lol... we are all learning to appreciate lickety even more

12:41 am

maybe he's having connection trouble again :(

12:42 am

I dunno about that. I already had the highest esteem for him. he does this stuff for us, and he's obviously a dedicated husband and father. how many of those are there around, anyway? not many I've seen

or still moving & settling in?

ditto that tyger

12:42 am

that could be, jilli. with new service, you never know what to expect

12:43 am

could be that, too, volley, but I'd rather have it for today than yesterday :P

1:31 am

but hes prepared to wait the two year period until my divorce is thru and wants to sell up and move down here - he is a 7 hour drive away

1:31 am

well he obviously knows when he has found a real catch. So let him wait. :)

1:31 am

but way to early to be even thinking of anything like that lol

1:32 am

wow..

1:32 am

as far as the house - yes deleted clause about control of the house but insert clause saying i cannot sell the house until logan turns 18 except in extraordinary circumstances

1:32 am

1:32 am

agreed

1:33 am

and anyway there are two guys on here that i really would like to get to know better one is 4 years older the other is 10 years older and only works 15 min walk away from my work lol

1:33 am

lol mrP

1:34 am

thanks lickety, will be back to use them in the morning

I don't want presents this year. I want the bills to be gone

2:07 am

i want babble made part of the schools cirriculum, that will improve our flagging nations vocabulary and illiteracy (aimed at the UK!)

I don't that would mean more trolls

2:08 am

okay anyone who signs up in 2009 cannot use the chat

How about a stern beating for those that misbehave?

2:10 am

who would give out those beatings?

2:11 am

I would prefer a special school Babble site then, and keep those kids away from here please.

2:12 am

with special words that you use such as innit and whateva

2:12 am

that they use*

2:13 am

sprite you just read my mine i totally agree we had those problems before due to chidren being in here they need their own site

2:13 am

you just want rid of me. i can take a hint loredana

i dont know

2:14 am

Hello all - In early internet days I tried chat rooms for over 50 and believe me some of them were worse than the kids we have had on here

2:14 am

no hints education is the responsibility of parents and teachers

2:14 am

hi ursh

2:15 am

I didn't enjoy the troll invasions. I'd welcome nice kids, no problem. But they usually get overshadowed by the troll-like ones.

2:15 am

hi ursh

2:15 am

i dont think i have ever encountered a troll here but im not here that much i suppose

2:16 am

hmmm connection probs here

had them earlier here, too dart

2:17 am

we have had 2 periods where a teacher had brought babble to the attention of her class and we got some very unpleasant invasions. With name calling, etc.

2:17 am

feels likes it's 2 am all the time now grrrr

2:17 am

a single troll is easy to handle, but a horde is difficult.

2:17 am

Have managed to get to 100 left and nbt. Sorry for using filthy language but need to get some h/work done. bbl

2:18 am

i vaguely remember an aussie school being a problem?

2:18 am

lol ursh, and good luck

2:18 am

ursh lovely to see you have fun

2:18 am

Fireworks for me

3:23 am

Minted melon cocktail, gingered pineapple and kiwi, melon and sorbet. Fruit is the demonstrator's friend. Good for you, colourful, easy to prepare ahead of time.

3:25 am

This grid looks inviting.

3:25 am

mmm like the sound of those esp the melon and sorbet

3:26 am

So far it's fun, but they're always fun at the beginning.

3:26 am

not too bad so far but am still on the first run through

3:27 am

It's always nice when you can see words straight away, it kind of gives you hope.

3:29 am

Cs 4 x10 , 5 x 8 , 6 x 5 ,7 x 4 for loriP

Goodness, fancy you missing a plural, Lori.

3:33 am

Thusly, I finally greyed the bottom row. Now I can set th screen properly. :/

3:33 am

so unusual!

3:33 am

Such a rare event, isn't it Haz.

3:34 am

Extremely rare.

3:34 am

Perhaps I'll jot it on the calendar.

does the babble board really take up nearly your entire screen, lori?

3:35 am

No, the ten year diary might be best.

3:35 am

It's such an old, small monitor josh.

reminds me of the prehistoric computers i used to use

3:36 am

It is an ag6/30 monitor. It needs L'Oreal with Pro-Elastin.

now i have a fancy new imac, and the babble board is about the size of a coaster

3:37 am

That would be no use for ladies with ag6 eyes. Not that Lori is as old as me.

well, one of the cool things about macs is you can hold down the control key and scroll with your mouse's scroll wheel to zoom waaaaaay in or out with ease :)

3:38 am

I'm an oil of Olay kinda' gal. :)

3:39 am

You get used to old monitors when 'yer old. :)

3:39 am

You and me both, Lori.

they're not old monitors, just experienced

3:40 am

It amuses me greatly to see all the adverts with fancy imaginative ingredients.

3:40 am

since when was 42 classified as bring old, huh?

3:40 am

lol josh

3:41 am

'elastin' is my personal fave.

42 isn't old, it's the answer to the fundamental question of the universe

3:41 am

it is indeed :)

3:41 am

42 is old-ish

3:41 am

And why do they use models with not a wrinkle in sight?

3:42 am

Why am I asking stupid questions?

3:42 am

lol

3:43 am

Self explanatory. Not me though, I'm quite secure in the ag*** process, and not the elast bit afraid of the wrinkles the spawnlings gave me.

got all the w's on my own. i am so proud of me

3:44 am

But do your children not help to rejuvenate you? It's what happens to all the celebrities.

3:45 am

The fact that their face is pulled as tight as a drum is neither here nor there.

3:47 am

so many of the words I want today need a t, sigh.

3:48 am

Yea josh! Spwanlings rejuvenate????? they're predators.

3:48 am

I'm trying to use that ish ending but enable isn't being very imaginative. gonish for when you're not quite out of the door, dannish for being Mr Quayle-like.

haz, that 2nd one is very close to an actual word in the grid

3:49 am

take a letter out of mr Quale for a sweet treat

3:49 am

And I don't think ingeish is going to be much use either.

3:50 am

It's why I gave Mr Quayle a double consonant helping.

3:50 am

would that be like sort of demanding a list?

3:51 am

Something along those lines. She'll be happy today.

3:52 am

I'm sure there;s a collective sigh of relief at Lickety's triumphant return.

3:53 am

lol just tried go5/16 and it worked

3:53 am

I would think so.

3:53 am

fireworks, but now i cant babble anymore :\

3:53 am

Congratulations bf.

3:53 am

congrats bf

3:53 am

Congratulations, bf. Is this a curse that has been visited upon you by a passing pedlar?

3:54 am

indeed he granted me 3 wishes but i didnt read the small print

3:54 am

You must always read the small print.

3:55 am

Small print gets you every time. This involves your immortal soul I bet.

3:55 am

well i know that now! one of my wishes should have been tp up the small print font

3:56 am

This is the sort of stuff they should be teaching in schools.

3:56 am

What's the use of knowing about triangles and things when you're left not knowing about reading small print?

3:57 am

weeee found a 9

3:57 am

i should visit a school in thei lucn hhour and pass on some valuable life lessons!

3:57 am

Especially when ones soul is at stake.

change one letter for the other 9, FM

3:57 am

Yea for FM!

i mean, that wasn't a hint/clue, forget i said anything

3:57 am

They'll not let you in, bf, until you've had a full police criminal record check.

3:58 am

lol josh

3:58 am

ah theres nothing on there!

3:58 am

What sort of youth did you have?

3:59 am

No indiscretions at all?

3:59 am

plenty, but i was a fast runner

3:59 am

Or maybe the surveillance cameras were switched off at the time.

4:00 am

yes... switched off... thats what it was!

4:00 am

Another g and we could have leggings back again. As in bf was noted for his youthful leggings.

4:00 am

have you been speaking to my parents, hah

4:01 am

I have my sources.

4:02 am

4:11 am

4:16 am

I like your icon FM is that where you live?

It's actually very near to where Atalante lives, I'm about 2 hours away from her. She took the pic

4:18 am

I see,what is the red is it soil or wheat?

4:18 am

They are poppies growing wild, a beautiful sight.

4:20 am

I used the pic for Remembrance Day

4:20 am

I bet it is!! I love to take pictures like that. Nature can be so beautiful at times even the snow if I can stay inside>>>:)

4:21 am

OKay, time I was getting ready to go out. I'll be back later so be good in the meantime. Bye!

5:39 am

5:39 am

Hello everyone. Another big grid. Yesterday was a day of relative rest.

5:40 am

hello Scrabbler:)

5:40 am

G'd morning Scrabbler. :) Nice grid so far.

5:40 am

back for a bit :)

5:40 am

and perfect timing, scrabs, I have a question for you *angelic innocent spaniel eyes*

5:40 am

You getting a 'Head' start today? ;p

5:40 am

I don't know much about spaniels though.

5:40 am

wb Ata. Hobbit subdued for now?

5:41 am

hello Atalante:)

5:41 am

I don't think anyone does. They are a world unto themselves

5:41 am

yep - she ate a dogfish intestine

5:41 am

Great source of protein...*GAG*

5:42 am

but quick question - is there any way to search for specialists in the US that deal with certain specialities (ie weirdo autoimmune conditions!)

5:42 am

Ahh, then hobbit's life is now whole. Unlike the net mangling shark.

