Hy Tyger - seems fast
llol lynxx i just call when i get them
jilli, just checked your profile. don't agree with you on aged cheddar (I mostly prefer the white cheeses, but love aged Colby), but most certainly do about blue cheeses. Ugh!
hey, lynx

good evening everyone. nice to see lickety back for this biggie.
in 9
well, if you say so, lynx. maybe I'll give it a shot
X4 justa
oh, neve mind. sorry dart

bye lynxxx, mlf
dadgum it, I wish Lickety weren't busy otherwise. it would be nice to have the list up already
if I'm gonna do this $%^&*()_ thing, I want the list
lol... we are all learning to appreciate lickety even more
maybe he's having connection trouble again :(
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
that could be, jilli. with new service, you never know what to expect
could be that, too, volley, but I'd rather have it for today than yesterday :P
Hi everyone
LOL

Hey, hugs, you have to tell me your secrets to getting all those high scores on QP!!!

hi hugs -- sorry, missed your grand entrance
in9
Hi Dee and jai.... there's no real secrets, just a love of word games
en9 both are the same except for first vowel
wow, jai!
en9 you do with a check
I can't find the in 9 it is eluding me
ruru see my clues...
now I have them thank you jai..my hero
thanks for the 9's
thank you jai!
YW!
still 3 BTs :(
what do you do with a check? I thought I tried the obvious answers, but no success :-(
se8- what you would call a boat on the high s**s
yay, got ec7
nf jai
you turn the check over and sign your name- that is callled what?
geez! Thanks!
ca----- lol
yeah i already had that one! The 9s were eluding me!
and ty again, jai, for the se8!
ne8 is a word I never heard of.....starts with African word for black
ne7 is singular of ne8
le8 is a moocher who is le**** off you
what are the 9's
in+en9
but what is en9>
what you do to a check, dale (scroll back a bit -- recently clued)
that ne7 is weird. I just looked it up. It's a cocktail
You are kidding!
hi all...
smiles...the 9s are IN and EN
yeah, I got that one, but in plus it doesn't work
nope, jai. look it up :) you'll see
that is what I thought has campari in it
hey, pini
or Pimms cup... can't remember
well, it's been long enough now since my Nexium that I can have the snack and pills. and then, if I've got any sense, bed.
dale, you just change 1st vowel
got the en9, ty
what does nexium do tyger?
It says gin, sweet vermouth and bitters
here's the def: a cocktail made from sweet vermouth, gin, and bitters.

mamab must be working her a$$ off just to keep busy!
ty Tonjae and others ....finally got it...I guess Spanish as a second language comes in handy for us Americans.

dart, I can't even see that far!
I'm missing 2 8s, dee
dee, I'm still missing an 8... not sure about everyone else
well, we have a short period of time at winter, but the family is going to learn to 'rug up' in this house
I have a lot of 7's that should be able to be 8's
master and kids rooms at opposite ends?
I think I'm missing an le8, only have 2 of them
morning all
yes dart.... opposite ends of the house, and on a completely different level too... this house has 3 levels. I can't hear anyone from one level to the next

*hugs Kiwi*
Hi sprite!!!
hey jilli, missed seeing you lately!
oh I found the se 8 thanks dart
stuck at 200
finished last night quite early, sprite, and packed it in
hey im in the grid as a phantom today: insane lol
taxing is putting it very nicely!! LOL yes, am loving it here! we have so much room... 5 bedrooms and a separate flat on the bottom level. Don't know what to do with all these rooms!
I now have le8 x 3 -- can't find the 4th :(
ahh, got the se8
jilli - do you have the plural to the le7?
lol mrP, room is lovely. You can have guests over and not be bothered by them too much ;)
yay kiwi! is your name angie?
don't have either of the 9's
or you could rent it out to help with the money
yes sprite, we have opportunity to have students stay here... give them a bed and tv in the flat. rent it out.
no im having a mortia adams rennaesance (sp) period lol
josh, what you do with a check -- en9, in9 is the same except for 1st letter
ty jilli
great, mrp!
ty jilli
yes kiwi! exactly what we were thinking!
yw :)
ive had so many compliments about it this week (except for mother lol)
forget about it kiwi..have fun... do what you want
you look radiant, Kiwi
oh believe you me ruru i am lol
lol spritey you missed the news earlier
and happy..
i got a marriage proposal on sunday nite lol
wow kiwi...missed that
how about the house, Kiwi? Is it officially yours now?
kiwi.... run!!
wonderful Kiwi, from which one? Don't say yes, of course, until you are done enjoying your freedom :)
what is the news, Kiwi?
no the house still isnt mine grrrrrr (unprintable words insert here lol)
darn what went wrong?
or maybe wait a week for the second date first lol
and even tho this guy is rich (he owns two farms) and is 6 years younger than me ive only known him thru online for the last month
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
well he obviously knows when he has found a real catch. So let him wait. :)
but way to early to be even thinking of anything like that lol
wow..
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
but a very nice feeling he wants to and adores you so much, hun. About time you got some appreciation.
agreed
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
I can think of many extraordinary circumstances
this anal guy is all about control, isn't he :(
lol mrP
well his lawyer got told that if the settlement isnt to my satisfaction by this friday then hi ho hi ho its off to court we go
very good, Kiwi. Your lawyer is a good one now, isn't she.
the first guy actually knows who tony hadley is (from spandau ballet and went to the concert lol) we have a date friday night - the second guy ive been seeing for lunch dates the last few days and have a sat nite date with him lol
she is a he spritey lol
ow sorry, thought you had a lady lawyer. And go Kiwi go, enjoy the dating!
mind you there have been way to many late nites onlne chatting but im so enjoying it lol
enjoying it will give you more energy than early to bed, hun
id forgotten what it was like living on 4-5 hours sleep just about every night lol
next step, kiwi - saying something in this chatroom without ending it with lol :)
phhhhhhhhhhhhht josh
there i can do it
hey she did it :)
props are in order
silly guys, always trying to make you do things their way :P You lol away as much as you like, Kiwi!
nice to know you men all still like picking on me

