i got on the plane last night to come home from my boozy weekend away, sat down on the seat and did the seatbelt up and tightened it - then i realised i hadnt had to request that awful embarrasing extension belt bit that i used to hve to ask for when i was a fatty lol

hi mrp with the big heart!!
i did - i misbehaved lol
should we change your name to nawtykiwi?
hahahahaha
this may sound silly but i didnt go up there with that intention but it happened and im not sorry it happened but it was just nice to know that someone out there found me desirable enough to want to have sex with
and the even funnier thing is that the guy i misbehaved with is the last guy i misbehaved with 18 years ago before i met the ex
and thats enough of that story lol
how many te's please

We knew you still had it Kiwi! Good on you, glad you let loose.

Oh well I guess it was going to be a day for work and stuff anyway so a small one is good, not what I wanted though.
noooo I wanted a nice big one
I am happy with this one
Very red sunrise this morning and the winds are picking up.
Ours was VERY bright yellow. We didn't get the red though
sounds lovely...unless you are a sailor
Catch you in a while, I have to go and get dressed and drop some paperwork round to a clients shortly. TTFN

and toooo many Ds
hi everyone
hi Andree
hi Andree!
that too
hah, found a 6
18 left just opened the list, weird looking grid today
di5/12 please
just started the grid, sorry
**** von Teese. plural
thx ata, i miss the plurals every time
:)
I'd like to skip my turn and change all my letters instead.
good idea sprite
:)
i'd like that 7 to be a figment of my imagination
I have to ask. Is that a clue?
noooo
lol... ok, thanks.
a boring word
it starts with te and ends in s. thats all I know
that is a clue
oh man, I found it!
it is boring
ah, you already said that, Andree. Sorry. Was absorbed by my own cleverness, hehehe.
well i was pretty pleased when i found it so you should be too
I was especially glad it was a real word :)
lol, and I found it because I was looking for the lone T in the bottom left corner. Which is still not grey.
(not asking for clue, happily blundering around)
i know sprite its usually you giving us clues
Andree, I shamelessly use the clues given in chat, I even scroll back the chat when I really get stuck :)
as we all do
i need the te5/12 after the boring word please
lizardy babblet :)
babble makes us all shameless
sorry, don't have that one either yet. Only one before it now, lol, my lonely T is grey now.
that was a stupid word
I should know that babblet, I know I should know it.
I know it :)
thx ata
i think i read somewhere it is the only word in english with ii
it is the vowely one, thanks Ata
oooh really?
skiing?
I seem to remember radii
or something like that
trust you to find another haz
and medii and aalii
Sorry! It's just that I see words in my head or something.
i heard it on a radio programmne, guess they were wrong
and hi haz , how are you
and te6 :P
I think so too, Andree
Good morning/evening all. I'm well, thanks, Andree.
thanks Ata, lol. Another almost forgotten plural.
morning
Andree, I checked a2z and there are lots of words with this double vowel, lol. Even (seriously) an 11-letter (un) word
oooo what?
triiodothyronines
wow!
*grin*
three toothed somethings
Wouldn't that be the easy one to clue?
you'd manage, Haz!
well i stand corrected, just shows that as well as not believing a word from the newspapers the radio too!!!
*sings* she is the clueing queen
looked it up. 1: Biochemistry. a thyroid hormone, C15H12I3NO4, similar to thyroxine but several times more potent. 2. Pharmacology. a preparation of this hormone, used in treating hypothyroidism.
We'll have a Pollyanna moment and be glad that we don't have to!
thanks for saying it, Andree, because I'd never have known these things otherwise! You just made me smile all over.
3 left
the illness being: 1. deficient activity of the thyroid gland. 2. the condition produced by a deficiency of thyroid secretion, resulting in goiter, myxedema, and, in children, cretinism.
brb Hobbit wants a walk. Except she can't have one cos we're waiting for the electrician to arrive. So I'll run her round the garden :)
smart move, Ata.
hm, french yes plural is not valid.
wi6/36 please
in fact i need both wi 6's
rhymes with the diary of Br***** Jones
sorry, only have one so far
thx sprite
wi6 - starts like one who has lost her husband, ends with 'to pass away'
thanks for telling me there is a second :)
That was for wi6/36 by the way.
and got it.
ah, but already clued by Haz.
It's a hangman's noose, apparently.
cute
and thats fireworks for me
wtg Andree!
Congratulations Andree!
and i have to go, my turn to cook and daughter is hungry
have fun, Andree, and enjoy.
Enjoy your meal and the rest of your evening, Andree.
just threw the wontons in the soup
yummy
Those Wontons know not to mess with you.
i grew my own chinese vegies and snow peas, have a great veg garden going since we moved in here
dutied should count. that is a dutied item, you must pay the tariff.
that sounds delicious, Andree
hi hursh :) You have a point there.
bye all and happy babbling
back
My dictionary seems to think that dutiable fits the bill, but I know what you mean.
Welcome back, Ata.
oh what a cute yawning sily
Hobbit shall have a proper walk later to compensate for the indignities she will have to undergo later today
she has far too many whiskers when she yawns!
Are we talking vet's visit for posterior proddings?
that's the one
and to go and assess a small lump she has that I'm absolutely sure is just a fatty lump, but it's better to go and check
Yes, better be on the safe side.
she's going to hate me!
But stand firm. It's for her own good. Perhaps an extra spoonful of gruel this morning?
maybe. if she's really good
the nice thing is that the vets is just a few minutes from the beach, so I always go straight down there and let her have a 5 minute madspell
I'm sure she will be if she knows that there's an extra spoonful in store.
wb Ata, was afk myself for a few minutes
I don't know ... she just tried to dig up the driveway ...
Morning all back from the outside world.
Good morning FMitch. How was the outside world?
fifi!
hi FM! Did you have fun there?
Very mid but my its blowing up a storm, lots of grey clouds scudding around.
It's a great day here for drying washing.
Hi spritey
Right lets see what this grid is like then *dives in*
It's a nice one for a short grid.
*no splashes* Im getting better!
interesting at certain moments, FM, to me anyway ;)
may i just say, i don't think i could create a more annoying little grid if i tried!
try harder then, hursh ;)
well good start 1st word is a w6
And there you have it. The diversity of opinion on this grid!
sprite, did you get that lone t yet?
hey all
probably all down hill from here :)
hi bfsog
Good morning bf.
well, can you help me figure what the bottom T word is?
Anyone doing anything exciting today or is it usual Mondays all round? Hi bf
sprite - Independance Day was on last night, in the UK at least
no, you will rise one notch before the end, FM
oh great, bfsog! Did you enjoy it again?
te6 - almost performed as a child's playmate?
yeah its good, especially "hello boys... i'm back...!" line
it is autumn holiday in the Netherlands, kids are home and hubby has taken the week off too.
thanks!
Oh I watched it (again) bf and Dirty Dancing was on at the same time
You're welcome.
How nice sprite :)
my favorite part is where he says"Welcome to Earth!" and then goes on muttering all the way through the desert.
FMitch - have you been watching the Stephen Fry in America series?
Yes, is't it great!
I watched an awfully funny programme about bad dancing
Mum has just stated rading his autobiography, Im next on the list to borrow it.
It really is very enjoyable. He could recite the phone directory and I'd listen, but his commentary is so much more entertaining than that!
and there is a new series of QI starting um this month I think
I'm waiting to see the whole thing at once when he's finished. I dont know why, I just feel like watching it that way
I want to see the episode he's in Oregon though
lol Ata
He needn't apply for a job for the MIami Tourist Board any time soon.
loool I heard that
He was rather scathing
Wasn't he just?
good day all!
Good morning rep.
hi reparteena
hi rep!
Every time I find a word it seems to come from a tile that I am not working on - is this hows its going to be?
yes FM
thanks :( Hi rep
I'm afraid so, FMitch. Tiles light up in places unexpected.
good morning, yet another teeny grid. It seems we are suffering from a grid diet.
Hey Haz, Sprite, Ata, -- how's it going? 66 words??!!
Sorry, red. PB straightaway for you.
and that is offff to the sinbin with our red... morning hun!
Flipping heck found the 7 was just about to say it was a phantom!
hi FM
wtg FM :)
Oh darn it all, I even had that word....
sorry guys.
or should I say *grin* I was about to do an Ata?
yep!
sprite, your doorknob changed?
*giggles*
no red, it did not?
I thought we had the same knob...well its the same knob, but different.
still the same disney char as yours.
that is what I said last night... same char, other icon. I love it.
I forgot what the theme was today until I saw jilli type in the log 'nice knob you have there' to flosey.
loooooooool
lolol FM
Did you email GW sprite?
I did, FM, with all the birthday icons I could collect from Babble, some with text and all. Don't think he has seen it yet though.
great, it will be a nice surpise for him :)
and the single U finished my grid... fireworks
congrats sprite!
he is certainly someone that appreciates good thoughts :)
wooo! sprite
this grid comes with it's own insults!!! how entertaining.
lol red
I just found id***
any clues needed before I go and try to be a social member of this family?
Not fo rme thanks sprite, HAve a lovely day.
have a lovely day, spritey!
Nor for me, thanks.
Hey red :)
I just started and am about the leave again anyway.
no thanks sprite. enjoy!
Hi FM.
you all have a great day then, and enjoy the good things. *hugs*
urf, electrician man is going to be here all day. I hate that. I can't nap or feel ill with someone else in the house!
that is awful, Ata. *sends crystal shell to put around Ata to keep electricity man out*
Whats he doing Ata?
That's probably why all those Victorian heroines with the vapours were able to get on with swooning - no electricians to cramp their style.
um. I'm actually not quite sure. Something upstairs! Husband wants to do something or other to the lights in our bedroom, and I think it's a stupid idea, so I didn't listen to the details!
probably spotlights onto the mirror on the ceiling
lol lynxxx
he wants to get better lights in the room, and the room is in the oast turret so it has a really high ceiling, half way up are big old beams. I said to put spotlights under the beams. Sensible, yes?
Maybe disco lights?
Oh no. He wants spotlights *above* the beams
I stop listening at that point after telling him that was stupid
Oh yes one of thos big morror balls!
*mirror
Never stop listening to your husband, except when he's snoring.
twose
eek!
well he refused to believe it was stupid lol so I just told him to get on with it. He can realise it's stupid and then do what I suggested in the first place
I can see it now. Coloured lights, mirrored ceiling, glitter ball descending from the ceiling. It'll be great. Really in keeping with an oast house.
TY FM!
and then I'll just say I told you so and please listen to me in the first place!
don't forget the flock wallpaper and guilded cherubs
Hello Babblers
Is Stringfelllow available for interior design hints?
*gasp* my bedroom is beautiful. It's Wedgewood blue and off-white, and utterly beautiful :)
Good evening loredana.
hello Lore
66 words? Yuk. G'd morning Babblers
And yet you allow your husband in there, Ata?
Ata my bedroom is wedgewood blue too!!! Hi lore and Lori
Good morning Lori. It's small but beautifully formed.
but seriously, how do you expect lights to light one's reading material when shone upwards into a big turret? I dont' get it
yayyy!
Wedgwood blue is all very well, but a few coloured lights will warm it up beautifully.
Nothing a few well placed mirrors won't fix Ata.
I do actually have a huge pink mirrorball, but D won't let me put it up LOL
If you painted the mirrorball Wedgwood blue?
I'd set up a ridiculous matrix of mirrors, to a)irritate him and 2) make my point
hi Lori
and you admit to owning a mirror ball in front of the whole world! *faints*
***averts eyes from grid in hopes it gets bigger while I don't look at it***
All those mirrors would give him an advantage the next time he tries to cut his own hair.
I have a very very bright powerful torch that I use to read by, and will continue to use after his stupid lights are put up. That will suitably annoy him!
mirrorballs are good cat toys!
diddie wants her teddie
like a million laser pointers at once!
nice recovery there Ata
*bows*
Ata - have you ever considered wearing a caver's light? Husband wears one when he's doing calvings etc at night when farm lights aren't enough.
I do have one, actually!
Well, there you are! Bed-reading problem solved.
or string lights around a tray that holds your book.
You could train Hobbit to be the bearer of light. She'd look cute with a caver's light strapped round her head.
Not so much a Guide Dog as a Light up Dog.
awwwww she would
except Hobbit's not Allowed In There
haha)
Oh, I forgot. She's confined to Kennels under The New Regime.
It's good that Ata's not bitter, and has already planned out her move. Marriage is like chess ya' know.
I never did learn to play chess.
says the dog that spent the night curled up warming my butt!
Indeed. Ata allowed far too many liberties to the beasts prior to the regime change.
She's made a rod for her own back.
where *is* the dog? she's gone suspiciously quiet ...
BBL dinner is served
She's been reading the log and has worked out what posterior proddings means. Keep the dictionary away from her, Ata!
Later Lynx!
See you lynxxx.
probably!!
Ah well, duty calls so I'd better take myself off and do something useful. Have a good day!
have a great day yourself Haz lovely to see you here
Bye!
Bye Haz see you later
Productivity is highly overrated. Later Haz
bye Haz
bye dear!