5:43 am

I would go to the Cleveland Clinic or NYU or Mayo Clinic--major medical hubs. What city would be easiest to go to?

5:44 am

West coast? I know you go to oregon a lot.

5:44 am

we;re just starting to try and look further afield for options for Claire - her surgeons here have basically now admitted they can't do anything, and they can't recommend any automimmune person, so we're reduced to trawling the net etc for brilliant people anywhere!

5:46 am

What about Cedars -Sinai Scrabbler?

5:46 am

One way they COULD help would be to look at the medical literature and see the names of the top US specialists publishing studies and articles....but we can do our work too.

5:46 am

Yes, west coast: UCLA, UCSF, among many.

5:46 am

coming away from the grid for a while bb

5:46 am

Pop off an e-mail Ata, and I

5:47 am

I'm sure they *could* do a lot more, but they aren't going to. And I'm sure I can find the same info as them if I try!

5:47 am

***stoopid enter key*** I'd be glad to help search

5:47 am

Later jean, great to see ya'.

5:48 am

**looking at Cleveland Clinic site...and my friend is a neurologist there too**

5:48 am

imiised what you were searching for but i would like to help your search

5:49 am

ty lori, you are the best! I just wish claire had something easy to describe and find someone for, but "unknown autoimmune disorders" is so vague

5:49 am

ive done much medical research in regards to my daughter

5:49 am

Ata, if your Health system is like ours, you have to advocate and be aggressive, or they'll surrender quickly.

5:50 am

I may surprise you Ata. Totally up to you, but I'm glad to help if I can.

5:50 am

With #3 and his vision problem, I kicked ass from here to there until he got help.

5:50 am

Hi Looney--my middle name is Looney

5:51 am

nice to meet you

5:51 am

Ata, what about insurance coverage for her in the US?

5:51 am

My outlook is looney! G'd morning

5:51 am

my daughter had an immune disorder

5:51 am

any help is most welcome! we're just trying to find *anyone* who works with automimmune diseases and seems willing to look way far outside the box. Actually, we want House. but a real one. but no lupus

5:51 am

i spent forever looking

5:51 am

lol, it's always Lupus on house. :)

5:52 am

Searching medical papers is a good start. Seeking dr's theories and clinical trials, IMO

5:52 am

maybe we should get her tested for lupus anyway. just to see :P

5:52 am

I'm sorry to hear that looney, I can imagine!

5:53 am

I love when they say Lupus on House. Uni and I latch right on to it.... :p

5:53 am

what are the symptoms

5:53 am

what country are you in Looney, if you don't mind saying.

5:53 am

I spent yesterday evening looking through medical papers, and bookmarked a few to go back through over the next few days

Hi all!

5:53 am

G'd morning red

5:54 am

im in the us. houston tx

5:54 am

you name it, she's got it. from general crohn's symptoms to non-healing, to bone disintegration to constant infection!

this grid is more like it!!!!

5:55 am

Another place, Ata, is Mount Sinai in NYC--we send kids there that have complex allergy/immunology issues.

5:55 am

Thanks Looney, appreciate that. Isn't Texas somewhat laden with good Medical Centers as well?

5:55 am

*writes down*

5:55 am

Hi red

5:55 am

yes we have some of the best here

hi Scrabbler

5:57 am

we officially can't take claire out of the country, but if we were bringing her over to a hospital, I'm sure it would be a different matter. We just have to try and do *something*!

5:57 am

I also might suggest you scour blogs as well.

5:57 am

Is there any place in Europe that is better than what you are getting now, Ata?

5:57 am

oooooo good idea!

5:58 am

have they tested her for lymes disease yet?

5:58 am

I imagine you've already been here http://www.immunetolerance.org/researc h/autoimmune/

5:58 am

I'm looking, Scrabs, I'm working through france at the moment!

5:59 am

I got some good leads from blogs in the past. Just a thought

The American hospital in Paris is quite good, but having had health care in Paris at the not American hospital, i was less impressed.

5:59 am

good morning everyone;)

6:00 am

it's a brilliant idea, lori!

6:00 am

Also: National Institutes of Health in US.

Hi Crossy!!!!!!!!!!

6:00 am

I know the German health system is meant to be very good, I'm going there next!

6:00 am

Hi Crossy

6:01 am

G'd morning cross. Feeling better and betterer every day?

6:01 am

does she ever get what lookls like a blister from a burn on her and then the skin peels away?

6:01 am

indeed lori:) and i get my results tommorow:)

6:01 am

BRB--getting breakfast and another cup of tea

I am also coming back, gotta get some coffee into me...

6:02 am

not *yet*. I'm sure she will at some point!

6:02 am

Excelelnt cross, I'm sure we're all rubbing 'yer back and holding our breath with you. :)

6:03 am

here? http://www3.niaid.nih.gov/topics/autoi mmune/

6:03 am

***inappropriately giggles every time she sees Lupus***

6:04 am

as they told it to me the last time i did this,the chemo continues to work in the system for up to a month after the last treatment,hench the wait for final diagnosis

6:04 am

oh so do I, Lori

6:04 am

"get an LP!

6:04 am

atalante..... have her tested for LYMES DISEASE

6:04 am

you goggle cause you think/lupislupine and see my pretty lil wolf icon;0

6:04 am

goggle?...giggle

6:05 am

if the test comes back negative have it done again

6:05 am

we don't really have Lymes Disease over here, looney. but I guess we could try anyway, they have ticks in france

6:06 am

didnt have lymes diseasw where we wre eith or so they thouoght

6:06 am

can't that be treated with antibios though?

6:06 am

we get something like it out west,rocky mtn spotted fever from wood tics or so ive heard

6:06 am

my doctor did the test 3 times before he got a positive

6:07 am

it doesnt always respond to the testing

it would be unusual for someone not in the US to have lymes.

6:07 am

its a very trickey thing that attacks the immune system

6:07 am

Lyme disease etsts routinely produce false negatives.

I had rockey mt Spotted fever crossy....it was a horrific thingy.

6:07 am

yes they do lori

6:08 am

i can just imagine it was red

6:08 am

my daughter developed allerges that wee life threatning had the blister burns looking things on her face and arms and chest

6:08 am

had trouble fighting infections

6:08 am

Lyme disease was confirmed in Nova Scotia a few years ago. People still remain very unaware of where it exists in Canada.

6:08 am

joint problems

6:09 am

just a multple of things

but the thing is, once you start on the Meds i really got better quickly.

6:09 am

The rash is a pretty static even in Lyme though 'specially early on, and one would remember that. I don't remember Ata ever mentioning that.

6:10 am

i never saw the bulls eye type rash on my daughter

6:10 am

and she's been on at least 4 types of antibios for over 10 years now, I think one might have got it

6:10 am

i think im almost seeing the word for the instrument that detects radiation,but im not sure..might be a phantom...:/

6:11 am

phantom, crossy--E and R do not touch

6:11 am

Has she ever had a period of grace Ata? As in, ever symptom free?

6:11 am

nope, she's 35 now and beengetting steadily worse since she was 18

6:12 am

I assume she was tested for HIV, Ata?

6:12 am

thought so scrabbs..i better put the kettle on for sum tea

6:13 am

actually, you know, probably not! HIV testing can't be done here without specific approval

6:13 am

HIV testing wasn't done???? Wow

6:13 am

but with the amount of surgeries she's had, I'm sure the hospitals would know, even if they wouldn't say anything

6:13 am

I'm shocked.

6:14 am

im sitting here stunned at the thought of that test not being done as well

6:14 am

why would they? you don't standradly tested for hiv here

6:14 am

Make sure she gets that test, Ata! And T-cell counts, phagocyte functions, ...BASIC immune functions: T and C cells, complement levels...

6:15 am

Yikes, Ata! If you don't know someone has HIV then you cannot treat someone for HIV.

6:15 am

As a blood recipient in 1987, when the Canadian system had just begun HIV testing in January of that year, I requested HIV testing at several poitns in time after that. paranoid....

To be honest if she had HIV testing for any reason she would have to give consent. its not routienely done here either but ith her on going symptoms, to be honest if she had untreated HIV by now....

6:15 am

I dont' think I know anyone who has ever had an HIV test. Apart from Lori now!

6:15 am

i recieved blood products all through that period as well lori and have had the test

6:15 am

Honestly, I'm shocked. that'd be the first thing to rule out, in mu non medical opinion.

I've had about 6....because of my work with medecins Sans Frontieres...

6:16 am

Yes, I thought that too, red, she has been ill for 14 yrs.

6:16 am

cross knows. It was peace of mind. For me at least.

6:16 am

looney? are you from tangleword?

6:16 am

True enough Scrabbler, red.

6:16 am

indeed lori,i was run over by a car that year and took 4 pints of blood on board

6:17 am

maybe she did a long time ago, but I don't remember it ...

6:17 am

im from houston texas

6:17 am

*yawn* morning all

6:17 am

I had 5, result of a drunk driving incident. I ahd no choice.

6:17 am

Geez, crossy!

6:18 am

6:18 am

6:18 am

jor what was your name ... minw was the same

6:18 am

It's good so far, jorjah, but then I have to work from 8:30-8 and will lose my mind!!!