I don't want presents this year. I want the bills to be gone
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
okay anyone who signs up in 2009 cannot use the chat
How about a stern beating for those that misbehave?
who would give out those beatings?
I would prefer a special school Babble site then, and keep those kids away from here please.
with special words that you use such as innit and whateva
that they use*
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
you just want rid of me. i can take a hint loredana
i dont know
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
no hints education is the responsibility of parents and teachers
hi ursh
I didn't enjoy the troll invasions. I'd welcome nice kids, no problem. But they usually get overshadowed by the troll-like ones.
hi ursh
i dont think i have ever encountered a troll here but im not here that much i suppose
hmmm connection probs here
had them earlier here, too dart
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.
feels likes it's 2 am all the time now grrrr
a single troll is easy to handle, but a horde is difficult.
Have managed to get to 100 left and nbt. Sorry for using filthy language but need to get some h/work done. bbl
i vaguely remember an aussie school being a problem?
lol ursh, and good luck
ursh lovely to see you have fun
yup bfsog
HI Ursh

Ack, yes bf.
Good morning/evening all.
good morning Haz and Spangle
If Spangle weren't Arranging The Paws, I'm sure she'd wave one.
G'd morning Haz
Morning Haz Serious business going on at your end then :)
Very Serious. And there's Cat Patrol later.
How went the WI?
hiya haz
It went fine, thanks. A nice, friendly group of ladies.
Hello jakes-mum.
Good, glad it went well
It was fun - lots of sampling afterwards and they came up to try all the napkin folds etc.
what starter suggestions did you do?
Fireworks for me
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.
LoriP you found that elusive C yet?
Congratulations lore!
Congratulations loredana!
thanks Babblers
congrats lore!
Nope. There are only 26 c's. :)
All that studying it must of sharpened up my brain
This grid looks inviting.
mmm like the sound of those esp the melon and sorbet
So far it's fun, but they're always fun at the beginning.
not too bad so far but am still on the first run through
It's always nice when you can see words straight away, it kind of gives you hope.
Cs 4 x10 , 5 x 8 , 6 x 5 ,7 x 4 for loriP
I hope it isn't an omen. French and English words for cold, white stuff in the grid.
It's a 6. Perfect. Thanks muchly lore. :)
have fun everyone very nice relaxing grid ta ra
Have a great eve lore. Sleep tight.
and the last line of 'Frere Jacques' too can you believe!
Toodle-pip, lore.
Night lore :)
Spooky!
haha, t'was a plural. No comment. Thank again lore
Goodness, fancy you missing a plural, Lori.
Thusly, I finally greyed the bottom row. Now I can set th screen properly. :/
so unusual!
Such a rare event, isn't it Haz.
Extremely rare.
Perhaps I'll jot it on the calendar.
does the babble board really take up nearly your entire screen, lori?
No, the ten year diary might be best.
It's such an old, small monitor josh.
reminds me of the prehistoric computers i used to use
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
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 :)
I'm an oil of Olay kinda' gal. :)
You get used to old monitors when 'yer old. :)
You and me both, Lori.
they're not old monitors, just experienced
It amuses me greatly to see all the adverts with fancy imaginative ingredients.
since when was 42 classified as bring old, huh?
lol josh
'elastin' is my personal fave.
42 isn't old, it's the answer to the fundamental question of the universe
it is indeed :)
42 is old-ish
And why do they use models with not a wrinkle in sight?
Why am I asking stupid questions?
lol
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
But do your children not help to rejuvenate you? It's what happens to all the celebrities.
The fact that their face is pulled as tight as a drum is neither here nor there.
so many of the words I want today need a t, sigh.
Yea josh! Spwanlings rejuvenate????? they're predators.
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
take a letter out of mr Quale for a sweet treat