what the heck does "paradigm shift" actually mean?
found t27, thanks
tedit
ups, sorry
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paradigm_ shift
In the later part of the 1990s, 'paradigm shift' emerged as a buzzword, popularized as marketing speak and appearing more frequently in print and publication.[3] In his book, Mind The Gaffe, author Larry Trask advises readers to refrain from using it, and to use caution when reading anything that contains the phrase. It is referred to in several articles and books[4][5] as abused and overused to the point of becoming meaningless.
ha! annoying man on Sky
te5.12 & 6.21 uses double vowel miusen
3 left all e's from the bottom left hand corner
3 left, 1 d, 1 t, 1 s
Not looking for clues though.
the husband says that it means that your current mode of thinking moves to a totally different way of thinking
Oh we all do that every day with the grid :)
that we do
poor silverclaw. electrician guy is drilling. she's not happy
I can empathise there, glad to say the builders are finished drilling here
poor Sily, she has such huge eyes and doesn't know where to hide
looks like I will have to list for the last 3 :(
no! all the e's are normal
you'll slap yourself FM
seriously normal
ok, just one pointer then are they ed's?
yep
yepyep

thanks, back to the search then. yes

the ed6 remains elusive
slap slap

no
OK put me out of my misery PLEASE, a hint perhaps?

ed6/27 bf

past tense of Mr Fisher that married Liz Taylor
Thanks lynxx couldn't have done it without your help :)
I just thought you were spinning Ata :)
it was a good clue Ata...though I couldn't find dervishes in the grid
*sigh* I won't help anymore. *creeps off*
LOOOL
sorry, hugs Ata to make up for it.
*giggle*
Are you done too yet?
noooo. too busy trying to help CLUE LOL
lol
*Hands Ata salt* rub this in why not ;)

my 4 are being stubborn too
I will!
is there a de?
No
wow!
da di and du's only
missing a di then. joy.

Frank Sinatra humming in the background

*whirls* *dances*
Congratulations Ata Hari!
ty LOrikins!
Oh good clue Ata *grin*
***deer in headlights type look***
I thought so :P
It's OK Lori, I missed a clue Ata gave earlier and she probably won't let me forget ;)
and rightly so, may I say!
its just so much fun teasing FM
Of course, it's all part of my babble job spec
Don't ya' just hate that? i think we've all been there at some point, except maybe Haz. She's perfect. :p
i only tease people i love really!
I'm not liking the corner s, so s is for skip
lol
phone Back in a bit
This grid is a bit te 7, IMO
urf. I want to go and get some nice lunch, but then I'll feel guilty that I don't get any for electrician boy (I've known him for years, si he's not just a random guy from the phone book)
I agree, lori
Ahh, that stoopid triple vowel t word. Ack
or leaving him alone with the monsters
heh heh he, Spangle and Silverclaw will keep an eye on him.....
and pl
Spangle/?!!!
maybe he brought along his own lunch and just wants teaa
***WHat in holy **** did I say that for?***
I'm hoping. I hate eating lunch and stuff in front of people who are working!
Hobbit and Spangle, so similar. ***ack***
looooool. the grid befuzzles you
don't worry, I've called Hobbit 'Spangle' when I've called her just after talking about Spangle online!
***grumbles about brain freeze and shuts up***
do you ever call your kids by each other's names?
Ahh, forgot the repetative ti combo. 'Nuther t left to go (there is no s or d in this grid)
the Ds are certainly the worst
I have become my Mother! I start with uni, and eventually name the right kid.
loooool :)
that's the joy of being an only child!
uni's in 3rd year of College, and she's still the first name I say....
did you like my KoG email? I didn't think you'd mind me leaving Uni and others off it *grin*
: D
when I'm up at Claire's, all the dogs are "Muffin Willow Hobbit"
don't laugh, I sometimes go through the dogs names, past & present, when 'naming' the kids too - its just old age though
Is there an o that's stoopid? (as compared to me)
I knew I was getting old!
ear infection, lori
I'm not laffin', because I have occasionally added pets names to the list.
Doh. Thanks Ata
Shoulda' seen that. Ack
I know I've called husband Hobbit before
Ever called him Spangle? :p
not *yet*!
nor SIlverclaw
Done. And must be off, Husband is driving me out of the lounge, playing along with what must be a 20 yo show of The Shadows. Bye!
lucky you, lynxxx!
and yay!
Congratulations Lynx! take care.
good morning Babblers
this grid is over run with d's and vowels!
congrats lynxxx and have a great day
G'd morning Nono!
hi nono
I can't help but giggle happily everytime I see your name, nono. My favourite TV show as a kid had a robot called Nono in
really Ata do you remember the name of the show?
I have it on DVD!! It was called Ulysses 31 in the UK. I don't think it ever got over to the US. It was a Japanese import
you are probably right Ata, I don't recall any program with that name
the little robot had a little song in the title track. "My name's Nono, small robot you know, friend of Ul-yyyyy-sses"
sometimes i feel like a robot lol
don't we all?
yes, I suppose we do. :)
any tu words?
Returns to the babble fold after long phone call
ok I've been typing away at these words for about 30, 40 minutes now and I only have the O's left but they are not making themselves known
tu4/5
That's it! Thanks FM Go Nono go!
Got it, thanks again FM. Now 3 d's which'll prob'ally be painful
da6/24
Oops, brb
good morning everyone
good morning all
nasty grid today
good morning Eva
not liking the D's at all
da6?
hi Eva and Merrrrrrp!
morning Peri
I've been searching for that tu4/5 for ages. One would think there couldn't be that many options, but obviously I'm missing the right one. Over and over and over.
most of the d's not too bad
Mrrrrp
Morning Eva, Merp and peri and Nono :)
help with da6 please
little NZ birdies
thanks but that is not helping
finally!!!! Thanks
it builds off the da4/6 peri
have that, will keep looking
add vowels
_ before _ except after c peri
dite
Hmm, a da 6/24 have that Ata. I'm hoping the 3 d's left, are normal
sorry
compared to that one, yes, they are, lori
Good, and they're all from the upper right d, so I'll just tackle that.....
yay, done sudoku too :)
Now what do we do Ata?
good question
wtg Ata, that was my first achievment this morning
morning ladies;)
ackkkkkk finally found the last o! FIREWORKS
I also wrote a silly little sci-fi story for A based on a dodgy bar on Mars. She's having a bad few days. And likes silly stories
hi crossy!
I always do sudoku first Nono with my wake up mug of tea :)
morning Crossy
Congrats Nono!! Hello crossy
got the da6 thank you
That Ata is like a rocket scientist or sumpin'.! G'd morning cross
yaa for nono! 21 gun salute for you!
Congratulations Nono!
same here FM but with coffee rather than tea
now I suppose I should get dressed and get on with life. Happy babbling everyone
Bye Nono, have a good day
Later Nono, have a good one!
"Have tea, will babble" - hi all !

Fair enough, knew there would be method in your madness ;)
lol FM... knew you'd understand... mwa ha ha ...
*grin* oh brb, email from client needs attending to.

yep cross, thanks - probably last one though :-(
what's his name Montreal?
crossy shudders at the thought of his 14 year old deamon spawn from hell someday having kids...
ahhh (phanmd)) - such a wonderful momemnt to share with your sister - was named Jessy
they do grow up cross, they do !
ata shudders at the thought of babies :P

still, an important moment was shared phan...
My spawnlings have pretty much put Uni off reproduction. :p
babies are sooo beautiful Ata, all perfectly formed, all innocence, smelling roses in such a minuscule size: what a sight !
Hi

To be or not to be, that is the question!
ty herin & hi all!
Whether tis' nobler in the mind to suffer
Not to be
the slings and arrows of outragous fortune
thanks Annie although my part in this goes back a few years...lol
phad - are you clueing or commenting (id5/12)
or to take arms against a sea of troubles
and by opposing end them
both, Jindigo
lol

Gremlins had a go at my babble chat so so so sorry
from you Lady, np

I just realised what happened as i refreshed. Seriously not liking this broadband. Please don't. I is sorry.
lol - reached halfway - time for a break - BBL - happy babbling all "POOF"
*giggles*
(gosh i am so embarrassed)
you should have blamed pandydora
Atalante, I am extremely computer illiterate...am now on AOL...will send message if needed
lolol - "ACTUAL POOF"
I sound like a telegram
Pandora is elsewhere
even you can do this, annie. just look down to the bottom of this page, "Got any comments or questions? Send them". Click there!
(trying to claw things sans sharp and pointy claws)
Atalante, I know that...it was while I was on firefox I sent a message to DrG and I dont have a firefox address and wouldnt take my aol address..so went back to aol...am I making sense here?
You make sense Annie
herin, thanks...i really appreciate that
it should take your aol address, you should be able to write "sausages and mash" in there as your email cos its not an essential field. note - *should* :)
and you don't have firefox email addys - just fyi! - you use whatever your email happens to be, whether hotmail, aol, gmail etc
Ata, lol...okay...that is what I thought but I kept getting a warning in RED on top of page that my email address was invalid....I do not fight with computers ...they usually win...but will try again if needed
weird! but yes, you were right :) in theory :)
just trying to explain what *shoudl* happen!
Ata...I appreciate that too...I was surprised when I got that "invalid" address
Trolls annoy the heck out of me
oh yes
crossy comes up for air i use g-mail for all my normal stuff and msn for all my junk and fluff mail;)
especially ones that press return a lot
Are the trolls back? They were here yesterday.
howdy scrabbs:)
there does seem to be a troll convention in town lately
Hi Scrabbler, How are you doing?
Hello everyone. I use Yahoo, with one address for friends, and one for professional/non-personal stuff.
OH
well im glad i was awol yesturday
That explains it, pugmama. And they have been instructed to use capital letters, no punctuation, and many naughty words.
I am sad, Annie, and talking to Mary all of the time.
Did you see her story and pic, Annie?
and you said she was a young mother as well? ((((
Scrabbs, Yes I did and it made me cry...the sadness of it all..when you speak to her tell her I still pray for her
39, with an just-turned 8 yr old girl, not quite 4.5 yr old boy, and the baby turned 1 just 6 days before Mary died.
Scrabbler i did see that link. Very Sad
It is not a death that is easily "accepted".
very tragic indeed,those poor babies
my prayers go out to her family..at the princess margret cancer lodge in toronto i see all of this,it makes my times here seem very trivial indeed..:((
Yep, I now believe that I can handle anything.

Hello all
Hi Denny
hi denny
hi denny
Have there been some naughty visitors?
Suddenly the word id5 came into my mind. TY, trolls.
3 days running now
Some people just have nothing better to do...
thanks for id5 clue, could see that one
couldn't
for real! I thought I needed to get a life!
u do
Sprechen Sie Deutsch?
*sigh* I thought DrG usually stopped them?
this is my peaceful place what the deuce? please find some other more appropriate place to be a tool
Hi Jandel
Sie sind ein Blödian
he does, when he's online
Trällert zusammenfassen!