6:18 am

lol Scrabbler, believe me, I'm grateful for every single day my feet hit the floor.

6:18 am

people knock the med system,but i would not be sitting here today without them:)

6:19 am

Sounds absolutely AWFUL to me, Crossy, but, yes, it could have been worse.

6:19 am

Mine was the same too.... You ever here from

6:19 am

Fire?

6:19 am

am to pm Scrab?

6:19 am

there is a site called cobradragon the game now is called serpentine

6:20 am

life has been interesting so far;)

6:20 am

still not awake good... that was supposed to read... you ever hear from FIre?

6:20 am

no haven't

6:21 am

Ata, there's a facility in Montreal that's nagging at the back of my brain. Will try to find it. Maybe if I stop trying to recall it.

6:21 am

tytytytytyty

6:21 am

lol jorja! you have to flesh out that profile a tad.it is a bit...sparse;/

6:21 am

Yep, a very long day, and then I am on call. I will eagerly come back here tonight.

6:22 am

Another day of hand holding and placating Scrabbler?

6:22 am

o dont know how you docs do it day after day tbh scrabbs

Have a great day Scrabbler...

6:22 am

brb

6:22 am

Yep, and explaining why antibiotics are not needed for Junior's cold and cough.

6:23 am

yup nothing like creating super bugs;((

6:23 am

I can stay a few more minutes, I was just stating what I have to look forward too.

6:23 am

I could prob'ally learn the medical side, but my bedside manner would get me fired. I applaud you scrabbler, because I would prob'ally tell people to smarten up and engage some common sense.

Smiles broadly, stating, I have the day off...but am still recovering from Sunday...

6:23 am

lol same here, lori

6:24 am

But, Crossy, the Mad Momma's KNOW that the antibiotic is necessary or else Junior won't get better.

6:24 am

crossy looks out the window....and sees 2 feet of snow:((((

6:24 am

People seem somehow offended that their chidl ahs a totally ordinary illness that will go away on its own. Everybody wants a magic wand.

6:24 am

good morning everyone - have a few minutes before I have to go off into the other world

6:24 am

***Lori is glad she's not lookin' out crossy's window***

6:24 am

The tough Momma's are the on4 that challenge me and demand an antibiotic, despite my explanations.

6:25 am

the other world looks mean today jbv;(

6:25 am

G'd mornign JBV. ***what is this other world of which you speak?*** :)

6:25 am

Hi JBV (JBV and husband)--doing OK?

6:25 am

here's my outlook: a very boring meeting from 10-12, then I get to go talk to 4th graders about my career, that will be fun

6:25 am

We have about 5 inches of snow and it is 24 degrees F here.

6:25 am

hi, scrabs, thanks- we're counting down to Thursday, tomorrow he will be on "prep" - you know what that means

6:25 am

it is -6 c here atm

6:26 am

brrrrrrrr!!!

6:26 am

Ata... http://www.cihr-irsc.gc.ca/e/25892.htm l

No snow, record cold for Florida...

6:27 am

It's +1 here cross. Right down balmy.... :p

6:27 am

give us the temp so we can giggle red....

6:27 am

I had that before one of my operations, JBV, and thought I would die before I even had surgery.

form a group and hit the PB all youse who said the word sn**

LOL cross, 48 f. tonight it is supposed to drop into 20's

6:28 am

if we hadn't done it before, that comment would scare me scrabs, :)

6:28 am

oooh ty! *an aside* I love their canada maple leaf logo

6:28 am

AWW CRUD! we cant all fit in the pb

well then take turns

6:29 am

I didn't *smug*

6:29 am

so here's a question for all of you, what would you tell 4th graders about how and why you came to LOVE learning about words, etc.

Oooh we can Crossy, i will fry up some country bacon?

Well, Ata, we are going to have a lovely party and you shall wish you saud Sn...

6:29 am

McGill Uni was where I was thinking of Ata.

6:29 am

ill bring the bacon,you bring the eggs and someone grab some toast

6:30 am

Absolutely JBV!

6:30 am

nooooo no sn**!

6:30 am

**** <- sn**flakes!

6:30 am

sn** is evil. Next to Santa

6:30 am

lolol Ata

6:31 am

Sorry to scare you, JBV--keep but I reacted with both ends going and got so weak. Keep him hydrated. Tell the kids: read, read, read!!

Ata is not included she will have to look through the PB door, nose pressed up against the glass while we toast with egg nog and juice.

6:31 am

ooo heard of McGill. think I know someone who works there

6:31 am

Show them some cool words, like supercalifraglisticexpialidocius.

6:31 am

exactly, Scrabbler, that was on my list of things to tell them - reading is the key

6:56 am

*smile* thanks Ata...sometimes you just need to hear it besides hearing it in your head... to hear it outloud in someone elses voice other than your own

6:57 am

yes! one day you'll just wake up and go through a day and suddenly think huh? I feel ok / haven't thought of / whatever ... don't push it, it will happen

6:58 am

as my son gets older christmas feelings used to fade untill we teamed up and took a portion of what we would of wasted on each other and shared it around,we go to the church and do gift baskets for familys that are having it tough this year.one year we did a teddy bear drive for toronto sick kids hospital so that every child stuck in there over christmas got a bear..many things to do and the warm feeling that returns is a great thing

6:58 am

And in time you will remember only the 'good stuff' and not the painful parting.

crossy that is awesome.

6:59 am

7:49 am

oh my crossy.... sounds like you have been socializing more than word searching LOL

7:49 am

7:50 am

7:50 am

a big bird eva

7:52 am

one of them is a gerund of a babblet 4 we often have

the american bald ea5

7:52 am

running along the form of ac6 (in pain).

7:52 am

not from that bottom E, i have that already

7:53 am

thanks hurshy!

7:53 am

7:55 am

good morning... could I have a hint for the ne7 please

7:55 am

7:56 am

oho, there's an ne7!

7:56 am

what happened while i slept???? what happened to our nice sweet little grid???

7:56 am

Lol, Kje. It was eaten by this grid.

7:57 am

so, it is THAT mean huh?

7:57 am

not mean just cumbersome I think

7:57 am

the first 200 were easy...

7:57 am

hurshy... i like your icon and completely agree with teh sentiment

ne7 is a cocktail made from sweet vermouth, gin, and bitters. pl it for the 8

7:58 am

ty kje :)

7:58 am

bother, alcohol words are so unfair to us teetotallers

7:58 am

I was thinking the same thing Hursy

7:59 am

That sounds perfectly disgusting. But, I still have no idea what the ne7 is.

7:59 am

but there are other advantages you guys have... like not having to juggle a glass of wine when you babble : )

7:59 am

google's telling me it's an income tax cocktail.

8:00 am

that description, i mean.

ok lets try this ..... not positve but ***ative + maca**** pasta

8:00 am

ne7 - ne5 prefix for black + **ts are baby lice

8:00 am

That's a clue I can understand! Ty!

8:00 am

8:01 am

Yuck. Gin.

8:02 am

8:02 am

There are only two, LadyN. Hope you got them both.

Lady the other one is almost the same just change first vowel

8:02 am

and people wonder why i don't drink...

8:02 am

I do not like gin... but i bet it would be good with vodka

8:02 am

Why ruin perfectly good vodka?

8:03 am

if you made it with vodka, you'd have to call it a ne****ov instead

8:03 am

LOL judi

8:03 am

Cannot imagine drinking a

8:03 am

christmas tree

8:03 am

True, BR. That would be prickly on the throat.

8:03 am

my cats ALWAYS try to drink the water the christmas tree stands in... maybe they'd like gin.

8:04 am

more like turpentine BR

8:04 am

LOL hursh

8:04 am

Mine too, hurshy! It must be a cat thing. Tastes like the wild outdoors.

8:04 am

Stop mentioning the g word.....the plural is in the grid

8:04 am

I try to stay away from turpentine too

8:04 am

argh... I have to stop, but this is such an easy grid to get on a roll

8:04 am

i'm having trouble with the upper G. what do we have in the way of GN's, if anything?

8:05 am

There's "gorn", hurshy. But it's not accepting monsters from Star Trek today.

8:05 am

no gn

8:05 am

8:05 am

i know, i always try gorn and dorn (michael)...

8:06 am

ea bald

8:06 am

that is from the middle E

8:06 am

oh...a fish!

8:06 am

one bottom E is like ac6 (in pain)

8:07 am

no babs, not a fish, a BIRD

8:07 am

8:07 am

hi trif... welcome to babble... the tile stats are how many words begin with that letter in the grid

8:18 am

there are 101 4 letter words in this puzzle

8:18 am

*hides in PB*

8:18 am

another good place to start, trif, is the help section above the chat log bog

8:18 am

Thanks, hurshy!

8:18 am

poof!

8:18 am

OHHHH - begin with! That is amazingly helpful. I thought it was a count of how many I had used or something, and I was all twisted round....THANKS!

8:18 am

also, when you get stuck, you can get hints from Lickety's babble Clues below the grid

8:19 am

oooh, hurshy, thank you....you are a le6

8:19 am

I have read the help section, but it doesn't explain everything....or mention Lickety's list! :)

8:19 am

lickety's list isn't an official babble site. its just a really nice thing lickety did to help. :)

8:19 am

scroll down and you will find Lickety's Babble Clues

if YOU were busy this past weekend cause I did not see you

8:41 am

was here some on Saturday -- not much--was out of town during the day

8:41 am

my larger dog looks like it has a bit of mange...been looking at natural remedies on the net...trying borax, peroxide mix...anyone had natural solutions that have worked?