And I don't think ingeish is going to be much use either.
It's why I gave Mr Quayle a double consonant helping.
would that be like sort of demanding a list?
Something along those lines. She'll be happy today.
I'm sure there;s a collective sigh of relief at Lickety's triumphant return.
lol just tried go5/16 and it worked
I would think so.
fireworks, but now i cant babble anymore :\
Congratulations bf.
congrats bf
Congratulations, bf. Is this a curse that has been visited upon you by a passing pedlar?
indeed he granted me 3 wishes but i didnt read the small print
You must always read the small print.
Small print gets you every time. This involves your immortal soul I bet.
well i know that now! one of my wishes should have been tp up the small print font
This is the sort of stuff they should be teaching in schools.
What's the use of knowing about triangles and things when you're left not knowing about reading small print?
weeee found a 9
i should visit a school in thei lucn hhour and pass on some valuable life lessons!
Especially when ones soul is at stake.
change one letter for the other 9, FM
Yea for FM!
i mean, that wasn't a hint/clue, forget i said anything
They'll not let you in, bf, until you've had a full police criminal record check.
lol josh
ah theres nothing on there!
What sort of youth did you have?
No indiscretions at all?
plenty, but i was a fast runner
Or maybe the surveillance cameras were switched off at the time.
yes... switched off... thats what it was!
Another g and we could have leggings back again. As in bf was noted for his youthful leggings.
have you been speaking to my parents, hah
I have my sources.
i ordered 2 dvds on sundayi hope they have arrived tonight
ok, got to 200 sans list finally, now off i go to zoom to the finish line
thanks to lickety, as always
wtg josh
For once we'll be able to use aerie as a clue.
coffee time brb
GM brrrrrrrrrr,it is cold and white out side :(--:)
Oh dear!
G'd morning hodag. ***hands over a steaming hot chocolate***
we got 5 in. of that stuff over night. I new it was coming but I wasn't ready for it!
Hey Lori.I'am drinking mine :)
So, not what you wanted to see when you opened the curtains?
Did you hear about the two TV antennas that got married? The wedding was terrible but the reception was terrific.... (im sorry)
:) @ bf
Keep up the research, bf. I'm sure you'll find a good joke eventually....
NO but with no choice I will get use to it:)
Morning chickie :) bf
Q: Why are dogs such bad dancers? A: They have two left feet.
Ha ha Haz!
hiya FM how goes it :)
haz im hurt by your statement!
You don't work in a Christmas cracker factory, bf?
Can't complain chickie ;)
ha ha ha ha :)
no but i should do shouldnt i!
when all of you sit down for christmas and pull those crackers i hope you think of me
that it good FM:)
I know you'll take my critique as constructive criticism. Have you thought of Britain's got talent?
if you have throught about it ... stop right now
i did but they never come to my nearest city ha. nah never tv isnt for me
Think of all the groupies. You wouldn't want that, would you?
no way.
You'll become a le6/27 some other way.
I like your icon FM is that where you live?
in my eyes i already am
It's actually very near to where Atalante lives, I'm about 2 hours away from her. She took the pic
I see,what is the red is it soil or wheat?
They are poppies growing wild, a beautiful sight.
I used the pic for Remembrance Day
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>>>:)
OKay, time I was getting ready to go out. I'll be back later so be good in the meantime. Bye!
Bye Haz, see you later.
lol Haz :)
time to try this grid it dosen't look too bad
It fun, load of normal words (so far)
clue,getting older
Im starting to go crosseyed but still haven't finished first run through - think I will take a break. Toodles
lol FM :)
going for now bye :)
fireworks
wtg josh
Hi
morning, all. things are finally back to normal. the new ISP is wonderful, and I'm reorganizing files on my computer. Thank heaven I have online backups of my files.
HJI Angel
angelsong: whose your ISP?
G'd morning again Babblers! Back to continue the first sweep.
Ooh, and congratulations josh! ***now get to bed!*** :p
Good morning everyone, and morning LoriP:):)
Hi jean!!!!!!!!! ***never gets old for me :)***
lol