DrG really needs to give someone like Haz banning powers for when he's not online
who is this "drg" anyway?!
in gamespy.com we have 6 or so admins who can dispense with people like this
This troll reminds me of a 12 year old. Hopefully, they will have to go to school soon. Unfortunately, I have to go to work very soon too!
I think there should be a button to click if mutually clicked by at least 5 payed players would banish the offender
Hi Nef
good idea pug:))
Wer ist Arzt Gott?
Hi Scrabbler
we've all suggested it several times before
He is everywhere, Dummkopf, and he will soon block your IP address.
notice I said PAYED players as there are a few grey heads that are little better than trolls
problem is that everytime my rabbit obsession started id get tossed;)
wite
I'll stand up for you!
pb for nef!:)
not so crossy
No, crossy, I know that my bunnies are safe from you, and you would never really hurt them anyway.
Whoops! Off to the PB (and work) I go!
you are well liked dear
The left T is perplexing me.
have a good day nef;)
thats true scrabbs...though that ten pounder sounds facinating...:)
I was smooching him up yesterday. He is a lean bunny machine.
Scrabs, the left t starts with a male name. 6/27.
hey,that word works two ways;))
I have tried a few like that, amelu--I will keep trying.
may i please have a clue for the te, 5?
I do not have that either, clare
it can get very te***** to hunt for this word scrabbs but it appears it works from the top t as well as the bottom left one
the only te i have is the 7
I have te6/36
found that right off
mornin babblers!
Oh, that is what I have--te7/36. Sorry for the confusion.
Hi Eva
yeah, my last 2 are the te,5 and the final te 6 which i assume is a plural
ahh cool
hi eva
So I need a te5 and te6
morning, all. very quick grid this morning.
hi angel
Hi Angel
crossy goes into lurk mode....
t + 3 vowels + consonant
there are 2 te, 5
**Warning bunnies to be cautious for lurking Crossy**
no 2 te6 1 te5
lurking for words not wabbits today;)
thats right
the te6/27 starts from the left t.
mmm i have one cat in my lap looking at me,and the second chewing on one of my big toes.i better give them brekkies..brb
I am throughly confused now--the grid is making me crazy with I's, D's and T's.
ponders if the cat in the lap ever wears a hat?
Good day, FM.
Hi FM!
Greetings Scrabs and Annie :)
Hello FM
Hello Denny!
fireworks. whew!
yay for amelu!!!
can i please have a clue for the te5?
Yahooo for Amelu!!
I looked up the 3 te's that I needed as I was unable to monkey them.
congrats amelu!
a hat made of rabbit fur :P
Yayay Amelu
No, no, no, ata. Wool.
thanks! some of them are pretty wiggy...
dont have them yet, claire
te + vowels and a cons
fake rabbit fur of *course* :)