8:41 am

it's snowing here

8:41 am

-5C

8:41 am

brrrr!

8:42 am

yikes, no . . . but the people who fostered another of my dogs before I got her treated her "naturally" for Heartworm and it worked . . .

8:42 am

sleighbell ring . . .are ya listening . . . in the lane . . . sn** is glistening . . .

8:42 am

my dog had lots of mange as a pup...went with the dips against my better wisdom...it did handle then...now 10 years later there's a spot on his elbow

8:42 am

ne 7 -- abbr for not positive and He stuck a feather in his hat: And called it maca****; pl

8:42 am

how many words today?

8:43 am

244

8:43 am

babs...borax peroxide mixture sounds harsh... not sure about dog skin, but on human skin, that would cause more problems than good

8:43 am

244

8:43 am

thanks rabble

8:43 am

Mange does tend to be seasonal. We had to dip our dog three times this summer.

8:43 am

well...you dilute with 1% solution of peroxide and water

8:43 am

thanks, Uneaixoise

8:44 am

I don't think Borax can be considered a "natural" remedy.

8:44 am

What was the heartworm remedy?

8:44 am

for what, BR?

8:45 am

sorry, judi, don't remember . . . but when I got her they assured me she was heartworm-free and my vet agreed :-)

8:45 am

i finished yesterday's grid with no list and watching chat

8:46 am

Interesting, Une. Not that we've ever had that problem, thank goodness.

8:46 am

bye, dear babblers

8:47 am

judi, here' s my heartworm-free girl :-)

8:47 am

bye, annie!

8:47 am

remedies and peoples' results are on eathclinic.com....read many stories of people using this solution as less toxic than the vet dips and meds

8:47 am

good morning all, bye Annie

8:47 am

bye annie

8:47 am

morning, flosey :-)

8:48 am

hi flosey

8:48 am

Have to have my kitty wormed when he goes in for his physical. He's indoor/outdoor, eats birds, mice and baby rabbits and drinks from streams. He may or may not have worms, but I'm going to have him treated as a precautionary measure.

8:49 am

hi flosey

8:49 am

good idea! :-)

8:49 am

ew

8:49 am

"A definitive recipe is add 1-2 tablespoon of borax per 500 cc of 1% hydrogen peroxide solution. To make a 3% hydrogen peroxide to 1%, roughly get one part of 3% H2O2 plus two parts of water. Then apply them on the dog. Wash with this solution daily, no rinsing.

8:50 am

how much is 500 cc?

8:50 am

hey... just realized annie is in the grid

8:51 am

Hi, Haz. Have you been lurking?

9:07 am

9:07 am

Silently observing, Judi. Good afternoon/morning all.

9:08 am

Hi Haz

9:09 am

Hello flosey.

9:09 am

hi haz

9:09 am

And oodle.

9:10 am

43 days remaining in 2008

9:11 am

Time to start thinking what New Year's Resolutions not to make.

9:11 am

How peculiar. Winge isnt in the dictionary. Are the British the only people who winge??? Dont answer that anybody!

9:11 am

you have seen signs that say suasages for sale Haz?

9:12 am

I think we whinge.

9:12 am

Brits are the only ones who spell it that way, Deeha. Here in the U.S., we whine.

9:13 am

I've amalgamated one sign saying suasages and another that says sausage's.

9:13 am

Obviously I amn a person who doesnt know her aspirant from her - er - anywhere else

9:13 am

US-ians whine, UK-ers whinge. My son does both, as well as whimpering, grousing, grumping, grouching, pouting, and peeving.

9:13 am

too funny

9:13 am

This child can't be considered for Kid of GLory status if he behaves like that.

9:14 am

When he's good he's very very good...

9:14 am

Theophilus Thistle, the thistle sifter, sifted a sieve of unsifted thistles. If Theophilus the thistle sifter sifted a sieve of unsifted thistles, where is the sieve of sifted thistles Theophilus the thistle sifter sifted?

9:14 am

And when he's bad, he's pretty annoying.

9:14 am

too funny vicuna

9:14 am

9:14 am

Is he good most of the time? He may be back in the running if that's the case.

9:14 am

Thomeone threw them hither and thither.

9:17 am

9:17 am

You're on a roll!

9:18 am

9:18 am

Time for a break. BBL, hipsters.

9:18 am

See you later, Judi.

9:18 am

the world is not right.

9:19 am

The title of a new Bond movie?

9:19 am

Back. So, yes, the Son of Glory is a child of sterling genius, endowed with all virtues. Which he occasionally declines to practice.

9:19 am

an invasion by the flat earth society

9:20 am

We'll keep an eye on that boy, Vicuna, he may be destined for greatness.

9:20 am

Absolutely, Haz. If we can all survive that long.

9:21 am

Just think. You still have the teenage years to come.

9:21 am

As for the Daughter of Glory, she, too, is a genius, as well as being Good All the Time, intelligent, charming, cheerful, a complete airhead, and a Maker of Major Messes. It's part of her wondrous creativity.

9:22 am

haz I love spaniels especially the chocolate ones

9:22 am

Spaniel lovers unite!

9:22 am

:-D

9:23 am

And do you wear your rose-tinted glasses most of the time, Vi?

9:23 am

I don't know what you're talking about, Haz.

9:24 am

There's no answer to that.

9:25 am

hey all

9:25 am

Hello bf.

9:27 am

hi bf

9:29 am

good afternoon everyone

9:29 am

Hello jacq.

9:30 am

may i ask how the grid is and how many words today?

9:30 am

hey Haz

9:30 am

244 words today and a nice grid.

9:30 am

i just found a 9

9:30 am

"impressed with self"

9:31 am

ty Haz

9:31 am

dorse

9:31 am

There's another, practically the same.

9:31 am

oooops

9:31 am

2 9 letters, 6 8 letter words.

9:31 am

ty and ty for the clue to the other 9

9:32 am

You're welcome.

9:32 am

i see gangrene in the grid lol

9:32 am

no r in grid. too bad. would be 400 words.

9:33 am

There is an r.

9:33 am

would make it an interesting ordeal

9:33 am

HAZ, popped in for a min to find the second 9. Thanks SOOOOO much' On with the work til later

9:33 am

not in the right place lol

9:33 am

You're welcome, Pat - have a good day at work.

9:34 am

oops yes r on first line. sorry.

9:34 am

*whimper*

9:35 am

Spit it out, hurshy.

9:35 am

oh, well, my coworker is pregnant and i just found out that they have been saying stuff to her about possibly cutting her job, which if it is pregnancy related is of course not legal

9:36 am

and i'm anxious to hear the news about the birth center where my sister had her baby last year, because the board of trustees met this morning to discuss whether to close it

9:36 am

if they want to get rid of her they will find a reason, she needs to access her personnel file to make sure she agrees with everything in there

9:37 am

So, things are out of your control?

9:37 am

and i'm worried that at some point they will realize that i don't have enough to do either and reduce me to part time, thus destroying my income

9:38 am

yes, things are out of my control. (assumes haz is admonishing her thereby to not worry)

9:38 am

No, just trying to establish your state of mind.

9:38 am

sounds stressful, very stressful hurshy

9:38 am

it is stupid, if i were not good at what i do, maybe i could spend all day on it. efficiency is supposed to be a good thing.

9:39 am

The most frustrating sort of worry is when you can't do a lot to stop things happening.

9:39 am

but if your co-worker is expecting she will take maternity leave and you will have her workload, also she will need time to go to clinics etc, so you will take on some of her workload in varying degrees

9:40 am

i agree with Haz

9:40 am

You're a wise woman, jacq.

9:40 am

yes, that is true for the maternity leave time. but i would hate to have them do something wrong to her for the longer term and then it becomes a good thing for me. i would feel very upset about that as we have a lot in common and i like her very much.

9:41 am

All you can do is to make sure that she knows what her legal rights are. You aren't responsible for whatever decisions other people take.

9:41 am

if she takes maternity leave, they have to keep her position open for her return, they can't change it drastically without crating a possible law suit

9:41 am

*yaawwnnn*

9:42 am

*creating

9:42 am

yes, she knows about all the legal things. more than i do.

9:42 am

I hope you covered your mouth, Ata.

9:42 am

That's good. It's not as though you're trying to hoodwink her or take advantage of her position.

9:43 am

there is also a chance hurshy, that she may not want to return to work in the same capacity herself, babies do that sometimes, finding good childcre isn't always easy

9:43 am

have the ec6... anyone know what the other E is from that middle bottom row?

9:44 am

yes, i think she is not yet sure what she will want.

9:44 am

e + greek X + e*** st. vincent millay

9:44 am

ec7/40 comes from there.