Yuk. Don't send it her please. Morning carlee
Oh brilliant carleekat, we seldom see that much snow here:)
morning..and bye....time to go shovel so I can get to work...
only up in the North of England
120 foot driveway..dble wide...and its mine to shovel....ttfn
happy shovelling.
bye carleekat have fun:)
Hello everyone. Another big grid. Yesterday was a day of relative rest.
hello Scrabbler:)
G'd morning Scrabbler. :) Nice grid so far.
back for a bit :)
and perfect timing, scrabs, I have a question for you *angelic innocent spaniel eyes*
You getting a 'Head' start today? ;p
I don't know much about spaniels though.
wb Ata. Hobbit subdued for now?
hello Atalante:)
I don't think anyone does. They are a world unto themselves
yep - she ate a dogfish intestine
Great source of protein...*GAG*
but quick question - is there any way to search for specialists in the US that deal with certain specialities (ie weirdo autoimmune conditions!)
Ahh, then hobbit's life is now whole. Unlike the net mangling shark.
I would go to the Cleveland Clinic or NYU or Mayo Clinic--major medical hubs. What city would be easiest to go to?
West coast? I know you go to oregon a lot.
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!
What about Cedars -Sinai Scrabbler?
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.
Yes, west coast: UCLA, UCSF, among many.
coming away from the grid for a while bb
Pop off an e-mail Ata, and I
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!
***stoopid enter key*** I'd be glad to help search
Later jean, great to see ya'.
**looking at Cleveland Clinic site...and my friend is a neurologist there too**
imiised what you were searching for but i would like to help your search
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
ive done much medical research in regards to my daughter
Ata, if your Health system is like ours, you have to advocate and be aggressive, or they'll surrender quickly.
I may surprise you Ata. Totally up to you, but I'm glad to help if I can.
With #3 and his vision problem, I kicked ass from here to there until he got help.
Hi Looney--my middle name is Looney
nice to meet you
Ata, what about insurance coverage for her in the US?
My outlook is looney! G'd morning
my daughter had an immune disorder
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
i spent forever looking
lol, it's always Lupus on house. :)
Searching medical papers is a good start. Seeking dr's theories and clinical trials, IMO
maybe we should get her tested for lupus anyway. just to see :P
I'm sorry to hear that looney, I can imagine!
I love when they say Lupus on House. Uni and I latch right on to it.... :p
what are the symptoms
what country are you in Looney, if you don't mind saying.
I spent yesterday evening looking through medical papers, and bookmarked a few to go back through over the next few days
Hi all!
G'd morning red
im in the us. houston tx
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!!!!
Another place, Ata, is Mount Sinai in NYC--we send kids there that have complex allergy/immunology issues.
Thanks Looney, appreciate that. Isn't Texas somewhat laden with good Medical Centers as well?
*writes down*
Hi red
yes we have some of the best here
hi Scrabbler
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*!
I also might suggest you scour blogs as well.
Is there any place in Europe that is better than what you are getting now, Ata?
oooooo good idea!
have they tested her for lymes disease yet?
I imagine you've already been here http://www.immunetolerance.org/researc h/autoimmune/
I'm looking, Scrabs, I'm working through france at the moment!
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.
good morning everyone;)
it's a brilliant idea, lori!
Also: National Institutes of Health in US.
Hi Crossy!!!!!!!!!!
I know the German health system is meant to be very good, I'm going there next!
Hi Crossy
G'd morning cross. Feeling better and betterer every day?
does she ever get what lookls like a blister from a burn on her and then the skin peels away?
indeed lori:) and i get my results tommorow:)
BRB--getting breakfast and another cup of tea
I am also coming back, gotta get some coffee into me...
not *yet*. I'm sure she will at some point!
Excelelnt cross, I'm sure we're all rubbing 'yer back and holding our breath with you. :)
here? http://www3.niaid.nih.gov/topics/autoi mmune/
***inappropriately giggles every time she sees Lupus***
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
oh so do I, Lori
"get an LP!
atalante..... have her tested for LYMES DISEASE
you goggle cause you think/lupislupine and see my pretty lil wolf icon;0
goggle?...giggle
if the test comes back negative have it done again
we don't really have Lymes Disease over here, looney. but I guess we could try anyway, they have ticks in france
didnt have lymes diseasw where we wre eith or so they thouoght
can't that be treated with antibios though?
we get something like it out west,rocky mtn spotted fever from wood tics or so ive heard
my doctor did the test 3 times before he got a positive
it doesnt always respond to the testing
it would be unusual for someone not in the US to have lymes.
its a very trickey thing that attacks the immune system
Lyme disease etsts routinely produce false negatives.
I had rockey mt Spotted fever crossy....it was a horrific thingy.
yes they do lori
i can just imagine it was red
my daughter developed allerges that wee life threatning had the blister burns looking things on her face and arms and chest
had trouble fighting infections
Lyme disease was confirmed in Nova Scotia a few years ago. People still remain very unaware of where it exists in Canada.
joint problems
just a multple of things
but the thing is, once you start on the Meds i really got better quickly.
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.