yay for pug!!!
yaa for pug! 21 gun salute for you!
Congrats pug - wow lots of fireworks at the mo :)
Viiiiiii!
Yay for pugmama!
yes,some chemo reacts badly to exessive amts of caffine
What's the news in Babbleland on this fine day?
stupid DI5/14 was the last, dumb word!
bad bad chemo! it's bad enough without taking away caffeine!!
i was ok with caffine,but i hear the chemo meds are tailor made for each person
we missed you Vi, umm, its an interesting grid, AsG has a puppy ... and its raning. Oh and it's National Autum holiday day or something similar in the Netherlands.
the worst part is tasting chemo meds all the time and you can smell it coming out of your pores...get so sick:((
and I chipped a tooth
All right, good to know! Thanks for the update! lol
Awww, poor FM.
Vicuna, do I see in the weather forecast that you're getting snow this week?!
and you missed todays troll invasion Vic
AND did you know Ata admitted to owning a mirror ball!!!!!!!
how did you chip a tooth?
eating a peach of all things
Ata can do disco goth, a new and unique fashion trend!
we have wet snow coming on tuesday:(((((
wow . . .
eeeeeeewwwwww crossy said the S word!
Trolls, eh? Well, I can live with missing that.
disco goth! love it
it's bright pink :)
disco?? i thought we killed that in 1980
The mirror ball? I didn't know they came in colors. Just goes to show how unhip I am!
nearly. we tried
I was hoping we had...
bright pink and about 1 1/2 foot wide!
same year i got rid of my bell bottom cords and platform shoes:)
And is it installed in your bedroom?
I love/d disco and Im not afraid to admit it ;)
I tried. husband wouldn't let me
i had some of those wide collar shirts;)
I love disco as a recreation. It was a bit much as a lifestyle, I think!
And look what's happening to him! =P
Vi you are so going to have to read back in the log for the whole design scheme we came up with for Atas boudoir!
too young to remember disco as a lifestyle :P
then we got into the 80,s and all those ladies with the "big hair" and i was fine:)
I'm a bit too young and a lot too uncool to speak from personal experience, myself, Ata!
yay Vi :) I remember the 80s thouh!
Oh gosh, FM. Do I dare?
how bout all those GUYS with the big hair (&make up! ) scarey shit!
*.. remembers doing The Bump in turqoise dungarees and platforms ...* ahhh heady days
i turned off my radio from 1981 to 1989 then music came back
ahh, i was a child of the 80s. (though im still thankful that i was BORN in the 70s -- barely!)
Ahh, 80's music! So much better than all that dreary whiney grundge!
sorry im stuck in the 70,s solid gold era but no disco!
you youngster you EvaN!
If only Haz were here, I could start singing all my favorite 80's pop! =D
yes, im quite young. my maturity exudes from my pores, though, so people forget how young i am. ;)
Go for it Vi seeing as she isn't here!! :))
fleewood mac,stampeders,cream,buffalo springfield,elo,floyd,reo speedwagon ;))clapton,the band,burton,gratefull dead;))
"Abra - abracadabra. I wanna reach out and grab ya!" I mean, how can you top lyrics like that!
need to go make a cuppa -- im freezing here today!
crossy - my record collection perplexed people as it (at that stage) had disco and heavy metal and some of the old crooners too
lol Vi - I remember that one
may be going to hell in a bucket,but at least im enjoying the ride..la laaa
lol fm i have a piece of vynal made by...captain fantastic and the brown dirt coyboys;)
*wafts away on happy memories*
and the yes covers are amazing;)
I've kept all my LPs, couldn't bare to get rid of them.
sometimes i bought an lp for a single song and the cover artwork;)
I heard an awful noise and then realised. Vi must be singing.
Oh the Yes covers were incredible pieces of artwork!
Yay, it's Haz! Now I can really pull out all the stops!
Let me get the earplugs in first!
my wife made me get rid of 80% of my "dusty old records" :((((
LOL I just knew that Vi singing would summon you to Babble Haz :)
"You spin me right round, baby, right round like a record, baby, right round round round!"
she says if i want them to go out and get them on disk and stop filling up her cupboard space
You'd think sefl-preservation would make me go far, far away from the computer, wouldn't you?
"She blinded me with science!"
My partner had a record collection from the 40's 50's 60s that he was never able to recue from his ex wifes attic.
self - that noise has wiped out my ability to type properly.
naw haz..do what i do and wade right on in;))
ahh the ole 78,s;)
Good afternoon everyone.
fragile things they are
"Billie jean is Not my lover..."
You should have told us, FMItch. Vi's twins could have swung in from their windowcleaning abseil rope.
howdy elder;0
Afternoon elder
Ah, are we speaking of the Twins of Glory, Haz?
if you sing jackson tunes i cannot gaurantee your safety....
Hello, elder!
Shining star for you to see, what your life can truly be Shining star for you to see, what your life can truly be Shining star for you to see, what your life can truly be
Les Jumeaux de Gloire, indeed.
Une! what on earth happened to Rafa??!
I wish Haz!
oooohhhh, ata, I don't know . . . so very sad
une..that reminded me of kenny rodgers tune evening star;))
aahh, the earlier yearsof good music. Did anyone one see the Tv last night -subject guitars, brought back so may memories.
Kenny Rogers??!!
Or we could have disguised Hobbit as an undercover sniffer dog, falsified a search warrant, and voila!
hi all, very sad to see only 66 words today, even tho it's me lucky number 8-)
you know that country singer with the beard?
morning, Gwen
Dolly Parton has grown a beard?
I KNOW who he is . . . LOL
Oh I caught snippets of that elder - will watch it back in iPlayer
lol dolly can do it all:)
gotta know when to fold 'em
That's not a beard, Haz.
lol Vi
Hi Gwen
FMitch, mostly snippets, but good.
think im gonna fire up limewire and dl that while its in my mind brb
That's a relief, Vi.
Just checking back in the chat log. Looks like I missed a lively morning.
ok, got myself a cuppa + a slice of leftover pizza for breakfast -- did i miss any 80s-inspired sing-alongs??
There was an attack of the Shakesperian troll I believe - must unusual
perhpas it was Yorik?
wake me up before you go-go *sings*
Yes. And herin telling people to ignore her. Even more unusual.
Alas, EvaN. Without your support my 80's singing petered out.
Missed the lively morning and the troll. Typical.:)
37 words to go, now getting stuck! arrrr
looool
LOL!
32 left and crossy has hit the wall;(
pot calling k ... never mind
looks like somebody spilled a big box of i's . . .
"And I'm never gonna dance again, 'cause guilty feet have got no rhythm..." (An interesting hypothesis, that.)
here i go again on my OOOOWWNNNN.... going down the only road ive ever knoo-OOWWN!!
hello, we had a troll? seems like it 's been awhile
crossy jams q-tips in his ears....
hey, harp
almost done here, only 66 to go
Don't get the quality we used to though harp ;)
lol harp
That's the spirit, harpjane.
Hello Gwen and Harp and anyone else I just missed.
nice knobs, eva!
VACATION all week YAAAAAY!
"A schoolboy's dream, you act so shy, but your very first kiss was your first kiss goodbye!"
ar ar harp
she was a fast machine she kept her motor clean she was the best damn woman that ive ever seen!
well, my, thanky ata. ;)
Which brings us to "Little red corvette! Baby, you're much too fast!"
Woooo harp !
i got a gal who lives on the hill,she wont do it but her sister will.....
now there is a tune;)
We know that crossy - now sing us a song ;)
zz top:)
lol fm
for anyone that remembers A-ha's "Take on me" video: http://tinyurl.com/4ybadz
:)
start singing ZZ Top + Dr God might join in ;)
it's very very funny video
"She's got legs. She knows how to use them!"
Did ZZ top have words?
(Which isn't really as remarkable an accomplishment as ZZTop implies.)
Oh yes they did Haz
i always wanted to get pulled into a cartoon world + then have my life endangered...
and great cars and guitars ... and ...
"Every girl crazy 'bout a sharp-dressed man!"
beards
I'm realising that the most of 80's music must have passed me by. I was raising the Wonder Children at the time, of course.
get yourself some cheap sunglasses!
you must watch that vid, eva. it's not the original vid.
All except the one whose name was Beard, so he could dispense with the facial hair.
good morning beautiful peoples
i lived thru the 80s and i can say for a fact, most of the music was crap! (no offense!!!)
i missed the 80's AND the 90's, church music and public radio.....
hi oodle
the Police stand out, tho
oh, it was crap. but it was SUCH fun!
Hello oodle.
crossy is listening to tube snake boogie...:))) got to love the guitar:))))
where would drinking games be without roxanne?
I loved the new romntics in the 80's the lace and puff sleves, the make up - and that was just the guys!!! lol
and Queen was still around, as i recall . . .
my theory is to wait and see if they are still singing it in 10 years, and THEN pay attention
heh, funny video...
Was Simon Le Bon your pin-up, FM?
puffy sleeves are always good, but i'm talking about music with staying power
crossy is playing the air guitar....:)
lol no Haz, trying to remember who was at that time tho
Tony Hadley?
so, anyone here also play boggle at Wordsplay.net?
I wish I'd been old enough to really be a New Romantic fangirl
at Wordsplay there's no chat, but you can change your screen name as often as you want, so sometimes there are "wars" or "conversations" going on with screen names
Yes Ata you could have done that look very well
whew! that was fine!:))
I'd have *loved* it. Just 3 or 4 years too young
you were great crossy!
Very funny video, Ata! lol
now that has me hunting down song gems with killer axe chops;)
isn't it? really clever. and such a good video still!
i always though ouded was a word, meaning to be hit with a stringed instrument....
Now I'm off for a shower. Back in a bit.
any clues for the ot6, please?
At least the shower will muffle her a bit.
Thanks for sharing Vi :) We'll see you in the cubical
ot6 - sore ears?
cubicle
more than a feeling by boston :)))
*blows FM the requisite raspberry*
*includes Haz in her disrespectful gesture*
crossy give fm a side noogie...
she love me really
Taking note of disrespectful gesture in my little black book.
*picks up singing where Vic leaves off* 18 and life, you got it 18 and life you know! youre crime is time and its 18 and life to go!
*leaves with quiet dignity, knowing she will soon be a cleaner person than they*
crossy prepares to wallow in the gutter with the rest
awe thanks crossy :)
Yes, quiet - that's what we all crave from VI.
and once you have all had enough of the gutter,come down to the sewer with ole crossy;)
Haz - you realise she will be singing in the shower soon?
I know, but the noise of the water will muffle things.
heres the big guitar sol o...arroooooo!
mmmm.....cuppa tea in the morning -- does a body good! (dunno why stupid americans never really picked up on it....)
and sthe shower curtain / cubicle
cos they're stupid americans?
i only drink tea eva..coffee burns my tummy
they are. good thing im not. :)
tea is the best best thing
wow crossy bring it on !
i have a friend who thinks that tea is only for recovering invalids..funny guy
i only drink coffee when im REALLY crashing... and even then, its gonna be a latte or something else that covers up the coffee taste...
like me and Pepsi Max! that's my I-need-to-stay-awake drink
those carbonated dark pops will eat your stomach
oh yes, is foul. but has enough caffeine in to make me bounce off the ceiling
yeah stick with pure alcohol that will rot you but you won't care
y brother drinks 4!!!! cans of coke with every meal!! is now 400 pounds....
wearing the GORGEOUS necklace the BF got me for our anniversary (which we celebrated at the beach wile we were on holiday) i believe the stone is tanzanite -- its bluish-purplish...
ick!
very nice eva;)
Tanzanite - can only be found in Tanzania - a fact I learned this summer.
And yes, it's blue/purple. What a lovely gift!
my coworker (who is otherwise very thin + healthy) has a sickening drink when she really needs some help -- she will mix a starbucks frappuccino with a starbucks double-shot of espresso *ugh*
*bows to Haz's knowledge* How lovely EvaN!
that cannot be good for a body eva
I had never known it before but that makes it quite special (the tanzanite, I mean)
also a beautiful ring. its a flip-ring with black on one side + white on the other...im thinking its faux onyx + mother of pearl (i doubt its real) but its gorgeous also! he really nailed my style with these. :)
she is thin cause her heart is going 240 beats per min on all that caffene
well, glad to know a bit more about the stone! i always just thought it was pretty. :)
eva was spoiled rotten;)
You never know, EvaN, he might have splashed out on the real goods.
crossy -- thankfully, she *rarely* drinks coffee (or tea, or that hideous mixture i described) but only when shes really dragging... shes one of those people with a natural buzz...heh
(peeks at the chat, has no idea what they're talking about, goes back to grid)
haz, if i must say, i HOPE the ring is fake so hes saving up for a more expensive (and more meaningful!) ring. ;)
Oh, I love expensive and meaningful rings!
caffene,jewelery,and lousy 80,s music that about caps it gwen
if it means a lot to you eva,it does not matter the cost
been 2 years now. the topic is discussed now + then. he even knows exactly what style ring i want. just a matter now of him realizing its time. ;)
Steering him past every jewellery store in town would help.
give it a yer or two then :P
exactly true, crossy -- if anything, id prefer a smaller-ish stone to what many people i know have. i wouldnt be comfortable with a huge rock!
ooooh EvaN I wanted to ask you that, do you think it might at soome time?
i bought my wife a custom made stief-type bear for one of our anniversarys..thing cost 280 dollars and i never told her the price she loves it like the ten dollar bears i get her:)
It can depend as well on the size and shape of your hand. Also if you're going to wear the ring all the time, it needs to be not too fancy in structure.
Thats the best crossy, mine did similar for me
well, he did say at the beach that he wouldnt have done it there because it would have been too expected + he really wanted to surprise me. but i also know he is TERRIBLE at saving up money, so part of me thinks he hasnt even started the process yet...
just enjoy the baubbles and give him a exra kiss at night;)
So, has he already proposed, or is he going to have to find a spectacular way of popping the question?
but the intention might be there none the less EvaN? Do we hear wedding beels some time?
ohh the big question coming up?
no idea if its gonna be any time soon...im in the dark. :)
but would you say yes if he asked!
my wife proposed to me....crossy was shy:))
You want to give us his e-mail address so that we can mount a campaign?
being that he didnt do it on our anniversary, im guessing christmas (december) and my bday and v-day (february) are probably out of the question too
I never had a proposal. We just 'knew'.
awe
afternoon everyone....so did we Haz, Hubby asked Dad's permission and that was it
hah, he already knows id say yes. :)
My daughters can't understand such a concept.
My dad was already dead at that stage, sadly. We just kind of knew we would get married.
could someone clue the te6/27?
We talked how rather than if
I feel sorry for men being put under pressure to make romantic proposals etc.
want points for dwuid waaaaaaaa
i dont even need a proposal over-the-top. i just want something thats meaningful and memorable to us.
A woman at work has just got engaged after here H2B had been asking for 3 years, can't imagine making Bry wait like that, or wanting to
past tense of t. kennedy
i say if they can spit the words out and you love them, say yes!
thanks
So, you don't necessarily want a hot air balloon and accompanying angel choirs, EvaN?
just ask him. easiest way to make it how you want it!
wife and i 'went steady" for 2 years and then she popped the question;) nice change i thought rather than me agonizing over it;)
but i still had to buy the ring!;/
heh, nah. something like that would certainly be an amazing story, but i dont need it. :)
Naturellement!
i think public marriage proposals are a bit goofy, like calling someone from the Oprah show, etc. because you know the person is going to say yes even if they take it back later
and for anyone who is interested, this is pretty much the style of ring ive pointed out to him: http://cdn.overstock.com/images/p roducts/P11515939.jpg
I should make a note for the e-mail address campaign....
very elegant EvaN
could someone clue the ot? i didn't get it earlier
Ask him EvaN, as long as you are both happy who cares who raised the subject
ot----ear inflammation
at some point, maybe i will ask him. but im a bit traditional, so i still wanna give him the chance to ask me -- i know he would prefer it that way too!
B insisted we got a ring but I cound't find one I wanted so I designed one and had it made instead, recycled gold I had and now I have a unique ring.
thanks and bbl
and I am back again, hello everyone
FM, what a lovely idea..
Hello Annie!
I sat next to a couple in a restaurant the other week and she gave him a present inside was a message in a bottle and she had asked him to marry her.........
And it's very nice!
my good friend + her hubby were HS sweethearts. they were married for almost 10 years before she got an engagement ring...hah
He said ye and there were tears all round, it was lovely
Hi Haz!
(FM's ring I mean)
i saw a proposal on TV that was pretty awesome:
Waiting for the awesome proposal....
they were planning dates for each other, but she didnt know he was really planning a proposal. she got her best friend to help her set up a beach picnic + bury a pocket watch for him. she created a map to give to him that led him to her, where they would first go hang gliding, then it led him to the picnic. she told him to dig where the "X" was + he found the watch...
B asked me to marry him after 6 weeks but I said no a) because it wa way to early in the relationship and b) he had been married twice before - sometimes not getting married works too.
that was pretty great, but what she didnt know is that her best friend also helped HIM bury the engagement ring in a treasure chest next to the picnic... so after digging out the watch, he drew another "X" in the sand + told her to dig... she was SO confused since they were on her date, not his...then she got the ring + said yes!
I hadn't realised that there were 2 ex-wives.
Oh yes!
What a man!
the funny thing was, you could tell for a split second that she was ticked off that her awesome date hadnt been a surprise... but then she quickly got over it! hehe
That best friend must have been sick of the sight of the beach by the time all that digging was done.
and the detritus is heinous
hah, i bet! thankfully, they didnt dig very deep...
Big mess all round, FMitch?
Lovely tale though EvaN
Ladies and gentlemen I have to go now. See you all another day.
i thought it was a good one. :)
See you again, elder.
good morning / afternoon everyone.
bye bye Elder
i know i wont get anything quite like that... but i do know chris will do something special -- hes good at that kinda stuff. :)
Good morning Mom.
good afternoon Haz
bye elder, hi Mom
howdy mom:)
And you'll get photos taken, won't you EvaN?
{{Annie}} good morning Good morning Crossy
ill try my best, haz -- chris's downfall is that he is photo-resistant!!
Back. Still married. (Just thought the conversation seemed to require that piece of information, since we're on the subject and all.)
good morning
i have more photos from when we dated back in college (6 months) than i do from now! (2 years)
good morning Vicuna and Boobear
this is the umpteenth keyboard ive worn out..going to soon use a program called dragon naturally speaking,its a speak and type program;))
hey Mom
Never mind that, EvaN. As long as you look good and you get a good view of the rock...
FM - not being married is every bit as good depending on the couple, happiness is the key whatever the wedded status is :-)
! * F * I * R * E * W * O * R * D * S * ! and thanks for all the clues, ummm, whatever 8-)
and as always she owns half of your sorry carcass at 6 months anyways;)
Congratulations BDG.
congrats Bookdoctor
yaa for gwen! 21 gun salute for you!
Yay for Book Doc!
Congrats Gwen
of course ill take pictures of the ring, if-ever and when-ever it happens! hehe
(ack! ducks from all the guns)
best to you and Chris, EvaN
dont wirry gwen,they are just noisy blanks
We'll look forward to it. EvaN.
EvaN....perhaps a push in your direction might be helpful...
hey i'm not wirried1 8-)
yay for Gwen!!!
lol gwen dont tease ole crossy with his typos:/
oh, oh, 10 am, have to start "working" now -- later all
bye bye Bookdoctor
im working on a keyboard with all the lettering worn right off:/
which is why i dont want to get a lappy anytime soon
as i said though, im not expecting anything any time soon... so dont you all hold your breath!
**gives Crossy first aid tape to put on the keys and a sharpie to write the letters on the keys
give us his e-mail addy eva;)))))
Oh but we will EvaN Haz we must llok at the new fasions for wedding hats ;)
crissy dusts off his tux...
and finds his waist is 4 inches larger;((
I know! Although it'll depend on whether it's a day-time wedding or not.
We want a Babble Wedding, it's been a while!!!
EvaN...I will start holding my breath Valentine's Day
Thas cos you are trying on crissys tux crossy :)
ahh i see
lol, FM! Crissy was always so skinny.
Do you remember Karys' Christmas Day wedding? The problems we had trying to keep our hats on while lifting turkey out of the oven.
Oh yes, that was a lovely day :)
Was Katie's the last? When Katie W became Katie McG?
I think she was the last babble wedding yes.
There are been a few babies since then and sadly quite a few departures too
Karys wedding on the high seas - pirates were celebrating around the world :)
Yes, that's true. Katie seemed strangely unwilling to be a bride and a mum all in the first year. Not even to keep us in chat...
my mother would LOVE for there to be more babies... i told her no babies for me until im a married lady! (you wouldnt think *I* would have to be the traditional one out of me + my mother!)
lol, EvaN!
You'd think she'd be happy with all the grandchildren already provided!
uhoh, it's 2 hours to - *that* time
PP?
yep!
If we talk in code, Hobbit won't understand.
What time !!! ???
yes she does. she just got up from the sofa and ca,e over
Vet's Visit. Posterior proddings.
Ah vet time, phew, thought the world was coming to an end or something!
Glandular Grotesqueness
As long as the world is coming to an end in two hours at least I don't need to worry about what to make for dinner.
same thing for hobbit!
lol Vicuna
may I have a clue for the 7, please
*Breaks out emergency rations of vintage champagne*
It's a bit of a waste if you've already got something on the go.
I would give you a clue, Mom, but it'd be too boring.
;)
Fireworks!
te7 - a word meaning annoying and boring and really not very interesting, a bit like this clue.
Yay for AnnieB!
Yay Annie!!! Congrats
thank you Vicuna
congrats Annie
Congratulations Annie!
thanks, Haz
I must excuse myself and do a few errands. Don't let the end of the world happen without me. Back later!
bye bye Haz
Better be back within two hours then, Haz! But really, what errands could possibly need doing at a time like this?
Bye HAz
Hmph. She's hedging her bets. *mutters something about "Ye of little faith."*
with 14 left, I had better start on the laundry. Thanks for the help. See everyone soon
good grief! 10:18 already!
loool
Mom, too? What's the world coming to?
Oh wait, I know this one!
Time has that effect croosy
I must. Clean laundry is a must in this house

if i could save time in a bottle....
Oh hells bells phone
and more drilling from the builders!!!!!!!
the first thing that id like to do,is to save every moment till eternety passes and then i can spend them with you...arooooo
ahhh...i love jim croce. :)
Is that REALLY what you'd do with all that bottled time, crosshair?
but im more of a "bad, bad leroy brown" kinda gal. ;)
he did have quite the voice
if i had all that bottled time,id use it to go back in time so i could marry my wife 2 years sooner;)
That sounds more like it! =)
awwwww
Only one word left, and I just can't find it :( Any clues for ti6,24?
I'd dole it out between nursing and changing diapers in the first year of my kids' life!
ti6/24 - straightened up
ty vic needed that 1
Thanks Vicuna, so simple, and I was going blind
Yay for miusen!
*slumps in corner*
yaa for miusen! 21 gun salute for you!
flipping clients
*offers FM smelling slats*
or salts. Whichever she prefers.
now now fm,no slumping...crossy hands fm a nice cup of his extra strong tea...
ewww..smelling slats/
clients. Can't live with 'em, can't live without 'em.
ooo tea sounds good :) *perks up*
my tea will stop a bullet
so true Vi so true - but where to draw the line.
Gosh, are FM's clients after her with guns? What HAVE you been doing?
extra hot water in a pre heated tea pot and steeped for 6 minutes;0
wi 6/39? please?

