time in there, I guess!

3:34 pm

3:34 pm

I agree Kje.. maybe we can fence pigs outside

3:34 pm

and chase away the cabana boys and masseurs

3:34 pm

aaaahhh - ata... we can have our own iberica ham... good idea

3:34 pm

see? goodies!

4:05 pm

h**: a flat bottom boat for carrying heavy loads. See the ship? It is a h**.

4:06 pm

...malta's is aesthetically pleasing as well

4:06 pm

Ours tend to be Eastern European but it is terribly sad

4:07 pm

sadly slavery is alive & well in the world

4:07 pm

they had a video (taken with hidden camera) of little girls , 7 or 8, in a brothel, saying "I do yum yum and boom boom" That means oral sex , and intercourse

4:08 pm

they are basically prisoners, slaves

4:08 pm

they found some of these brothels in San Fransciso

4:09 pm

there's a new documentary about it, called "Call + Response"

4:10 pm

I thiink any sick bastard irrefutably caught partaking in such should be castrated

4:11 pm

yes, pug, preferably by whoever wants to do the job, like me for example, with a hot poker and a machete

4:11 pm

no too quick something more slow & painfull

4:12 pm

well it's a dull machete

4:12 pm

more like a really dull steak knife with a few spritzes of silver nitrate between cuts....

4:13 pm

the hot poker is for poking the balls

4:13 pm

over and over and over and over and over

4:13 pm

how much ya wanna bet all the male players are gripping the jewels right now?

4:14 pm

why?

4:14 pm

lol lil - crumble back typing with one finger!

4:14 pm

if they would just keep a thought like that in their little pinheads in the heat of the moment, there would be fewer sexual crimes

4:15 pm

pinheads

4:15 pm

just the mention of pain to the area seems to cause that reaction in most men

4:17 pm

hi all...

9:28 pm

I'm getting my puppy next week; trying to get the house ready for our pickup....breeder recommends "Canidae" brand food - does it matter what kind of food I buy (may be a dumb question, feell free to educate me!)....

9:31 pm

ty needed that too

9:31 pm

Ls grey! left side is in the shade!!!!

9:31 pm

Congrats, AS, what are you getting?

9:32 pm

*feel, that is

9:32 pm

there are actually many good brands & many not too good

9:32 pm

the last an5?

9:32 pm

now a passel of N words

9:32 pm

...and stid's rounding the bend...

9:32 pm

I'm getting a glorified, expensive, mutt - I think you may remember the chat...it's a goldendoodle/labradoodle mix ... a mini, so it'll grow to be 25lbs

9:32 pm

if the breeder is happy with it it's probably good but be sure it fits your budget as well

9:32 pm

add vowel to AN before

9:33 pm

nice, As....if you change brands, make sure you do so gradually...

9:33 pm

well, could you clue the an4 then?

9:33 pm

the breeder does "real" food ... I'm not going that route

9:33 pm

and that its' readily available as swapping brands frequently is hard on the dogs system

9:33 pm

oh...might help, huh, harp?

9:33 pm

i hate to ask for 4 letter clues but there you go!

9:33 pm

a poodamutt As? LOL

9:35 pm

I need one of the three na 4/4 in a row before the na 4/7... I have the dog-nurse from Peter Pan and plural a short form of that

9:35 pm

yw

9:35 pm

I won't cheap out on puppy (actually, HER name is going to be Ringo)....

9:35 pm

(oh, and the vet gave her stamp of approval for it)

9:35 pm

if you belong to a Sams club the exceed lamb & rice is quite good & not horribly expensive

9:35 pm

we use the dick van patton food for lucky, his allergies make most of the cheaper foods a bad choice.

9:35 pm

I remember my dog having science diet, but I don't hear anyone using that anymore

9:36 pm

na = grandma; pl; mult - 2nd vowel

9:36 pm

lovely name for a critter, As!

9:36 pm

I think it's still sold, I see it at the vet's

9:36 pm

its still around but very costly

9:36 pm

last one is na + **trich (animal)

I use wellness

9:36 pm

yep. that was it! down to 12

9:37 pm

OK, so bottom line is find one "good one" and stick with it....??? oh boy - get ready, I'll be asking a LOT of questions next week! We get her next Sunday

9:37 pm

one more N... *refers to list to figure out which one*

hey stiddy

9:37 pm

go stid go

9:37 pm

just like a new Mom, all nerves

9:38 pm

she'll be fine, As. just don't switch foods suddenly, and watch for allergic symptoms when you introduce new things. lucky has seizures when he gets beef... and started itching on the venison recently (now on duck and sweet potato until he calms down)

9:38 pm

exactly.... I feel so out of my element.... just like I felt exactly 10 years ago (just months before my twins were born)

9:38 pm

I was that way with Koda...I've been fearful of dogs my entire life...(sister was bitten once)...he's my very first pup...

9:38 pm

hey TEA!!!! I got the flyer you emailed me! wish I had time to be creative right now...

yay! I hope it wasn't too presumptuous

9:39 pm

make sure there are plenty of chewies available for teething so when it goes for a shoe or other "off limits item" you can gently scold remove & replace with permissable one.

9:39 pm

it's an NE... the 6 please?

9:39 pm

not at all! I was so pleased you thought of me, because you know I am interested.

9:39 pm

ne6 = man's name (ne**** riley)

my fur-baby gets wellness lamb and rice. She can't eat too much chicken and she gets all she can handle from her cookies.

9:39 pm

I have a few chew toys, will get more! omg omg omg

Kennel train!!!!!

9:40 pm

I don't recommend rawhide!!!

9:41 pm

but save your sanity AS, and DON'T get squeaky toys.... remember when the kids were little and played with their toys incessantly????

9:41 pm

Hey, I have a squeaky toy...but it's mostly for outside play "ball fetch"

9:41 pm

and the other bit is check the toys frequently for breakage and remove immediately anything with rips, breaks or chunks...

9:41 pm

hooves have none of the draw backs / dangers of rawhide last much longer & more bang for the buck

9:41 pm

OK slow down! lol ... I'm off to watch grey's while I still have MY time!! yes, I bought ONE squeaky toy, and told the kids THAT's IT!!

9:41 pm

pini, I am confused by the clue for the ne 6

9:42 pm

the only ne 6 name I know is newman...

9:42 pm

Oh, and if you play tug-o-war...make sure YOU win; if you need to, ease off and let go, but don't let her pull it from you

9:42 pm

or newton, I suppose

Crates are wonderful. we have driven and flown across Canada several times in the past 9 years and baby knows shes good with her "house"

9:42 pm

or admiral NE 6!!!! thanks!!!!

9:42 pm

good luck in finishing.... and that's for the tips!! will keep y'all posted! We're excited to get our little girl named Ringo!!

9:42 pm

down to NINE!!!!!

9:42 pm

ne6 = the yucky girl on Little House on the Prairie (NE*) + not dau, but ***

9:42 pm

go stid go!

9:43 pm

thanks, that is, not that's! LOL

9:43 pm