i never saw the bulls eye type rash on my daughter
and she's been on at least 4 types of antibios for over 10 years now, I think one might have got it
i think im almost seeing the word for the instrument that detects radiation,but im not sure..might be a phantom...:/
phantom, crossy--E and R do not touch
Has she ever had a period of grace Ata? As in, ever symptom free?
nope, she's 35 now and beengetting steadily worse since she was 18
I assume she was tested for HIV, Ata?
thought so scrabbs..i better put the kettle on for sum tea
actually, you know, probably not! HIV testing can't be done here without specific approval
HIV testing wasn't done???? Wow
but with the amount of surgeries she's had, I'm sure the hospitals would know, even if they wouldn't say anything
I'm shocked.
im sitting here stunned at the thought of that test not being done as well
why would they? you don't standradly tested for hiv here
Make sure she gets that test, Ata! And T-cell counts, phagocyte functions, ...BASIC immune functions: T and C cells, complement levels...
Yikes, Ata! If you don't know someone has HIV then you cannot treat someone for HIV.
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....
I dont' think I know anyone who has ever had an HIV test. Apart from Lori now!
i recieved blood products all through that period as well lori and have had the test
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...
Yes, I thought that too, red, she has been ill for 14 yrs.
cross knows. It was peace of mind. For me at least.
looney? are you from tangleword?
True enough Scrabbler, red.
indeed lori,i was run over by a car that year and took 4 pints of blood on board
maybe she did a long time ago, but I don't remember it ...
im from houston texas
*yawn* morning all
I had 5, result of a drunk driving incident. I ahd no choice.
Geez, crossy!
morning jorja
ohthen you never played the game tangleword eh?
ahhhh tangleword.... loved that site
Hi jorjah
G'd morning jorja. ***hands he a coffee for the yawns***
no ihavent sorry
everyone having a good tuesday so far?
Thanks to medical care, we have Lori and Crossy with us today!! Yippee!
another looney lol
oh ok cause there was someone with a name like yours
theres many of us
mmmmmm fresh brewed and just right thanks Lori
not as bad as it sounds scrabbs.right ankle broke,the big bone in my left thigh broke and came out of the skin and a nasty conncussion
jor what was your name ... minw was the same
It's good so far, jorjah, but then I have to work from 8:30-8 and will lose my mind!!!
lol Scrabbler, believe me, I'm grateful for every single day my feet hit the floor.
people knock the med system,but i would not be sitting here today without them:)
Sounds absolutely AWFUL to me, Crossy, but, yes, it could have been worse.
Mine was the same too.... You ever here from
Fire?
am to pm Scrab?
there is a site called cobradragon the game now is called serpentine
life has been interesting so far;)
still not awake good... that was supposed to read... you ever hear from FIre?
no haven't
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.
tytytytytyty
lol jorja! you have to flesh out that profile a tad.it is a bit...sparse;/
Yep, a very long day, and then I am on call. I will eagerly come back here tonight.
Another day of hand holding and placating Scrabbler?
o dont know how you docs do it day after day tbh scrabbs
Have a great day Scrabbler...
brb
Yep, and explaining why antibiotics are not needed for Junior's cold and cough.
yup nothing like creating super bugs;((
I can stay a few more minutes, I was just stating what I have to look forward too.
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...
lol same here, lori
But, Crossy, the Mad Momma's KNOW that the antibiotic is necessary or else Junior won't get better.
crossy looks out the window....and sees 2 feet of snow:((((
People seem somehow offended that their chidl ahs a totally ordinary illness that will go away on its own. Everybody wants a magic wand.
good morning everyone - have a few minutes before I have to go off into the other world
***Lori is glad she's not lookin' out crossy's window***
The tough Momma's are the on4 that challenge me and demand an antibiotic, despite my explanations.
the other world looks mean today jbv;(
G'd mornign JBV. ***what is this other world of which you speak?*** :)
Hi JBV (JBV and husband)--doing OK?
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
We have about 5 inches of snow and it is 24 degrees F here.
hi, scrabs, thanks- we're counting down to Thursday, tomorrow he will be on "prep" - you know what that means
it is -6 c here atm
brrrrrrrr!!!
Ata... http://www.cihr-irsc.gc.ca/e/25892.htm l
No snow, record cold for Florida...
It's +1 here cross. Right down balmy.... :p
give us the temp so we can giggle red....
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
if we hadn't done it before, that comment would scare me scrabs, :)
oooh ty! *an aside* I love their canada maple leaf logo
AWW CRUD! we cant all fit in the pb
well then take turns
I didn't *smug*
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...
McGill Uni was where I was thinking of Ata.
ill bring the bacon,you bring the eggs and someone grab some toast
Absolutely JBV!
nooooo no sn**!
**** <- sn**flakes!
sn** is evil. Next to Santa
lolol Ata
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.
ooo heard of McGill. think I know someone who works there
Show them some cool words, like supercalifraglisticexpialidocius.
exactly, Scrabbler, that was on my list of things to tell them - reading is the key
I think I've asked you this b4 Red but I can't remember... where are you from?
and palindromes
jbv i would tell them about words forming woderfull stories in books that can carry you away to places that you have never been to.one boo and your on the moon,and the next book you in a submarine under the ocean.words are the gateway to going anywhere you imagination and the printed page can take you:)