wi6/39 - random little something or other
a thingomabobber babs
wow...what a fishy word! Thanks
People study the businesses that make them. =)

wife just waves single barrele whiskey under my nose;)
oh yes! or artist's masking fluid :)
Yep, that's all smelling salts is. But I expect horseradish would work, too.
nm got it
or a good whif of an excellentr premier cru
my used socks will work also..makes the cats go into hiding;/
i once almost passed out in a doctors office + he didnt have the salts on that office, but there was a bottle of windex. he couldnt get the lid off in time to hold it under my nose, so he just sprayed me once in the face... (i suspect spraying even water in my face would have worked then!)
have you smelled masking fluid, vi? omg *cough cough*
Anything that makes you whoop!
will pass on the socks I think ... eeew
No, I haven't, Ata! But all too many artist's supplies are a little too potent!
wife makes me wash them seperate..:((
you really don't want to. it's about 50% ammonia lol. it's deadly
Thanks for sharing, crosshair! lol
*inhales permanent marker pen* ooooh!
lol i know tmi
GM (again)
permanent markers are wussy now. They took the chemicals out!
Yikes. I always wanted to play with masking fluid, though. Oh well. Maybe I'll stick with white crayon under watercolor! lol
scary place to pop in.... sniffing toxic substances, are we?
I have a stock of the onld ones - want some.... ?
Really, Ata? They still give me a headache!
remember in school when everone used to sniff the fresh sheets off of the copy machine?
it's fab stuff! you should. just have some tylenol ready
not a photocopier..what was that big drum type machine called?
I used to do an op art project with 7th graders. They were all using sharpies to make their designs. After three straight periods of it, I was lawys in horrible shape.
brb
pop pop pop pop pop - those are y'alls brain cells dying off
Oh, yeah, the purple ones... What on earth is the word?
momeograph machine??
oh gosh! I'm surprised you could still see straight!
mimeograph
mimeo?
snap
Yep, that was it! And they always felt damp. I hated those.
but there was always a fight over who got to crank the thing....
that must be what we had! we called them ditto sheets, but everything printed pruple off of them + you used to have to turn the handle to make the copies...
At my age that lasted through junior high, but it was all xerox by high school.
thats the ones eva;)
Oh yeah, "ditto sheets" that's what we called them, too.
wah. I feel I've missed out now
ok lets see if i can get my few remaining cells thinking on the 30 words i still need;/
Your original had to be made on a special double sheet of paper with a backing.
and the backing slid ito a seam in the metal drum
*sigh* I must have just missed the purple fun
it was a purple haze:)
It's really amazing how much more advanced today's copiers are!
like the 60,s and 70,s if you were really there,it is all a blur anyways
does anyone remember that purple stuff one's mother put on one's fingers etc? gentian violet!
red iodine with the glass wand
You couldn't do photos, or copy out of a book, or reproduce anything from another source...
starting my christmas shopping ealry... already have a gift for my nephews + just ordered a gift for the BF. :)
I never had gentian violet as a kid, but I had all too much experience with the stuff with my babies! Ugh!
horrid stuff!
ill start mine about the usual time....noon december 24th;/
We did a little iodine, but mostly we were just awash in Bactine.
what did gentian violet actually do?
that bactine was great stuff! fix the kids boo-boos, then slop a bit in the bucket to wash the floors!
Gentian Violet? Was she not a serial killer?
Supposed to kill bacteria, I guess. With my kids we had it for thrush.
I had to have it on my fingertips
Hello everyone
then dump the bucket in the toilet to steralize that!
Or was she the first woman to swim the Atlantic?
What for?
si5/12 not the finding with your eyes
Hello...
I can't remember!
Gentian violet is an antifungal.
it still works, but not used, so messy.
AH, there's a nurse when we need one!
i'll have to ask my mother
it's such a pretty colour though
it is a pretty colour.
I am really troubled by this grid.
I think they still use it in the vets. It's the only explanation for husband coming home purple.
Well, I had to use it 6 years ago, because they wouldn't prescribe anything for me!
or hopefully the only explanation
Oooh, Haz's husband has been seeing Gentian Violet! And he tells you it's an "anti-fungal." Ha ha ha.
Give me time, I'm sure I could think of some more.
rolling around a mimeograph?
Gentian Violet - any relation to Parma Violet do you suppose?
last word is the si5, please help
ewwww parma violets are horrid
we are all extra-low on funds this year, so im trying to spread the holiday shopping out... buy something as i see it, as opposed to making a list + spending all in one big lump sum...
only si5 I have is where a building is placed
si5 - three letters of dog command, two letters for you and me.
change the last 2 letters for another word
Ah, now I have another. Thanks, Haz.
It makes sense, EvaN. Are you buying him a roll-playing (sic) book?
that's the one Thank you Haz, that's fireworks for me
Congratulations Holly!
brb
Fireworks!
Yay for Holly!
yaa for holly! 21 gun salute for you!
Well done mixi.
yaa for mix1 21 gun salute for you!
Thank you all
Yay for mixi6!
i ordered him a pair of Adidas shoes that have the Liverpool football club logo on them. its only his 2nd favorite team, but no one makes anything with Newcastle on them...heh
You do know WHY nobody will make anything with Newcastle on them?
help with the te's please?? have the first one
heh, because they arent exactly doing so well. ;)
I am still not loving this grid, it goes along with my day.
Your middle name is understatement, EvaN.
gads! bread is my weakness;( im going to kick off with a bag of crusty rolls under each arm:)
hehe.... well, chris isnt a fair-weather fan. he likes a team through good + bad. :)
te7 - a pretty boring word, humdrum, no razzmatazz
would like some bread too cross...with nice butter.
and ill put some apple jelly on it for you red;0
ahhh, thanks
Okey.
te5/12 - put a double vowel helping in the middle of little Edward and then plural for te6
hi all!
good morning everyone, how is everybody today
Poor Newcastle, the fans are incredibly loyal, but the owners seem to be intent on ruining the club.
Hello TO!
Hello Sharon.
How appropriate that my last word should be id5!
thanks, Haz. weird words
thanks for the clues...I'm done!
Yay for Krysten!
You're welcome - congratulations!
yaa for krysten! 21 gun salute for you!
yes haz, hes SO upset with ownership/management. but he does love his team!
just in time to go back to work for an hour before lunch!
hi just checking in
bbl
lol doing babble for a living! i love it!
I may even get some work done today!
Ooops, laundry! And it's now under 3 weeks to big show and I've done no preparation. Guess I'd better go start with some inventory. Back in a bit!
Maybe some nice, kind owner will buy them and wave magic wands over them. We can only hope.
never could get into soccor/football
crossy goes into hibernation till hockey starts
back
i was never into ANY sports growing up. but the BF loves his soccer/football (Newcastle and Liverpool). and he also loves american football (Redskins and the Bengals) + some baseball (NY Yankees)...
im trying to learn, so at least i can follow the games... believe it or not, im actually starting to enjoy american football a little bit!
why on earth Newcastle??!!
i admire the euros thier soccer passion..they get so worked up!
(You'll not be able to hear it, but Ata's question ended up somewhere near high C)
lol yes
especially the Italians. they are quite mad
fireworks
wathced one where standard equipment at the stadium was tear gas and a water cannon:/
yaa for boo1 21 gun salute for you!
That must have been a while ago. Health and safety wouldn't permit that any more in case the fans got hurt.
ata -- i dont know when/how/why he started in on Newcastle, but he chose them + hes stuck with them.
ty vm cross
Good morning, hooligans. *lobs bananas to the Babble monkeys*
sounds about right for Italy. everyone is allowed fireworks in those stadia
when i was in england 2 years ago, i went into the sports shops trying to find Newcastle stuff + was all but laughed at in my face! *shakes head*
fans get hurt??! they tear the seats out and try to rearrange each others dental work!
well, it could be worse. just ;)
It's just boyish high spirits, cross.
lol nothing like a coma to make friends by;)
you need this: http://shop.nufc.co.uk/Index.pasp
There's no National Service so they have to have some form of release for all that testosterone.
we used to just fight at hockey rinks;)
a puck going at 200 mph works wonders;0
so do boot studs in the head :P
Jeez louise. Are there enough vowels in this grid?
we had skates..remember.nothing says loving like a sharp blade across the thigh
Maybe that explains David Beckham's voice. Could he have attended a hockey game as a child?
well he certainly didn't attend English lessons!
Hi guys.. .only 66 words today? Does that mean I have a chance? probably not lol
the only voice higher than beckhams is Beaker from the muppets!
Oh well, you know, I'm, you know, a, you know, footballer and, you know, I'm not, you know, very, you know, articulate.
Lol, Crossy. My hubby got a skate across his nose once. Blaagh.
and when you checked into the corners you would hold the stick under the armpit leading,with 3 inches sticking out..just right for a sternum shot
Beckham is perfectly suited to being a silent movie star.
sorry granma seems to be an evil grid
yeah, that's what I figured!!
ive hit the wall with 29 left
well, thats a better type of film star than his wife is su6 to be...
(btw, to the pb with haz for saying a word!)
Zut alors!
Quelle horreur!
Zut alors - A french phrase meaning a variety of things including "Damnit" or "Be quiet".
Cest un catastrophe
crossy loves google;)
and since im a canuck i dont need to, translate ruru
is that you, ruru???!
get all the quebecers coming through on thier vacations
cross I have 29 left too, but the wall came long ago for me!!!
catastrophe is feminine, though.
i dont care its sex..its still a disater:)
But cross - the French would care!
ce la vie;)
I care on behalf of the French
Well done Ata!
Back shortly....
so, ata -- hows yer drawing coming along?
I care on behalf of sex
don't mention drawing right now! LOL
someone say sex??
cross
hello, my name is Simon, and i like to do DRAWINGS!!
*runs away*
ruru you have a new golden Piccie. Very pretty.
thanks
is that you in the pic, ruru?
still working on grendel?
yes
yes *mutters*
wi 6/36 please
Crossy: wi6/36 sounds like ti5/14 with an double consonant in the middle.
a water well finding device is the wi 6
sorry that is the 39
Make that sounds like the di5/14. Arg.
wi 6/36 sounds like a name you would call your cat
here puddie wi6/36
Well, our evil conspiracy to confuse Crossy is out in the open now.
Fireworks, by the way.
congratulations Judi.
YAY Judi!
good going judi
ints for the 7?
Te7: boring, mundane, repetative.
te7
eva the seven is a te and it is an arduous one.
well, that was a fishy word...
arrgh!
Eva, you dropped an "h". *hands it back*
I'm done and out, my Babble buds. See you tomorrow! *peuffe*
hello
and the wi 6/39 came so easy..:(
yes, i have slippery fingers sometimes...thanks!
crossy bangs his head on the desk....
and finds out from google that it burns 56 calories per hour.....
And here I thought "teddie" was a perfectly good word....
yaa! ty uusue21 that did it for me!:)
ok so what's the word on this shorty grid! piece of cake?
think of a rabit rat with an attitude thats this grid
kind of like a 2 week visit from the mother in-law.....
*pictures bunny with ugly grey skin and pointy tail*
is to5/18 a common word?
now get that bunny breathing fire and you have it to
TO I am finding it challenging to say the least. I think we deserve a juicy grid, on my day off.
rabit rat?
red are you at a new job?
that would be rabid harp
rabid harp? now you're talking about something I've actually SEEN!
I sort of started today, very confusing.
love your flamingos, jane. what;s today's theme?