9:44 am

spiny anteater kje

9:44 am

that means that for your peqace of mind, your employers will be aware of that risk, and they won't want to make permenant changes to your contracted hours till they are sure what's happening

9:44 am

ok taking a break bbl

9:44 am

TY hursh... would never have monkeyed that

9:45 am

hi ruru

9:45 am

and hursh... love that you used a peot in your clue : )

9:46 am

i know that practically, jacq, but i guess it's just unsettling to find that someone might be treated unfairly. i mean, it shows that in principle, anyone could be treated unfairly. it's like that whole, i didn't say anything and then they came for me thing

9:46 am

nods, i undestand your concerns

9:46 am

but i would say something if they don't come to their senses, which they probably will anyway.

9:47 am

brb laundry

9:49 am

ca 6/21 7 coombo?

spiny anteater!!!

9:50 am

that is a **** ** point (an excellent example)

9:50 am

ruru, add not out to the end of your holiday clothes carrier, then plural for ca7.

9:50 am

well...hello red... am I the ONLY person who does not know that anteater?

9:51 am

I had to google it kj

9:51 am

ty haz

9:51 am

You're welcome.

9:51 am

i am stuck with 31 to go

9:51 am

stuck stuck stuck

9:52 am

Temporarily unable to proceed.

9:53 am

So, Haz, I see you survived last night?

9:53 am

i think my anxiety levels have been increasing in the past couple of weeks anyway, i think that is why these things are affecting me so. i hope i am not developing an immunity to my medicine.

9:53 am

oh yes! how was it?

9:53 am

what was last night that haz had to survive?

9:54 am

I survived, indeed I did.

9:54 am

And did you thrive?

well, Ihave 136 left....but I took a nap at 9 am for some unknown reason.

9:54 am

I was doing a demo on table settings etc for Christmas. It turned out to be fun.

9:54 am

thank you haz got them

9:54 am

oooh, sounds neat

9:55 am

(the cutest puppycam in the world: http://tinyurl.com/5ujhmx)

That actually sounds fun Haz. though the people ho came who wewre they?

9:55 am

hurshy, if you're feeling anxious, don't let it eat you up. Go and see about it.

9:55 am

no sparkly frou frou?

9:55 am

Ladies at a local WI - they were very friendly so I didn't feel too intimidated.

9:56 am

As little bling as I could get away with, Ata.

thats nice then...I rather like Holiday decor. though I admit to having almost none.

9:57 am

Hurshy, if you think it might involve your medication, see your doctor!

9:58 am

Ata, have you seen this story? http://tinyurl.com/6l5zn2

9:58 am

i need breakfast - bbl

9:58 am

red, I love setting tables so it was right up my street.

9:59 am

awwwwww that's adorable. it looks so uncomfortable for the dog, but he's obviously sooo happy!

Nice. I have to admit, i am a tree decorating person. I adore making them look all sparkly and snowy...

10:00 am

I remember seeing a dog on one of those - his owner had built it himself. This one looks very professional!

10:00 am

very! big sturdy wheels

10:01 am

I think they're advertised in the Vet Record - K-carts or something.

holy cow. i am watching the today show....and they just said Ann Curry is 52. My heavens I thought she was like 34.

10:02 am

they really cake the makeup on those tv people.

10:02 am

Ata, do you know what breed the puppies are on the puppy cam

10:02 am

shiba inu

10:02 am

and they are *adorable*!

10:02 am

they sure are!

Yes, but they are showing her trekking up Mt Kilamanjero in Kenya. I dont think she has any make up on. I think she is just very pretty...

10:03 am

any time I'm feeling grumpy, I take a look at them and immediately cheer up

10:03 am

She's probably never smoked and drinks 300 litres of water a day.

10:03 am

she'd be dead then

10:03 am

yes Anne is very pretty, her trek up Kilamanjero is very ambitious

10:04 am

I'm exaggerating, for effect.

LOL. Well, I am impressed. She is "well preserved"...

10:04 am

And Kili thingy is in Tanzania.

She must wear sunscreen.

10:04 am

big effect :D

10:04 am

I know she is of oriental disent

This is true, I always think of Kili in Kenya. No matter what.

10:05 am

Mt Kenya is in Kenya :P

10:05 am

It's not far across the border, you can see it from Kenya.

Yes, I saw it when i was in Kenya, which is probably why I think of it as Kenya's.

Nono her mother was Japanese.

10:10 am

dor s

TY kklin!

10:15 am

if anyone is interested, here is a youtube video about a "young" ann curry: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v= Iy3LtJUQvik

Thanks Eva!

10:22 am

10:22 am

EN7-9 combo, similar iN 7-9 combo

10:23 am

Afternoon all Back for another hunt for words.

10:23 am

i was thinking the same thing! in 30 years, all that has changed is her hairdo...heh

Hi FM.

I wish I looked that way, but she does have a few decades on me...maybe I can stay the same.

10:24 am

Hi Ata :) Hi red, EvaN et al!

10:24 am

eva if you have further clues i would love them.

10:24 am

Good afternoon FMitch.

10:24 am

hi FM!

10:24 am

i wanna know what, if anything, she does to keep her skin so great... i guess it helps that her mother is japanese -- they age so beautifully!

10:24 am

Hello Haz!

10:24 am

EN7 = signing the back of a check

10:24 am

10:26 am

I have happily avoided it this series so far Ata

wE HAD oops a party there earlier maybe some of the breakfast is in there. all of us were talking weather and talking sn**

10:26 am

Even the celebrities don't know who each other is.

10:27 am

do they lock them in boxes, ata? i like that idea... lock them in a box and lose the key

10:27 am

can anyone clue the or6/27 - before the wild parties plz?

10:27 am

any other clues for the 8s? i have only le 8.

10:27 am

10:27 am

Good idea kje!

10:27 am

VERY good idea!

10:28 am

and Esther Rantzem and Kilroy Silk

10:28 am

or 6 starts with the same four letters as the parties

10:28 am

or6/27 - Begin like the wild party, (four letters) end with the first letters of the teenage skin condition.

10:28 am

is she in there? goodness me. how terrifying!

10:28 am

ah! Tahnks for that.

10:29 am

You're welcome, Sandie.

10:29 am

the only of those names i recognize it martina

10:29 am

Yes, and you'd think she'd have the wit to stay at home.

10:30 am

George thingy was Sulu (?) in Star Trek

10:30 am

maybe she needs the money?

10:30 am

and they arent' even getting paid that much this time round. well, because they arent *celebrities*!

10:30 am

are they C list or lower? *grin*

10:31 am

about P list I think

10:31 am

LOL

10:31 am

The se 8 is a vessel is worthy of traveling on the ocean

10:32 am

I've never heard of some of them. I haven't watched any of it, just read the names in the paper and wondered if I had been asleep for 10 years.

10:32 am

if you have, I have been too

10:32 am

Same here Haz apart from substitute web for newspaper

10:32 am

Some time soon, hopefully, reality TV makers will think of something better to do.

10:33 am

Many of the longer words are made so by adding the sing/s and ies. That was what enabled me to finish this before lunch. Fireworks.

10:33 am

Congratulations Merk.

10:33 am

any ao?

10:33 am

I mean the ing/s.

10:33 am

'reality shows and something better' will never be seen in the same sentence I'm afraid!

10:33 am

Thank you. I did have to finally use the grid. There were a few challenges to my brain ... keeps the cobwebs out.

10:34 am

No ao words.

10:34 am

Off to the PB Merk

10:34 am

I'm an optimist, FMitch.

10:34 am

woohoo merk!!!!

10:34 am

hi beautiful babblers.. happy babbling... I am back

10:34 am

Hello oodle.

10:34 am

See y'all tomorrow. tata

10:34 am

Hi oodle

10:35 am

I just dont see the point to the people running about continents acting liek idiots.

10:36 am

sothe alternate word for an afro american is not acceptable eh?

10:36 am

10:38 am

Hello TO! Nice to see you.

10:38 am

10:38 am

hi to

10:38 am

Don't whinge, Ata.

10:39 am

hi to

10:39 am

hmmph. I always spell it winge LOL. enable knows nothing :P

10:40 am

stop whinging ;)

10:40 am

Then you need to learn to spell it properly. It's whinge.

10:41 am

ok, I believe you. Just.

10:42 am

I've checked!

are you trying to spell: whine

10:42 am

*grins* ok I really believe you:P

10:42 am

No, we know how to spell whine. This is a variation, to whinge. It means the same thing.

10:43 am

don't think I should believe FM though

10:43 am

the last se 5'14?

10:43 am

*smacks Atas legs*

how is it pronounced?

10:43 am

winge!

10:44 am

se5/14 - se plus an anagram of mother's ruin or the gerund

10:44 am

To rhyme with hi5/16 - but with a very strong h sound at the beginning.

10:44 am

Oooh, FM's getting violent!

12:23 pm

12:23 pm

Go kje Go !!

12:23 pm

1

12:24 pm

I bet she was pleased to see you though :)

12:24 pm

No wonder Ata.

12:24 pm

0 - my last one was a missed plural... hmmmrph

12:24 pm

she always is, it's just someone *different* for her to see, if nothing else!

12:24 pm

Congratualtions kje!

12:24 pm

Ata, poor lass.

12:25 pm

She can't give up Ata. The answer is there.

12:25 pm

yes, it is. it'll depend on whether her body keeps going long enough for it to be found

12:25 pm

later... good luck all still working on the grid

12:26 pm

Congrats kje!

12:26 pm

take care kje, Nice job!