and antidisestablishmentarianism!
I am a resident of NC, but i am working in Florida right now...until April.
And anagrams, and crossword puzzles, and Scrabble!
ok, i'm collecting words, - I have a few of my own,thanks!
these are bilingual kids, so they already have two languages, they have a wonderful advantage
That Santa = Satan. Now ait, they're too young... :)
are you near jacksonville?
and floccinaucinihilipipification
ok, Ata, we'll wait for 5th grade for that one
And meh! Now accepted in the dictionary!
ya'll talking about using different words for some reason reminds me of The Bridge to Terabithia (sp?) wonderful movie
That they could create words that will become part of history!
and riddles - that's one of my earliest memories about how words can be fun
or this word Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwl lllantysiliogogogoch
:-( I have to get ready for work....I wish I could stay here all day, but, oh, I did that on Sunday with that nasty grid. Enjoy the day everyone!
means; "St. Mary's Church in the hollow of white hazel near a rapid whirlpool and the Church of St. Tysilio near the red cave."
tell them what Harry and Potter mean. that people are made of words
hagd Scrab!
I knew that, Crossy.
I can actually *just* about pronounce all that properly
oh, that's good, Ata, thanks
Good luck with 'yer day Scrabbler. We're pullin' for ya'. :)
tc scrabbs and give the bunnies a kiss for me
yay bunnies!
brb have to give the spwanage his second wake up call
***has stero cranked, since all spwanlings are off to a world of higher education***
ok, bye everyone - good luck and see you later
Have a great day JBV
bye jbv...
i used to have a rcord collection and a kick arse sterio..till i got married....sniff:(
Awww poor crossy... sort of.
made me get rid of "those dusty old records filling up the closet" :(
awwwwww
We still play the albums. Allman Brothers,a s we speak.
so now i have 1000 cd,s:)
:) cross
im actually firing up "jay and the americans":) i have a wide range of taste;)
your the one that i love la la...aroooo!
I like it all, but my tolerance for C&W is tenuous at times....
Over an hour, and entered zero words. I love Babble.
for a taste of country that wont hurt your mind lori try "nitty gritty dirt band"
I Looove the nityy gritty dirt band.
lol lori i have 13 words entered so far
lol same here lori. all I seem to say today is "same here lori"
Have some of their albums believe it or not. Tried the Ozark Mountain Daredevils?
I like them as well1
Words are merely a byproduct of Babble. :p
i have one of thiers on disk..think it is a greatest hits compillation
I used to really love all the thanksgiving and christmas commercial and now I really hate them
the best christmas commercial ever made is the coke commercial from the 70,s "id like to teach the world to sing"
Why Jorjah
the kellogs christmas one with santa and that little girl eating cornflakes by the tree and she saying ho-ho-ho is a close second
Oaky, words aren't happening, and y'all have me high on life, so I think I'll grab a shower and go markdown shopping, and try words later. Lator gators!
tc lori:) and carpe diem!
I have to admit, I like the one where the college kid comes home and makes coffe for his family...not realistic, but hey...
Better the moment than the brakes crossy! :p
I accidently bought a pirate ship for my nephew....it is hugE and I have to ship it.
brb
from july 20 07 thru august 14 08 I lost my brother in a car wreck my father in law to cancer and my mother to a screwed up surgery...the commercials just keep reminding me they are gone
Oh Jorjah, thats horrible.
I was the all time christmas person... decorated from top to bottom inside and out... this year it's just not in me...I have to believe one day I will believe in Christmas magic again but I guess it's just too soon. ya know?
it'll come back when it's ready to
hello everyone
I think over time things will change. but it will be different.
Hi Lynnxxx
morning lynx
g'day lyn
hi lynx and stew!
thankfully my youngest is 19, so I don't have to put on fake feelings... they are very understanding
Thats hard to bear Jorg, but time does heal even if it can't go back to what it was.
I really believe that.... one has to or I think I'd just shrivle
up
hi all! just stopping in to check the word count.
Morning Temp
hi TOwl
244
it does, jor, I promise. I had something similar happen to me when I was 18 - 19. nothing's ever gone back to how it was, but i'm no less happy than I was before now
*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
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
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
And in time you will remember only the 'good stuff' and not the painful parting.
crossy that is awesome.
nice Cross
so many good causes...
This year every time i go shopping i get some stuff for food bank. Yesterday Campbells was on sale for 60 cents a can....I went crazy...soup can be a meal.
we are at the stage were none of us here in the house need more electronic junk,so some clothes,one small present from each suffices
I'm so worried about all these people losing jobs...it makes me feel a litle guilty because this contract pays really ell...
soup is a *good* meal!
i always keep at least half a dozen cans of soup in the house as well as the lipton noodle soup in the pouches"the best chicken noodle soup" on the shelf!
then share your sucess forward red;) find those good causes
How is your appetite going Cross?
coming along well lynn;)
i get my final report tommorow;)
Oh yes, I have a bunch of stuff too for the toy drive...
Fingers crossed for another successful outcome Cross and you can get back to normal