bye skooj
Good afternoon all..........
hi cait! sitting her elistless needing one s5 wordd
Hello caitlyn!
si5 - command to dog (three) you and me (two)
And hello again to TO.
OMG yo have added telepathy to your powers! *prostrates self*
How is everyone?
Arise, my child, it was my pleasure.
however, you would be proud that i found two words using a to z and adjoining letters.
I'm fine, caitlyn, TO will be once she has got herself up from the ground.
LOL
I'm not only proud, TO, I'm in awe.
no list
Get up now TO you might get trodden on
You will join the Greats of Babble.
well if you are down to three and each had a different # of letters...
Yes, detectives would probably do well to babble in order to hone their powers and skills.
well - how did those do it when lickety was on vacation> either the old fashioned way or they have written a program
i'd like to think the old fashioned way
Many of those who go listless have always gone listless and are used to feeling listless.
TO someone posted everyday
i feel listless most days. btw haz the cake turned out "interesting"
And, in reality, I think there was a list posted just about every day in BabAnon.
but SOMEONE had to solve it to get that list
'Interesting' is one of those words that can mean anything. Like 'challenging' or 'it was an experience'.
Oh, I know, TO. Did you notice that it was never me posting any list?
LOL Haz, nor me
well - i knew it was dense but it was a bit too much fo rme. the marbling was actual melted chocolate folded directly in to the cake. imagine that.
There's probably a bit of help going on especially at flip (though some are more hindrance than help, but we'll not go into that)
someone actually said it didn't need that much chocolate. we looked at her in amazement.
Chocolate folded directly in? Rich, indeed.
it had 8 oz butter, 10 oz cream cheese and 4 oz shortening. next time i'll be sure it has "give" when i declare it done.
Whenever I've done marbled cakes, it's been a sponge mixture flavoured in different ways and then dropped at random into the tin. Marbling happens with the aid of a skewer.
The calorie count must have been pretty high with all that fat!
well i make cream cheese brownies which should be marbles but i tend to keep the marbling shallow to make a topping. but for this more rigorous marbling is needed.
well pound cake if all about the fat.
LOL i used neufchatel cheese to cut out some fat ;)
And do you weigh a pound heavier after consumption?
LOl several
Im putting weight on with all this chat about cakes!!
i also made a pumpkin pie - it's the easiest of pies.
Would it work the other way? If we started talking about rice crackers, would the pounds fall off?
Thats a thought Haz
So, caitlyn, what flavour of rice cracker do you favour?
ooh let's do try! et's talk about lettuce and cucumbers
(Just thinking - rice cracker and flavour in one sentence - something amiss!)
My down fall isnt cakes, its cheese!
Any type of cheese, or do you have a favourite?
Oh Im not fussy Haz, any will do LOL
Although I do love feta cheese
hmm half way in ten minutes... why do i feel a wall looming?
I'm not madly keen on cheese, but there's a Wensleydale with cranberries....
Hi rolin !
Mmmm
Hello rolin! You may not hit a wall. You may be one of the Babble Greats.
lol...oh no haz... im a plodder....
hey catlin...*s*
hi hi
Anybody else feeling their waist expand by 2 inches once we started talking about cheese?
Hi wild
yup...and the chocolate cake..
uh oh - lunch is over and boss is hovering! see you later!
Hello wildcat!
only 7 left ... I should be here all day
I know lets get back to sald talk
See you later TO - fireworks before lunch is over isn't bad going.
Bye TO see you tomorrow
That was supposed to read salad!
welno it's not! late, all!
Lettuce not speak ill of radish.
LOL
What was your weather like today, caitlyn? Ours was terribly changeable, I got fed up rescuing laundry from the line.
Wet Wet Wet (thats a good name for a pop group ) Im waiting for a lull so I can put rubbish out
Wet Wet Wet - now there's a group I could listen to without feeling suicidal.
And me
Do you want to form the Wet Wet Wet mature ladies fan club?
Has FM been on today?
Marti Pello appreciation society
Yes, she was on earlier. Still much bothered by builders' noise.
Yes, Martie always made me smile. I found it hard to associate him with heroin addiction.
Shame I missed her
She may well be on later.
She was talking of her youth when she wore turquoise dungarees.
And platform shoes! The things you find out about people.
They were all the fashion the brighter the better
Hi everybody! I've just been baa,baa,babbling along. I now have 5 left and I can't find a 1 of them. After I te**** the hay, I went blank. Help w/TE's would be appreciated.
ugh stuck
wildcat, maybe I could help?
te7 - is a very boring word, humdrum and annoying
I can remember wearing thick white tights and very black eyes, the Sandie Shaw look
ty,Haz
Hi gramma
te5/12 - put a double helping of a vowel into little Edward, and then plural for te6
Hi caitlyn.
I remember Sandie Shaw - didn't wear shoes when performing.
It seems such an innocent gimmick now.
need one each from top T, right D and S
need one from A
need one each from bottom W and S
ad4/5 - what the maths teacher said when she wanted a total?
ty that helped
wi6 - either a computer term or wi6 - a hangman's noose, consisting of three letters of the woman left without a husband and three letters of 'to pass away'
that helped too ty
I didn't get the double helping of the vowel.?
You're welcome.
te5 - te, double helping of a vowel, finsh with a consonant. Think of Senator Kennedy with vowels inserted
I must go and cook supper, see you all tomorrow, bye
bye cait
Bye caitlyn. I need to head off as well to get ready.
for s either business attire
have that
got the T myself
wo6/39 - to rhyme with Miss Jones, who wrote her diary.
Okay, off I go. Bye!
W is done
TY
top D, top S, middle right T, bottom S
bye haz
or group of roo'nn's & pt or start of very instantaneous
it was the last one ty
you guys with the 'nn'
evening everyone
BBL
grrrr. I have ambulated the dog, but I can not seem to enjoy this grid. I actually found myself wondering why....
that is such a nice doorknob red
thank you wildcat. I wish I could stop hating babble today! Tomorro, when i must spend ALL day at an orientation, It will be a nice meaty grid.
I know
that qu is just there for decor....
I'm going to the list, I only have 26 word but I DON'T CARE!!!!!
GO Katie. this grid is listworthy. i have 22 left. I am going to go to the gym in one hour, when I come back, LIST.
I have 3 left
howdy, again.
wildcat is ahead!!!
1
racing along now i've got the list!!
hi skoo
hi, katie.
fireworks
can help clue if someone needs one.
yeah
thx for the help e1
pls clue the DA6 skooj...ty
congrats, wildcat
da 4/5 diminuitive
da - start french prince *** + neckwear ***
congrats wild
sound like one who doesn't believe, reparteena
wow, I must be thick today (:
does the ta7 build off the 6?
sorry I meant the te
te 7 is what repititious work gets
Or a mean little gird gets, thanks nDan
thanks nDan!
just spent 10 mins looking for a word that I actually got 10 mins ago
ti'nn'e for a cuppa katie
May I please have a clue for wi6-36? Thanks
Well, I logged on and assumed that at 66 words this would be easy...then I noticed all the Ts, Is, Es and Ds! Not nice!
a di'nn'inutive way of describing woan/an whose spouse has passed
*wo'nn'an
It rhymes with a slang term for a short person,,,but starts with a differant letter
**'nn'an
could I have a clue for the te5/12 please
te5/12 - ends with identification, but has an improbably vowel in the middle
like lukewar tea with 'p' replaced by friend of 'nn'e & 'nn'yself
Thanks nDan.
Thanks nDan & Vicuna
FIREWORKS :-)
Yay for KatieMcG!
yeah
evening folks
Thanks any clues before I go?
I'll take that as a no, see you all tomorrow :-)
hey all
Oh, uh... Bye, KatieMcG! Hello, bfsog!
hi vicuna. while its quiet il ask you (an american i presume) who is your money on for the pres.election
Obama is the more likely winner according to current indications.
Obama is also my choice.
thats the impression the UK is being told, too
I also am an Obama Mama!!!!
Lots of people are predicting a landslide, but I'm much too nervous to believe that yet.
i wouldnt say a landslide, but then im not in america, but i feel hes the favourite
It's also not productive to get complacent before the votes are in!
it reallly hinges on a few states
I agree with you, it doesn't pay to be to sure of anything after what happened with Bush first election
It's crazy.
and whether the young vote actually turns out [not doing so affected the polls/last 2 elections]
One thing that Obama has over the last two elections is that people want to vote FOR him as opposed to just voting AGAINST Bush.
in a way though, the house & senate races are 'nn'ore i'nn'portant
Americans are so excited about this election that even the dead are voting!!
Hmmm... Hopefully not too many of them, storyteller!
there have been lots of new voter lists with proble'nn's, unfortunately; it hurts the whole thing
My husbands registration got all jumbled in with the Acorn regs, I am still a little worried about him not being on the register when we go to vote.
Yeah. It's frustrating when incompetence or greed ruin things for everyone.
Well, time to fetch the offspring. Bye, all.
so...anyone here? or did the political chat kill the chatlog?
hello friends! I have 20 minutes to play... finished the reading I wanted to do in between things this morning, so ... how's the grid?
hi EvaN...
small, but feisty...
thanks, not bad then. I have some time... as long as lickety is up I shall make it before flip. LOL
stid, tu es americainne, vraiment, non?
ou anglaise?
oui, c'est vrai, mai pour (today - aujord'hui?) je suis canadienne.
heh, i think thats about all of my french. :)
yeah. me too. LOL
I get confused with what italian I remember and it all goes downhill from there.
twas a good exercise. :)
*bleck face* exercise. yuck.
how are you doing these days, EvaN?
busy, but good. sneaking in to babble whenever i can. :)
yeah, me too. I love Mondays because I volunteer at the local school and can slip home at lunch to be in the quiet house with the unquiet dog.
mondays for me are slave back to the grind...
though, at least i like my coworkers :)
glad to hear the work environment is pleasant. I like most of the students in my microbiology class -- I self-select away from the others! LOL
microbiology. *shudders*
it's not horrible, it's just brand-new to me and so very steep learning curve. I am going to start relaxing on trying to "get it all" -- which won't happen and start focusing on my project which is compost. Which I DO understand.
i barely passed "disney" bio in college. (thats what the bio majors called it because it was so easy)
I don't think I will get NBT without the list. I am past halfway now though
i have 17 left... but ive been chipping away at it all day...heh
i wouldn't mind "disney" bio, took this full-time program because it fulfills ALL the remaining science requirements I need to teach elementary school, leaving me with jsut a few credits in things I enjoy before I go for my master's
okay, list in hand...
masters.... i need to go get me one of those...
*facepalm* oh man... glad I didn
didn't ask for the eye words!
heh, *I* did. *rolls eyes at self*
My choice was a year of post-bac getting classes like this one and then a year of post-bac teacher certification; or this year and then two years for a master's. Higher pay, more preparation for teaching; it was a no-brainer
true! a little hard work goes a long way. :)
or a lot of hard work... rofl
ooh. I got the last E words! grey tiles!
first D-eye 5 please?
better than me! im still missing one from the top E
alas, i have it not
oh well... the top E you probably want the goose-down looking word
ahh, just dound it, though... ends in the end of life
yes, thanks!
:-D
13 words left to go...
hm. down to 15. about time for me to head out.
Nice to see you again, EvaN. I miss our carefree days when I was new to babbling and we were on a lot at the same time.
This grid bites
(((Gadget))) there, there. at least it's short! See you-all another time. *poof*
bite it back
ahh, the carefree days... enjoy the memories, stid. :)
nice icon eva
thanks kje :)
my place has glass knobs (was built 1920s)
but none as pretty as those
clue for the 7?
te7 - onerous
thanks!