12:26 pm

Well done ! kje.

12:27 pm

All good wishes and prayers winging their way to Atas sister

12:27 pm

well done kje

12:28 pm

we just need to find a doctor that's interested enough in her conditions to be pro-active about treating her!

12:28 pm

I'm back to finish this sucker. *rolls up sleeves*

12:28 pm

Hi Judi

12:29 pm

wb Judi. Ata, she has you to advocate, taht's 1/2 the battle!

12:29 pm

Well said Lori

12:30 pm

I just wish I actually could help her apart from just supporting her. Though I do get to change her wound dressings if I'm really unlucky lol

12:32 pm

Wounds are gross. A lot of people are bothered by doing that stuff. Not me though. She's lucky to have you.

12:32 pm

it really is disgusting. but I've seen worse, and disgusting doesn't bother me!

12:32 pm

Muh god, finished the a. Thought I ahd entered the ai word. Apparently not....

12:32 pm

Is she confined to bed ?

12:33 pm

kind of. officially, yes. unofficially, she ignores that as much as possible

12:33 pm

Ata, expect you have done this.. put her symptoms etc in medical site to see if there any suggestions, then check what consultants there are.

12:34 pm

At least she still has fight in her, Im sure that will keep her going

12:34 pm

the problem is she has nothing that any of her doctors can diagnose apart from being an autoimmune disorder / blood disorders. So at the moment, I'm going through all the NHS websites looking for autoimmune doctors that sound like they would be prepared to look at something different

12:34 pm

Set up a blog, as well as reading them. i guarantee someone can relate to her.

12:35 pm

that's another good idea

12:35 pm

Oh, and I officially hate the letetr G.

12:36 pm

me too

12:36 pm

Ata, I thought you may have, sorry. Good idea LoriP.

12:36 pm

she's under the care of a very *very* good surgeon. but he's basically saying now that there's nothing else he can really do. so we need to find someone else!

12:36 pm

7 g's still mising. Ack

12:37 pm

Spawnlings will be home soon, they'll think I sat here all day wrestling with this grid. lololol

12:37 pm

lololol you didn't?

12:37 pm

And now its time for me to rattle pans in the kitchen and pretend that Im cooking !! ((((((((Ata)))))))) See you all tomorrow, bye

12:38 pm

Ata, I wonder if he has tried the 'net' to discuss.

12:38 pm

Bye cait.

12:38 pm

Have a good day caitlyn!

12:38 pm

***shoots Ata 'the look'*** :p

12:38 pm

LoriP. I cannot imagine why they would think that.

12:38 pm

I don't know, but he's treated her for over 10 years now, and I can't imagine he's left any route untouched

12:39 pm

of course not.

12:39 pm

so when he says he's out of ideas, it's rather worrying!!

12:43 pm

.. and my layman thoughts would not have helped. you are doing all you can.

12:43 pm

oh they do, elder! any thoughts help!

12:44 pm

elder, you never know where a good idea can lead. Anything can help.

12:44 pm

exactly!

12:44 pm

Are the w's normal? I'm missing 3

12:44 pm

One feels so useless when one hears of hears of sad situations that are happening to people here.

12:44 pm

yes, pretty normal

12:45 pm

Lorip, pretty much normal.

12:45 pm

me too, elder. all we can do is be here to listen!

12:45 pm

I've had inspiration come in the stranegst ways, from totally ordinary situations.

12:45 pm

((((Atalante and sister)))) *still lurking*

12:45 pm

***I have PMS, don't make me feel sappy*** :p

12:47 pm

the hardest thing I always find is being cross with her - she's always been a brat, but the illness is making her a complete nightmare some days, and you want to just scream at her, then you can't cos it';ll make her feel worse, but then you have the right to yell ... and it goes round in circles!

12:47 pm

I have been inundated with people wanting to know the answers to the dreadful case of Baby P. I like others am so horrified. ( not in my area ).

bak, got a super phone call, chalk up one more happy customer

12:48 pm

Ata, it must be so hard..

12:49 pm

all of us looking after her phone each other up when she's in the bath / asleep etc and whine and screech LOL

12:49 pm

It's a balncing act Ata, we're all human.

12:49 pm

Doh!!!! hot dogs and a hair piece. ***sigh***

12:50 pm

Spawnlings, brb

12:50 pm

Ata, good that you and others can let off steam , its healthy.

12:50 pm

12:53 pm

peri, the habit was not a clue.

12:53 pm

oh, ok, LOL

12:53 pm

I actually bought some nitrate free turkey hot dogs from the health food store in town. They were actually (GASP!) quite delicious. They tasted like real hot dogs.

12:54 pm

I am stuck with 121 left

come to michigan for decent hot dogs. we have the highest standards for hot dogs in the US, or so i;ve been told

12:54 pm

how many more G's can there be in this language..

googles of them! lol

12:54 pm

Delayed congratulations Judi!

12:55 pm

I am missing lots of G words

12:55 pm

Can I ask what the numbers next to the letters in the tile stats mean? for example: a 0/6 Does the "0" mean no words start with a? Then what is the 6 for? It doesn't explain it in the help section....

12:55 pm

I only have 6 ga's, are there more?

12:55 pm

Ty. I'm off to do boring work things now. Hubby and I are going to attend a Civic Association meeting for the neighborhood tonight. Be interesting to see who shows up.

12:56 pm

I have 6 ga words, but I am still missing many g words

12:56 pm

Enjoy the erst of 'yer day Judi

Hi lynxxx

well, i have exactly 100 to go, taking a break. BBL

1:21 pm

G'd afternoon Lynx, have a good sleep?

1:21 pm

bye bye Gwen

And Ata, I side with eevryone else that the [unmentionable] woman was [unmentionably] rude, and although I know how difficult this is, my advice is to feel superior to her and let it go.

1:21 pm

Hi Lynxxx

1:21 pm

Later BDG

1:22 pm

oh I do. it's just so rude! rudeness annoys me

1:22 pm

1:23 pm

stoop

1:23 pm

I'd be tempted to say "well, at least I am not unsufferably rude..."

1:23 pm

or even insufferably

It does me too. Like this guy today. There I was going to Walter's school with the cargo trike and he biked up to RIGHT behind me and started rining his bell like crazy, so I moved over to the side I was closer to to let him by and that was the side he had decided arbitrarily to pass on, and the HE yelled at ME. Talk about rude. Yes, annoying.

1:23 pm

keyboard shifted

stupe works too

Diabolical grid today ..

3:14 pm

3:15 pm

ahh wish I had known that before I started!!

3:15 pm

too late!

i need 42..and i have grown accustomed to not playing at night. i don't think i'll finish if i can't do it early

i am listening to my repalcement being briefed... so i am giving myself a bit of babble time

3:18 pm

replacement?

yes. my current job is being upgraded and i don't qualify.

3:19 pm

hello all.

3:19 pm

oh nice! gah!

3:19 pm

oh oh TO... you're not being downsized???

no. just put out of all hope of promotion.

3:19 pm

oh! oh! Lickety is BACK!!!!

3:19 pm

seriously? have they given you another job?

i should be thankful -many would like to have my job

3:20 pm

that's still stinky, TO! *offers big cup of hot chocolate*

well stid it would seem i have reached my level of incompetence. nothing to be done, we can't all be president!

3:21 pm

That blows ..

3:21 pm

rofl.... no TO, I suppose not, but you woulda been a exsellant wun!

no. beleive me there are worse things. it's just my pride that's hurt.

*sniffles and puts away self pity* let's BABBLES!!!!

i have resurrected my "turkey drive" icon for the season

3:23 pm

Do you have a job still TO?

yes.

if i leave suddenly it's because the meeting broke up.

3:25 pm

Well that is something but don't you be doing the new persons job for them, if you not qualified for it then she/he can do it all by themselves

that's not how it works, katie. life is not that kind. reality is you do what you are told.

3:26 pm

Yep but make sure you don't do more than your level!

and there are plenty to step in to do what you refuse. it is no victory

3:26 pm

don't do more than you are paid to do!

3:26 pm

I am up to 55... had to leave the lecture hall as the lecture was beginning... the lecturer had the sound on the video turned all the way up... and didn't turn it down after I hollered. So now I have a migraine. I am really really upset about this. I think this was the lecture oh bacteriophages that I was waiting for ALL QUARTER LONG *very grumpy mama look* I now return you to your regularly scheduled chat log...

3:28 pm

3:34 pm

outrageous!

3:34 pm

***dble back flip with a 1 1/2 twist*** HI Stiddy!!!

3:35 pm

That's why she has no support here for trying to get out of it!

3:35 pm

but, I think katie would be good at it too... *hides in corner*

3:35 pm

we all told her to stop whining and face up to her responsibilities!

3:35 pm

what did FM do/ not do now?

3:36 pm

hello oodles!!!

3:49 pm

hey all

3:49 pm

oh, that is too bad.

3:49 pm

no... i meant guillemets... a punctuation mark

3:49 pm

hey bf!

3:49 pm

hi beautiful babblers happy babbling

3:49 pm

oh, no, oodles!!

3:49 pm

keep trying oodles

3:49 pm

how are we all

3:49 pm

that is the third time this has happened

3:49 pm

? really.. you are so smart..never heard of that before...