Morning Babblers :) I finally have at least one word from each tile
hi Nono!
hurshy, did you get the other 2?
Good morning, Babbletonians.
not yet. i assume they're related? are they weird or normal?
in 7 & 9
Hi Judi
like the en 7 & 9
hurshy they are somewhat normal and much like the en7 and 9
dont worry nono,ive been sailing along here for over an hour and have 23 words;/
hi Judi
they "sound" normal, anyway.
i get all the big point words forst,then just coast;)
oh my crossy.... sounds like you have been socializing more than word searching LOL
ok *looks for the en7 and 9*
guess that means finding both 7-9 combos, then...
what you do on the back of a check?
when you ca4 a check you en7 it
you en***** a cheque and it seems you can also in***** it
got em all -- thanks!
ah thankees
hints for the E in the bottom row?
a big bird eva
one of them is a gerund of a babblet 4 we often have
the american bald ea5
running along the form of ac6 (in pain).
not from that bottom E, i have that already
thanks hurshy!
k bacon sammiches are up! lettuce,toato,mayo,dash of pepper...mmmm http://www.breakfastblogger.com/2007/1 2/16/bacon-weave/
tomato even
there is a huge truck outside that says recycle with... TRASH MASTER
ings everywhere! good morn*** everyone :)
omg crossy that sounds scrumptious
i haven't got the other one, obviously, or i would have clued it too :)
quick! give him all your junk
Wow. A master of trash. How zen.
also, hints for the solo-i tile on the right?
to make particles charged.
good morning... could I have a hint for the ne7 please
duh. thanks. fish me!
the other e from the bottom ec7/40 its a spiney anteater
oho, there's an ne7!
what happened while i slept???? what happened to our nice sweet little grid???
Lol, Kje. It was eaten by this grid.
so, it is THAT mean huh?
not mean just cumbersome I think
the first 200 were easy...
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
ty kje :)
bother, alcohol words are so unfair to us teetotallers
I was thinking the same thing Hursy
That sounds perfectly disgusting. But, I still have no idea what the ne7 is.
but there are other advantages you guys have... like not having to juggle a glass of wine when you babble : )
google's telling me it's an income tax cocktail.
that description, i mean.
ok lets try this ..... not positve but ***ative + maca**** pasta
ne7 - ne5 prefix for black + **ts are baby lice
That's a clue I can understand! Ty!
ooh i found it on a gin recipes website!
ty KJE!
yw
lol hurshy
wow... I found one of the 9s... all by myself
Yuck. Gin.
gin tastes like a christmas tree.]
There are only two, LadyN. Hope you got them both.
Lady the other one is almost the same just change first vowel
and people wonder why i don't drink...
I do not like gin... but i bet it would be good with vodka
Why ruin perfectly good vodka?
if you made it with vodka, you'd have to call it a ne****ov instead
LOL judi
Cannot imagine drinking a
christmas tree
True, BR. That would be prickly on the throat.
my cats ALWAYS try to drink the water the christmas tree stands in... maybe they'd like gin.
more like turpentine BR
LOL hursh
Mine too, hurshy! It must be a cat thing. Tastes like the wild outdoors.
Stop mentioning the g word.....the plural is in the grid
I try to stay away from turpentine too
argh... I have to stop, but this is such an easy grid to get on a roll
i'm having trouble with the upper G. what do we have in the way of GN's, if anything?
There's "gorn", hurshy. But it's not accepting monsters from Star Trek today.
no gn
clues for the bottom e?
i know, i always try gorn and dorn (michael)...
ea bald
that is from the middle E
oh...a fish!
one bottom E is like ac6 (in pain)
no babs, not a fish, a BIRD
(haha)
thanks hursh!
the other bottom e is a spiny anteater
ec 7 --- add neither ***e nor hair and NAFTA's continent abbr