where is it at? why so much? are you sure?
where is it red
Its in NC, I found a pretty cheap flight, but I also have to board the dog, park at the airport, buy an appropriate outfit.
no friend to keep the dog? or take you to the airport?... really nothing to wear?
I don't know anyone here because I worked 40 miles north, and I really and truely have No dress to wear here in FL...
pant suit?
borrow something?
kje, I have one pair of jeans here and some t shirts. I got some shoes when I was home, but there were no dresses that quite fit...
so your dilemma is whether to go or not?
Yes...
are there relatives you could borrow fro there
My Grandfather just died 2 weeks ago and I could not go to that one because the cost was outrageous....
Most of my relatives actually all...are a little too fat.
my aunt who i was close to died when i was a 2nd year resident... I was unable to go to the funeral... I don't regret it
i think our loved ones care more that we were there with them when they were still here...more than once theyve left us...
My Grandmother was very ill, with dementia etc for a long time, so I feel more relief for her.
I had just visited her a couple weeks before she died and was thankful for that... she would have understood that i couldn't make it down again for the funeral.... depends on your own obligations and what is important to you
I wish I had been able to see Grandma, but she has not recognized me for years.
erhad not.
yes, dementia is a hard death, red... a protracted one... my aunt had died of breast cancer
if you truly feel you cannot go, do something special where you are to take the time to honor her, if you can
Yes, her husb (My Grandfather) died last year and she asked each day where he was, only to learn each day anew that he had died.
think about what YOU will need; if you are okay with other fors of saying goodbye & closure, that's okay funerals/wakes are for those still here
I must admit, I am not really up for travelling again....
sorry to hear that red, but that is over for her now, thankfully
I am glad of that, she had that wierd anxiety component with the dementia, you know it...
yes, i do
my grandmother went much the same way. i didnt get to see her much before she passed, but in a way, im thankful that i can remember her the way she was before...
I'm sort of waiting to hear from my Mom to see what she wants and my sister.
Oh yes, My Grandmother she was a very special lady. She was also a Registered Nurse.
what was your pull-over for? speeding? or suspected drug trafficking? ; )
that is cool red, she must have been very proud of you
I ran a red light because I couldnt see it as a semi was in front of me....warning. The guy did freak out because I had to open the trunk to get my wallet...
he gave me a warning because I dont have any Florida Licensing...
well, that is nice at least
so thats the silver lining... :)
why though must the grid be so hateful?????
cops in MD rarely (if ever) gave warnings... granted, I slowed down considerably once i moved there.., those guys were mean and scary as hell
I learned quickly to avoid them
MD cops kje, are actually quite nasty....they have the rep all over, I always slooow down when driving there.
hi all...(lunch time)
Oh kje, you have to watch Ellen...her choice of music for Joe Biden is lovely.
Hi Pinik.
THank you all for the dilemma help.
the baltimore city police were being investigated by the feds when i left for massive abuse
hi pini
not 3 yet red!
He is actually funny. he was not so funyn at the rally yesterday.
did you go to a rally?
No, I allowed myself to become incensed watching on Television...
I should have gone to the one in Tampa today.
I don't think I can take it anymore... it all pisses me off - LOL
I dont like the way the polls are going...it's the Wilder effect..
interview this weekend with palin she insinuated that the mainstream medias accounts of people at their rallies threatening obama were not entirely truthful.... she had never heard it
what is the wilder effect?
but if she did hear it she would stop them
Where people say on polling that they will would vote for a black candidate but then on election day actually don't....
USA has an interesitng thing where you can make your own electoral college map and predict who will win which state...
Did you see her lacklustre performance on SNL??
there is some specuation that the opposite is true also... that there are people who won't admit to liking him b/c it is unacceptable in their neighborhood, but once behind the curtain, will vote for him... both are hard to measure
nope, not yet, but thanks for reminding me
though it is entertaining, being able to perform on SNL is not a criteria for election, though : )
wow, I sounded so pollyanna there... asg would be proud of me
Exactly, she was stiff, I thought and sort of not comfortable being spoofed.
I'm usually the despondent one about the dems chances
well, in some ways, takes a lot of guts to go in and set yourself up knowing they are mocking you... i wouldn't do it
I am quite worried. I just don't see esp after Powell's endorsement...how people think the McCain/Palin team...can help our Country.
i get mocked enough in babble - LOL
Oh I would...but then again, I mock myself frequently.
* zips lips * ;)
see!!!!
; ) pini
ROFL
this grid is one of the worst I have seen it makes me really frustrated, it is so UN-fun...
Sorry, kje...couldn't resist! * wink *
interesting red, this one is not nearly so bad to me as one last week (the one that tanked my rank)
I don't think I am going to the funeral.
hey ya'll

making my way, red... currently enjoying the scenery from the train
I loved my visit there, kje...celebrated the 4th of July in a local pub there!
Ooooh Joe Biden is totally wonderful...you shall have to watch.
okay - I'm still on a beach - where no one can find me
this is my 1st trip to austria... seems cool so far ; )
I WILL, RED!!! at 3
Awesome...make sure you check out the gardens (I'll find a url for you...they're gorgeous!)
cool - yeah it is cool
da6?
OK, thanks
Sorry kje...its just I was a little disappointed in Biden at the rally yesterday, but in this setting, he is really clear, consistent, and sincere. I;d vote for him as pres.
http://www.salzburgs.com/panorama-phot os/mirabellgarten_e.htm
well of course YOU would red! it is all your fellow states people down there we are worried about
the Floridians? I still predict NC is going to go amazingly Dem, Florida will go Red.
I am doing my best to hold OFF the damn dems in NC...

panag what? tofu? chikn?
maybe you can take the day off?
kajee what's with your flag?
chicken
OMG panang chickn.... i'll have some please
with green beans, eggplant, onions
sounds good! you could put panang curry sauce on a dirty sock and i would love it LOL
not quite ready yet, monkey... sauce is simmering
LOL - eeewwww
is it hard to make? sounds fantastic?
panang toe cheese, i would eat it
panang sheep testicle, i would eat it
kajee, i need the recipe please
the chicken one, not the testicle one!
panang hairball??
sounds great!
ok, will email you
thank you! what kind of peanuts or peanut butter do you use?
sheep testicles? hmmm... monkey has strange tastes
I've never had it, but must be good
transition guy , it's a Thai dish.. panang curry is flavored with peanut
I love curry
well, you will love panang curry then
is it what they sometimes call kari(sp) noodles?
has peanuts, fish sauce, curry paste, cocnut milk
lime, basil, and meat... I put veggies, but some recipes do not
no noodles... served with rice
kajee, i've had it with veggies or without... my fav restaurant has sauteed watercress or spinach with the chicken, it's fab
not sure what kari noodles is... is that thai?
i don't know what kari noodles are either
.
mmm, love love love spinach.... in any form
even as a kid I liked spinach
EmaMaria is tongue tied i guess
oops!
i said a wooooooooooooooord
LOL... drooling or gagging I wonder?
i'll have to go to the pB where there is panang curry
what word monkey?
sorry!
the word after tongue
yes, I am probably spelling it wrong. My daughter gets it while I get Pad si ue (SP again) it is curried w/choice of meat with rice noodles
oh yes... PB for you! and extra heat inn your curry!
I think it is seewu
thinking on kari...hmmm
i like curry hot enuf to make smoke come out my ears and nostrils
kajee, put up a flag from Thailand
pad kao maybe?
I haven't made it there yet monkey... but will on my way to see herin
OK, coming to say Hi for a few moments, i actually already have fireworks on this hateful spiteful grid.
well, I know where I am going for lunch tomarrow!
and a smokin tail?
hi red, were you looking for me?
I ma having lunch tomorro is Seventh Day Adventist Vegetarian cafeteria. shoudl be interesting.
i only have 23 words, thanks to kajee and her incessant chatting LOL
watched biden... he did pretty well
red, do you like my doorknob?
I was kje, I was trying to decide the main difference in Heat stroke and exhaustion....altered LOC or ability to dissapate heat.
will be good, red... i visited friends at lomo linda, in ca, and their hospital is SDA and their food was seriously good and fresh
its cute!
TY red
I decided it was the ability to disappate heat. As you stop sweating with stroke...
i thought the main diff between heat stroke and exhausting was the hydration factor
but a few internet articles said it was the LOC.
heat stroke, the patient is usually dry and hot to touch...
loss of conciousness? is that LOC
exactly. But usually with exhaustion the level of conciousness is only mildly impaired...
with storke they are usually googly.
sorry, doorbell... ups guy... my order from Frick came in - yay
hmmmm, i've seen googly in both case
can you tell I have a test tomorro and I believe that I have the actual test. so i am trying to be sure I pass it.
but heat stroke is extrmely googly
me too monkne which is why I am going with ability to disappate heat...
i would say that too red
I think they are used close to interchangeably... both are hyperthermic states, dehydration, and thus inability to dissipate heat heat via sweat evaporation
hi, all
hi pam
oh, test level questions...hmm... I'll look it upo then
I thought once someone had heat stroke, they stop sweating and that was the defining moment...
yes me too Pam, that's when they get googley
red, google search yielded this... "Heat exhaustion: This condition often occurs when people exercise (work or play) in a hot, humid place and body fluids are lost through sweating, causing the body to overheat. The person's temperature may be elevated, but not above 104°F. Heat stroke: This medical condition is life-threatening. The person's cooling system, which is controlled by the brain, stops working and the internal body temperature rises to the point where brain damage or damage to other internal organs may result (temperature may reach 105+°F)."
Good luck tomorrow, red!
but not sure that is how we really use them... most of the time, we just Dx hyperthermia
i saw a man have heat stroke (on the beach, when i was a kid) and it scared me to death. He was like a raving lunatic
I had heat exhaustion once, on Mt Beacon in NY State when I was a camp counselor
NOT FUN
Hi Pam!
Hi, kje
hi, lil
I guess I am going with ability to disappate heat.
hello
good luck red! Sounds like there will be some tricky questons
I hope they have not revised test.
why isn't "owie" a word?
I hope so, too, red!
also kje, with like retavase, which is the most common reperfusion arrhtyhmia...
I hate being tested...
I thought V fib, but my pal says its Complete Heart Block??
i love living vicariously through you red and kje and lil!
red, that would be a very unlikely test question to differentiate between those 2 at a finite level...
When I google, I get a bunch of discussion of reperfusion arrhythmias, but no most common.
*puts on glasses and trys to look smart*
Actually kje, its on the test that the hosp was using revised Dec 2007.
pls dont ask how i can across that gem.
RE perfusion is VT... MI Sx is heart block
this is a hospital test???
or a recert test?
VT is not an option but VF is and is the only Vent arrhythmia,
A hospital test. it actually seems standard, I've taken a bunch like this.
now you've lost me with the acronym mumbo jumbo
sorry monkey. boring, I am nervous...
really??? had no idea... why would they do that if you are board certified... whatever they do is not standardized and ridiculous
no , not boring!
booycot the test!
red, you will do fine... most important on those things is just basic test taking skills
Everywhere I go I get to take at the lest an arrhythmia exam....those people that say we travel because we are "bad" nurses or drug addicts....make me so mad.
this is a bit more about 120 questions...
if it is the test.
they cannot tell anything from that test that is beyond your licensing and past recs... that is just some nurse manager gone haywire
that stinks, red
But if we fail, we are out of a Job....
Have you heard of the PBDS?
I had never heard that about travelers, red... we just always assumed they did it to make more money
not off the top of my head
I've heard a variety of things..
peanut butter dam syndrome?
is that what elvis had?
or was that clinton?
performance based something something....they show you a 30 second video...and then want you to make a diagnosis...and prescribe all treatments...
one of them loved PB sandwiches
Liek i am a diagnostician...
or a prescriber.
I think it was Elvis.
And if you fail you have to pack up and go home...
but... you are a RN... you can neither dx or prescribe by law.... so who the hell cares
I care only because if I fail...in truth they show vingettes like someone clutching chest and want to know you will put oxygen on the pt...
Elvis loved PB sandwiches
i think it was elvis, he added bananas to the pb, Sorry, I am eavesdropping, this puzzle is too hard!
i think he liked them grilled or toasted
red... I say this with love.... but go get a steady job where you will be respected and will have friends who can take care of your dog, and can make a home
but some places have been really nutty
there is no eavesdropping in babble - it is a free for all - LOLOL
story this grid was horrible!!!
yes red, and make that job here in Norfolk, Va (and YOU TOO kajee)
I have 13 left
WWe'll see. I would like to get a non emergency job some day.
Go DR GO!!!
ya hoo DR
i have 35 left dammit
but right now, must away with the dog yet again.
thank you all for help....
go monkey doorknob goooo!
Hang in there Red!
(((RED))))
i love the penalty box icon, DR
Hi, dr!
ty Monky- it just stuck
c'mon babblers, let's du4 !!!!!!!!!
Hi Pam!
* Monkey- SORRY!
hi DR - curry ready monkey... passing you a bowl of rice and curry
that du is funny, thanks lil
curry? yum. Is it non-meat?
OMG
I need to eat more legumes...
it's freaking delicious
*mopping sweat from brow*
sorry pam, has chicken... but how strict are you... can just give you veggies if you like
Hi KJE! Got my son's progress report today. H went from a tiny school of 30 kids to a class of 35
thanks, but the chicken fat is the problem... not strict, can't digest it...
how did he do DR??? brilliantly I am sure!
How'd he do, DR?
I am so proud of him. He got all A's! He is in fourth grade
hardly any fat, pam... all breast... had to use oil in th pan
Thanks both of you!
WOOO HOOOO, dr!
woohoo DRs kid!!!!
The school has honor roll starting in the fourth grade. at the end of the year they get to go bowling with th eprincipal
and he LOVES bowling so that is the incentive.
ho wfun, DR.., tell him we all said good job... and to keep it up!!!
I am especially proud because when he wasin kindergarten- they said he was unteachable
VERY excellent, dr! And, I second KJE
does he ever play babble, DR?
UNTEACHABLE? A kindergartener? That is just absurd....
excuse me... unteachable??? no such thing
TY Both! He does help me sometimes
idiots
It was a personality conflict and he was bored
KJE, once again, you and i are in sync....
he also likes bookworm and text twist and sudoku
In first grade, my parents were told I was what is now called developmentally disabled. Their proof? I did not seem to look at the books and would do something else.
DR... I spent the majority of grade school being in trouble for staring out the window and daydreaming.... whatever!
My mother roared, LOL.
all my report cards also said "kathryn talks too much in class" -
She was asked whether I was asked to read something? I taught myself to read when I was about two and apparently I was bored. So much for their diagnostics...
that one got me in trouble at home
LOL kajee... one of mine said Laurie talks to much and doesn't eat her lunch, and sucks her thumb all day
KJE, we really ARE in sync, LOLOLOL. I agreed to read my own books in my lap once I finished the asinine see jane or other boring crap, LOLOL
His big mistake was painting a "self portrait" and giving himself blue hair... as for talking to much... that was ME> He has already gotten moved for that but th eteacher is great
well... you showed them pam... and DR,, he will do great! some teachers can be assholes
oh those stupid Dick and Jane books
Pam seems bored and needs to be more interested in her classroom activiites
it goes to their head or something.... I am just glad he didn't internalize that
LOL, dr... so much for creativity
HE is reading the Lemony Snicket series
Ditto to what kje said... good thing he has you around so he doesn't take that crap seriously
exactly, pam... like it is OUR fault THEY are boring - LOL
I am too Kje. It was one of my fears of putting him back in public school
DR, i taught for years before deciding to go to med school.... what the parents do at home far outweighs anything the school can do... so thankfully, you are there
need more... brb
just found the di5... as in that stupid rap moron mogul, Puff Di5 or P. Di5
ty Monkey- I needed that one
What did you teach, kje
yw, DR
and yes, teachers need to act excited so that the students ARE excited 8-)
thanks, kik
*lil
I am a typing MESS today!
I try Kje.. sometimes I wonder what I am going to do when he gets older and I do not understand anything he is talking about LOL
LOL, i was thinking "who is kik"