3:50 pm

Guillemets (pronounced /ˈɡɪləmɛt/, or /ɡiːəˈmeɪ/ after French [ɡijmɛ]), also called angle quotes, are line segments, pointed as if arrows (« or »), sometimes forming a complementary set of punctuation marks used as a form of quotation mark.

3:50 pm

cell phone, oodles?

3:50 pm

thanks stic!!! Sorry about your migraine though....

3:50 pm

(redo the resume) they have to be perfect nowadays

3:50 pm

ohhh. guillem*o*ts are the birdies

3:50 pm

what about a cell phone?

3:51 pm

maybe if you had a cell phone, you wouldn't be "out" when prospective employers call...

3:51 pm

I know that people around here do that a lot

3:51 pm

oh that's true

3:51 pm

but I hate them

3:51 pm

they get a pre-paid phone that they can give the number out JUST to the employers

3:51 pm

did you finish kje?

3:51 pm

yes ruru

3:52 pm

long after you

3:52 pm

I don't "like" cell phones, but living where we do with the kids going to school in town, they do come in handy

3:52 pm

bad habit you have lately of finishing first : )

3:52 pm

there. past halfway. Time for a nap... *grump* back later perhaps if I can.

3:52 pm

I started last night and you didn't...

good night katie!

4:17 pm

night

4:17 pm

never seems to work for me Tri.... i watch movies to the treadmill (and hate the treadmill). maybe i should try ti figure out how to set up a book, but I tend to think of reading as relaxiing

4:17 pm

gnite Katie

73 left here...

4:17 pm

night katie

4:17 pm

good night katie

4:17 pm

but thanks for the encouragement red. i know you're right, I do need it

the treadmill is relaxing Dorens. At least I feel wierd unless I run.

4:18 pm

oh crap

4:18 pm

i really don't like it red... but i know i need some aerobic exercise... the pilates and yoga i do several times a week don't help much with weight control

4:19 pm

just realized one of my earrings is gone

4:19 pm

and i only exercise cause i know i need to, not cause i like to

What about walking outside?

4:19 pm

oh kj, i hate when that happens it.. I only lose the ones i really like

i saw one in the bottom of the pool today it was a little gold hoop, kje yours?

hi all, this is my first time playing...does anyone know what an average high score is?

4:20 pm

when weather is nice i love to walk in the woods near my house, or around the lake... but i don't love the cold and i certainly don't go out there in the dark.. and for the next few months that means little opportunity... i don't get home much before dark during the week

stuck, many people finish the grid each day.

4:20 pm

exactly direns... it is a tanzanite briolette on a wire.... damn damn damn... bbl, must go retrace

I would agree outsidein nasty weather is not fun....

4:21 pm

have done that so many times.... good luck kje

what do you mean finish? make 244 words using the letters in the "tile stats"?

yes, stuck. using the letters in the grid.

Bye kje, happy hunting, and I hope you find it.

thank god i am not in it but hubby isl. very windy today too

4:36 pm

Trif clue please lol

4:37 pm

AD 6 is a VERY handsome man...almost a GOD...in fact a GREEK god...really should be a proper name, except that people use it as an adj now.....

4:38 pm

not a plural?

4:39 pm

not a plural, but it looks like one

4:39 pm

but not an actual plural, no....

4:40 pm

you can do it MLF!

4:40 pm

haha right

4:41 pm

aloy - this grid adds gerunds to words we would change ie to Y and then gerund or drop the e and gerund.... several times, just so you know

4:41 pm

did you get it?

it would have been a crazy grid if Y had been in the mix.

4:41 pm

ty, kje.. found out a bit late, but I'll try to remember.. flying through now

4:41 pm

no but i got the EN 9 lol

4:42 pm

like the AD 5 or 6/21, wat is that?

4:48 pm

cj i got the EN 9 a few minutes ago couldnt find it last night to save my live lol

When it's a single letter, or the first of a pair, it's how many letters are in the word

4:49 pm

Hi samantha

6:51 pm

help with ec7

6:52 pm

my head still hurts, I am having trouble thinking despite a two-hour nap. So... not as good as I had hoped.

6:52 pm

the ec 7 is a relative of the platypus

6:52 pm

not sure babble will help :( unless we get your mind off of it

6:52 pm

it's like an egg-laying hedgehod

6:52 pm

um, hedgehog, I meant

6:53 pm

babble is no worse than any other thing I might do. I have already told Tom he is in charge of supper -- there are some leftovers from yesterday, but I don't have the energy.

6:54 pm

did that help, Luv? or do you need more?

6:54 pm

stid, i know a hynotherapist who got into the field because of her own migraines..she can turn the pain from a 10 down to a 1 now

Lots of rest stiddy. that last one I had I felt like my head ws actually burning...it was so bizarre, I almost stopped drinking coffee.

Hi Pam!!!

7:01 pm

im at 630

7:01 pm

this one was caused by persistent loud sound... seeing as how I survived a rock concert a couple weeks ago (okay, it was low-level rock, the transiberian orchestra) with the same ear plugs, I can only surmise the noise level was way more than reasonable even for deaf people

7:01 pm

hello dear pam!

7:02 pm

yo how was that concert? im debating it.., bought tix to metallica

7:02 pm

hi, red and stid!!!!

7:02 pm

we are seeing the Australian Pink Floyd on Monday

7:02 pm

weird, red, coffee HELPS my head most of the time....

7:02 pm

I am watching House and playing babble

7:02 pm

COOOOOL, dr!

7:02 pm

I really enjoyed the concert, steve0, I had some trouble with the bright lights, but wore sunglasses and covered my face for the worst bits. Tom and the boys enjoyed it though

7:02 pm

sounds nice, peri!

7:03 pm

we saw them before and really like them... dark side of the moon cover

7:03 pm

I keep trying "ginseng" -- it keeps not working

caffiene at time of Headache usually helps, btu apparently caffiene all month long combined with montly hormornes triggers my Headaches.

7:04 pm

my phantom is origin

7:05 pm

ah... yes, I have heard that can happen, red. I had taken sudafed for painful congestion this morning, so couldn't take the exedrin with caffeine that I had with me (and the prescription migraine stuff wasn't with me)

7:05 pm

Oh, that stinks, red! Mine are sinus... and barometric...

7:05 pm

IMy hormonal headaches are soething else again....

7:06 pm

did u like TSO?

7:06 pm

mine are sinus and need to get to eye dr.

but luckily, I dont get them very often anymore. that one last Month...well I am still in awe of it. It as truely the orst Headache of my life.

7:06 pm

wow, red!

but its over!

7:07 pm

thank goodness

7:08 pm

My hormonal headaches used to be controlled with an estrogen patch... but I don't want to wear them... so, iit's mind over matter, LOL

7:08 pm

I had to switch from the patch to pills, worked alot better for me

Actually I discovered when I was 21 that my daily migraines were caused by the Pill, so no added hormones for me since then and the Headaches have become very diminshed.

7:09 pm

yay found ge

7:09 pm

felling older than my 45 yrs...have had so many things wrong and too many surgeries

7:10 pm

me too red...took me years to make the connection

7:10 pm

cases

7:10 pm

oops wrong one again sorry

7:10 pm

my fave for supporting hormone balance is Plus...been using for 14 years.

7:10 pm

mine improved with pill, but that's because I have PCOS and my hormones were/are whacked.

7:10 pm

I have been also for 12 yrs but weaning myself off

7:11 pm

I don't know what that is Pam

7:12 pm

PolyCysticOvarianSyndrome

7:12 pm

What is Plus?

7:13 pm

oh ok I had endometriosis so menapause came early...

Oh krista, i wasnt smart, a Nurse Practioner figured it out, and only because I mentioned it in passing.

8:18 pm

Gabby...to get a list of the first 2 letters of all words in the grid: Open --Lickety's List-- (found at the bottom of this page) in another window. Next, copy the words you've found (under Babble - My Word List) and paste them in the large box at the bottom of the Lickety's List (Bulk Add). Press Add and your found words will be placed in their appropriate places on the list. Then you simply try and find the words that are still missing. Update your Lickety's List by repeating the copy / paste / Bulk Add.

giving myself a 5 minute break after dinner before diving in to find the last 12

8:53 pm

well, apparently i missed the zz top hit there

8:53 pm

8:54 pm

I don't listen to that one anymore, I am much to refined in my old age

8:54 pm

they are ok... but do not remember a tubesteak song

8:54 pm

8:54 pm

*cough cough cough* excuse me... got a little choked over that refined statement

10:03 pm

I am trying to get the biggest words I can....I just got an 8, which was pretty cool.

10:04 pm

nice work!

10:05 pm

I think I work best of the tile stats, and not too much off the word Lists. I tend to get stuck with the list, trying to find each and every combo listed....gets really stressful!

10:05 pm

there are 2 9-poiners!

10:05 pm

thinking both are ge 5,14 ...one in 3 column and 4th column

10:05 pm

Do you use Lickety?

10:05 pm

10:05 pm

it's only my third crack at one of these....

10:06 pm

well, keep it up, Trif...

10:06 pm

KJE!!!

10:07 pm

10:07 pm

trif...do you have the greek god?

10:07 pm

think it's one I missing

10:07 pm

Yes, kje!!! * big grin *

10:07 pm

you?