no keyboard? ??? then how dost thou babble?
sounds interesting, cross
cool, crossy!

Hi Pam hi stid;)
crossy's answer: dkjfnw lblabblehs idntnhe
It learns from my mistakes a literal be a few typos as that learned so I speak
lol
LOL LeslieAnn!
Hi, crosshair
i can do either the keyboard or the vioce at this point
howdy jellen
hi, crossy. my niece has that, crossy.
very fancy, cross!
actually, it seems that I need to lie down for a bit. feeling quite peculiar. oh well. I'll be back next weekend, sooner if I manage to get other things done in good order! *poof*
feel better, stid!
Ciao, stid good luck!
the program if any of you are interested is called dragon speaking naturally
does it talk back to you, crossy!?
Bye, stid...take care!
take care, stiddy
The box won't take my message, Stid. Boo-hoo
No Pini it does not talk back to me
lol i still find myself reaching for the keyboard
what prompted it, cross?
I was asking why you had become Canadian, but what the heck. Get better.
* I know there are some computers that read what's on the screen (i.e., for the blind) *
hetty, I think she's moved till after the election :-)
hetty, some of us Americans are choosing other countries of residence until W is out of office
hi, une
my deteriorating keyboards every month and my endless typos,once it learns my speech patterns,ill be albe to do text at over 140 words per minute;)
good morning all - back to do my last 20
hey, pam :-)
That makes sense, Uni. I empathise with you and Pam
hi, tanja
thanks . . .
thanks, hetty...
hi tanja.
Dang...that's faster than I can type!
I find that is very hard to break your mindset of using a keyboard every time though
ugh such a fish last word. fireworks!
(and I can type fast)
how many left pini?
wtg, les!!!
woohoo leslie
Yay for Leslie 21 gun salute for you!
wow, cross, that will be greaat!
YAYA, leslie!
It's quite neat I've not touched the keyboard in the last five minutes
Yay, LeslieAnn!!!!
Crossy, do you have to say something before so the computer recognized whether or not you are talking to it or someone in the room?
For to recognize your voice you have to read a script of a chapter or two of your favorite novel so recognizes your accent many nuances in your language
I wonder if there are any babblers who are happy with the status quo. My guess wouold be not.
As you can see it is not perfect yet
yes there are hetty... they are on occasionally in the evenings
It does filter out any coughs or hiccups
I suppose we'll not only have to become fluent in typonese, but speakonese as well! lol
not me hetty. just spent 3 weeks in your neck of the woods. tempting.
LOL, pini!
skooj.... I'll come with you : )
dunno, "happy with the status quo" is asking quite a lot
I can cook.... and am handy with a map
Hi, nrkii. Well said!
I haven't been watching the char very closely for a while, having personal problems of my own, but my heart goes out to those who grieve for their country.
Hope you are OK, or will be soon, Hetty!
watching the char?
ed4/7 & 5/18?
perfect, kje. I cook too and am a good mapreader. and BC is gorgeous.
does anyone have a clue for su6,24 ? please
living on the ed** and past tense, pink
thx!
http://www.nuancestore.com/v2.0-img/op erations/scansoft/site/513201/513201_d ns-talk.html
su6 - PT of su4
I kept trying the other E for that one... now I know what I wasn't getting it
su 6/24 past tense of su4/5 male dress clothes
ooh, sorry hetty. hope all is well soon.
Thanks, Pam. It's not me, but my husband who needs good karma.
on its way, Hetty, on its way.
sending it out, hetty.
any other clues before i go?
thanks!!!
te5?
te6,27?
Thanks all.
te5 = te + not you + not ego or superego

like mr. roosevelt
*babblers
I have that one, nrkii...
I think...
love your icon, une.
tx :-)
that's the only te5
in that case, I apparently don't...will keep monkeying from your clue...thx!
te 6,27 ?
not getting the ego part
i clued at 8:25, cwest
te + double vowel + two-point letter
comic strip, the Wizard of ** ??
te + double vowel + two-point letter
not the ego, but the **, first part of i5/12, pini
te6= te + double consonant + past tense
te6 past tense of Roosevelt (Rough Rider, not FDR)

G'night, Min

eveing, minver, how are you?
No wine for me...We're staying in a hospital room right now...forget snacks in the car, too!
Forgot, not forget, augh!
id5 is how i feel today :)
impossible dc
Hey, wait... Why did my computer log me in when I didn't even type the password?
ooh, spooky!
how's hubby, jellen?
I can identify, dc!
you're staying in a hospital room?
babble cookies your pwd for some while, bobert
Tim is sleeping now. Having a rough time with the interferon treatments...
thanks *phew*
not impossible, kje, we all have our moments/hours/days....
As concerned as you are about Tim, please remember to take care of yourself too, Jellen
yes, what autumn said!
Yes, kje. They're letting us stay in a hospitality room during the week so we don't have to commute.
and rough time with interferon is fairly common, if trying.
sorry to hear that jellen... it can make you feel like a bad case of the flu - ugh... sympathies for tim
give him a hug for all of us here and let him know we're all thinking of him (okay, maybe that's just me...)
yes, that he heals and feels better as soon as can be.
I'm having trouble getting him to take meds to alleviate the symptoms---very stubborn!
meh, he should give in and go with the meds
typical male pt... let him suffer, eventually he'll give in
NOTHING is gained by being manly about it. hmph
you would think dc.... but you would be amazed with some guys... they have to feel bad first
brb...he's awake and agreed to take some pills!
yay jellen
yes, i know kje, bit i can be cranky about, no?
YAY! give them to him quick, before he changes his mind
cool, jellen
LOL autumn
or, kje, some guys are just total babies when it comes to being sick/ill

sigh.... guess I'll go do it... grumble grumble grumble
nice....I just let my dau cook and clean up!
I'll be thinkin' of ya, kje!

i clean as i go, but still have the basic dishes stuff... send your daughter my way pini...
You can take her!!!
drown? in the kitchen? now that would take some talent
Oh...gosh, I said that kinda fast...
hmmm... that was too easy... maybe I don't want her - LOL
hehe
bbl
we'll be here!
could someone clue the 2nd T in the first row down ,please? It is making me crazy!
gads, I've gotta figure out which one it is!
oh...
te6/27
hey pini, i think it's the past tense of mr. roosevelt.
That'd be it!
that's the clue i'm offering.
i'm sorry. It shows that there is one word off of that t, but I see quite a few but not getting credit for that T
refrest, story (F5)
There are other T's that can make the same words...but it really is the PT of Mr. Roosevelt's first name
(dbl cons in the middle)
listen to pini!!
story, you get that one?
try this...
no, still trying. I think I have been staring at this too long today
Nickname for Theodore (Te*) + Drop **** Fred (cute little movie (remove 1 vowel)
i don't get the double cons
Story...think of a bra size!
lol
( circled right back around to the boob thing again, eh )
Figures!
got it?
1 more try: te + bra size Double * + pt
it always comes back to the boobs, doesn't it. I will get this!!
well, i am sorry, but you are handing it over on a silver platter!
That's because you KNOW what it is, smiles!
ok, sure.
OK...
urg, i just get your slues easy too.
TE + bra size Double * + Special ** (special needs classroom)
clues!
And the angels sing and dance!!!!!!! Got it. thanks everyone
How's that for being even more creative!
see!
congrats!
YEAH!!!
Hey, I could've stayed away from the boobs again had I said "Double *utch"!!!!
why are people romanced by the "joe the plumber" shtick?
absolutely no clue, smiles!
yummmm.chocolate
* perk * chocolate????
sorry
Where?
Where?
Where?
got caught up in the news
anyway, sexual innuendo is easy because it cuts across cultural differences fairly easy.
good point
the whole "wink wink nudge nudge" is one of those things that expresses embarrassment easily. so it's just something we all do, like laughing.
so very true!
anyway. how to you keep from getting bored waiting to clue people?
(sorry...had to flip channels)
ha!
Sometimes I'll go play another game elsewhere with this windo open in the corner...

nope, really
yes it is
hm
I can teach you some if you like...
cribbage, online?
(I play on sites that are interactive with other people)
yes!
oh
did you learn before you found the game online?
My dad taught all of us kids how to play cribbage when we were little...
...it's a game that he used to play with his dad.
that's cool. my gramdpa taught me poker.
We used to play penny-ante poker...
hey, who has the money for anything but penny ante?
We play cribbage for quarters per game win...double if you skunk your opponent!
skunk, what kind of slang is that?
It's when you "lap" your opponent!
wanna go learn it?
it's not hard!
??? lap????
hehe
You've seen a cribbage board, no?
with the little pegs?
it might be too late to gtry to learn something so new. brain is under the influence of beer.