10:07 pm

indeed : )

10:07 pm

yop. Actually, that was cool - I got to give someone else a hint for it. That felt really good!

10:07 pm

congrats to both of you

10:07 pm

it was probably me!!! LOL

10:08 pm

thx cj

10:08 pm

trif...do you have an4/4 ... like licorice?

10:09 pm

yup. I just checked the lickety list and it looks like I am missing one of the AN 4/4s

10:09 pm

(oh, and Trif...not to suggest that you're not using lickety right...but do you load it with your words?)

10:10 pm

the 2 ANs are virtually the same, just change the 2nd vowel

10:10 pm

at the risk of being labeled a lurker--I have to say I love the Babble Expert! Everything is right in front of you--no going back & forth or putting in words twice.

10:10 pm

Load it? Do you mean enter the words I get in it? No, I don't do that...should I?

10:10 pm

Same here, Teena...

10:10 pm

good night beautiful b abblers

10:10 pm

Will make it much easier!

10:10 pm

Whew! Thank you!!!! Got it!

10:10 pm

here, let me give you the synopsis!

10:10 pm

Open --Lickety's List-- (found at the bottom of this page) in another window. Next, copy the words you've found (under Babble - My Word List) and paste them in the large box at the bottom of the Lickety's List (Bulk Add). Press Add and your found words will be placed in their appropriate places on the list. Then you simply try and find the words that are still missing. Update your Lickety's List by repeating the copy / paste / Bulk Add.

10:10 pm

hello again all

10:11 pm

night oodle

hi stidderooni

10:11 pm

10:11 pm

bye oodle

10:11 pm

night oodles-o-fun!!!

10:11 pm

hey tea! how's the kiddos?

they are great, thanks for asking

10:11 pm

I got down to 46 earlier, took a little break, now ready to try again.

10:11 pm

GA 6 please?

10:12 pm

first 3 letters of the word following + gerund

10:12 pm

thanks pini.

10:12 pm

icky gee-eye words today...

10:12 pm

wow....thats' a honking load of typing.....I suppose I could try it. Really, though, I do like to try to find as many as I can independently, and not just fill in the list. I will probably get tired of the work though. Keep in mind, I am SUCH a noob that it is all still novel! I wicked appreciate the hints about Lickety's list though!

10:13 pm

stid - there are lots of weird gerunds... where usually you might change an ie to ay or drop the e prior to adding the gerund... and then there are several weird gerund plurals... fyi

10:13 pm

load of typing? how so? the bulk add does it for you and puts the words in their proper place...you simply fill in what's missing...

10:13 pm

yes, thanks kje :-D

10:13 pm

...I like to find what I can first, then resort to lickety when I'm stuck or ask for clues as needed ;)

10:13 pm

oh, yes, you are right about that....

10:14 pm

trif - highlight and copy the word list here... then go to bulk add on lickety's and paste, then hit bulk add button at the bottom

10:14 pm

Pink - Prolonged use of Black Kohosh is not advisable. Not to be used at all by those with any kind of breast cancer, since it is now believed that it accelerates the migration of the cancer from the breast to the lung.

10:28 pm

gi6/30, almost certainly

10:29 pm

nope, that didn't work.

10:29 pm

there are 2 that are the computer prefix for a billion

10:29 pm

gi6.30 is the Scottish word for 'giving'.

10:29 pm

yes...its also a medeival dance

10:29 pm

gillion, tyger?

10:29 pm

this grid is *full* of Scotch dialect

10:29 pm

LOL, stiddie

10:30 pm

Most grids are, tyger.

10:30 pm

how much memory does your computer have, stid? (theoretical question)

10:30 pm

well, probably about half, jac - at least of those that are well-endowed with vowels

10:30 pm

10:30 pm

10:31 pm

ag6: getting older

10:31 pm

10:31 pm

Stid - I'm always losing photos on the computer and in the house.

10:31 pm

10:33 pm

10:33 pm

there is no se4/5 right after the River Se5

10:33 pm

after the plural there is...

10:33 pm

oh, I thought you meant a combo

10:34 pm

eek! and jac clued it!

10:34 pm

But there is after the plural, which is what Stid said, Tyger.

10:34 pm

ok little confused about the list...some words spelled out and not others?

10:34 pm

how about the SE 6/7 combo?

10:34 pm

yes, a single word. I misunderstood what she wanted

10:34 pm

se + not positive (lop off end)

10:34 pm

se4/4 before + 1st 2 letters of grandma's nickname

10:34 pm

Milkwort, stid.

10:38 pm

we6/30 = dauchsund or hot dog (then pl)

10:38 pm

ah! thanks so much... I feel like wi6 right now

10:38 pm

10:38 pm

LOL

10:38 pm

yes, we have incendiaries

10:38 pm

thanks pini!

10:38 pm

10:39 pm

pini, how do you do grids? you don't seem to have the spelling ge4 at all

10:39 pm

yay, stid

10:39 pm

bye pini

10:39 pm

it can also be used in the U.S. to specify a weak person or a coward, jac

10:39 pm

Well done on getting bombed, stid.

10:39 pm

well, I need to go finish something later, all

10:40 pm

Can it , stid? I've been learning a new phrase from watching US Wife Swap in recent days... 'step up and be a father!'

10:40 pm

see ya later tyger

10:40 pm

(saw your comment, tyger...and to answer...at this point, I have NO idea!!!!)

10:41 pm

* poof *

10:41 pm

Step up, I assume is the USA equivalent of the UK phrase, 'pull your socks up!'

10:41 pm

just looked up the milkweed. I know I haven't seen it, but apparently it is used in many places from a native North American plant also

10:41 pm

yes, pretty much -- it means take charge and stop whining

10:42 pm

okay, Tom and I are going to play the wii game together. back tomorrow at some point if I can.

10:42 pm

*hugs everyone* thanks for the help and the chat!

10:42 pm

*poof*

10:42 pm

night stid

10:43 pm

tyger - not sure what you were saying to pink, but if it was about her spelling, let me tellyou that my dyslexic partner often finds the words this oh so perfect Miss Grammar Schooled lady doesn't find.

10:44 pm

he wii rock band game looks fun. (We don't have wii yet.)

10:45 pm

Wonder if I will be better at wii tennis than I am in real life? I'm certainly better at ten-pin bowling on facebook than I am in real life!

10:46 pm

OMG. I am never going to sleep again, now that I have found this game, am I????

10:46 pm

No Trif, probably not.

10:47 pm

I've gotten to that point also Tri...:)

10:48 pm

does anyone have a hint for the first hi 6/27?

10:48 pm

Hi cjmomma - jst read your profile. You won't be happily married for much longer if you keep on staying out of bed to play this game.

10:48 pm

nice game...

10:49 pm

hi + vowel and then the ing

10:49 pm

hi6.27 is the plural of the things that keep your door hanging in the frame.

10:49 pm

never mind - figured it out alphabetically

10:50 pm

OOps, 1st hi6 is the greeting thing.

10:50 pm

Jacula, hubby has learned to accept my phases I go through...he watches tv, and I play on computer. But he has mentioned that I don't watch "our" shows anymore...

10:51 pm

he's used to me staying up past him, so thats no biggie

10:51 pm

cj - the 'our' shows, what are they? For me and my Other Half it's things like 'Bones' and other murder mysteries.

10:52 pm

it is why I don't finish all the grids though, we like house and anything funny really

10:52 pm

Mine is also used to me staying up later,since he has to be in work for about 5am and so goes to bed about 10pm.

10:53 pm

yup mine just changed to later hours though which is why he has complained lately

10:53 pm

LOL, MEN!

10:53 pm

careful what you pray for....mine just did a runner, and I would LOVE to have him to complain about again....:(

10:53 pm

I'm glad I have a good and patient one that accepts me for who and what I am...

10:54 pm

tjat

10:54 pm

cj you are really, really lucky!

10:54 pm

Once I get back into m 'proper job' (which is writing) he'll have to be even more tolerant of the hours I might keep.

10:54 pm

oops, that I do know

10:54 pm

what do you write?

10:55 pm

Trif - that's a hard thng to go through. I know how you feel, having been there with 2 young children.

10:55 pm

All sorts, cjmomma.

10:55 pm

All for now though is my blog.

10:55 pm

jac - did yours come back? if that's not too personal....

10:56 pm

I've always loved to write and been thinking about taking a few courses to refresh me to get into it again..

10:57 pm

I'll check out the blog in a bit, gonna sit with hubby for 10 and try to finish grid...bb in 10

10:57 pm

:)

10:58 pm

Trif - That would be a long and complicated story to tell, but no, we are not together now but we do still see each other 3 times a week as parents and have never waivered from our role as a parenting team. He's remarried and I'm with a 'new' partner also.

10:59 pm

okay, didn't mean to pry....I just need to know that it works out sometimes, I think....I want my life back SO BADLY

11:00 pm

clue for ac 6?

11:00 pm

really tired muscles

11:00 pm

cjm - my blog's set to private so you won't be able to check it out. It's invitation only, due to some hangers on of the stupid variety from my daughter's facebook circle of 'not really friends' causing trouble for her in real life when they objected to me talking about her partner's newly dead best friend in my blog.