Sounds good, Crossy. Did she share with you?
did she pick out the mushrooms?
don't like peppers or eggs
nope..i actually dont like peppers..im having my blt weave;)

she loves shrooms hurshy
I like peppers, but I'd have to say bacon trumps veggies any day.
shrooms?!
dont like eggs?!!!m good grief when i finaly kick off im being buried with a dozen!
kje, what about caviar?
nope just canned hurshy..all i had on hand
*ponders dead crossy omelet*

AND legend.
word stats tracks how many of each word length you've found
ooops
roe roe roe your bag, gently down the stream. Catch a fish and smack yourself. Life is but a dream.
hi trif... welcome to babble... the tile stats are how many words begin with that letter in the grid
there are 101 4 letter words in this puzzle
*hides in PB*
another good place to start, trif, is the help section above the chat log bog
Thanks, hurshy!
poof!
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!
also, when you get stuck, you can get hints from Lickety's babble Clues below the grid
oooh, hurshy, thank you....you are a le6
I have read the help section, but it doesn't explain everything....or mention Lickety's list! :)
lickety's list isn't an official babble site. its just a really nice thing lickety did to help. :)
scroll down and you will find Lickety's Babble Clues
hi annie
hi annie
or you can just wait for me to absentmindedly say words

hey, babs :-)
hi, love your cute dog!
oodle, you said you'd been really busy---just asking if you'd finished what you'd been working on . . .
alguien para espanol?
thanks, Babs--that's my baby, Shelby
no I said you
ooohhhh! so cute!
oohhh, sorry--read too quickly! :-)
if YOU were busy this past weekend cause I did not see you
was here some on Saturday -- not much--was out of town during the day
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?
it's snowing here
-5C
brrrr!
yikes, no . . . but the people who fostered another of my dogs before I got her treated her "naturally" for Heartworm and it worked . . .
sleighbell ring . . .are ya listening . . . in the lane . . . sn** is glistening . . .
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
ne 7 -- abbr for not positive and He stuck a feather in his hat: And called it maca****; pl
how many words today?
244
babs...borax peroxide mixture sounds harsh... not sure about dog skin, but on human skin, that would cause more problems than good
244
thanks rabble
Mange does tend to be seasonal. We had to dip our dog three times this summer.
well...you dilute with 1% solution of peroxide and water
thanks, Uneaixoise
I don't think Borax can be considered a "natural" remedy.
What was the heartworm remedy?
for what, BR?
sorry, judi, don't remember . . . but when I got her they assured me she was heartworm-free and my vet agreed :-)
i finished yesterday's grid with no list and watching chat
Interesting, Une. Not that we've ever had that problem, thank goodness.
bye, dear babblers
judi, here' s my heartworm-free girl :-)
bye, annie!
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
good morning all, bye Annie
bye annie
morning, flosey :-)
hi flosey
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.
hi flosey
good idea! :-)
ew
"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.
how much is 500 cc?
hey... just realized annie is in the grid
it's like she never left
:-D
ae please
gotta run . . . BBL . . . byeeee

Hi, Haz. Have you been lurking?
?
ty
Silently observing, Judi. Good afternoon/morning all.
Hi Haz
Hello flosey.
hi haz
And oodle.
43 days remaining in 2008
Time to start thinking what New Year's Resolutions not to make.
How peculiar. Winge isnt in the dictionary. Are the British the only people who winge??? Dont answer that anybody!
you have seen signs that say suasages for sale Haz?
I think we whinge.
Brits are the only ones who spell it that way, Deeha. Here in the U.S., we whine.
I've amalgamated one sign saying suasages and another that says sausage's.
Obviously I amn a person who doesnt know her aspirant from her - er - anywhere else
US-ians whine, UK-ers whinge. My son does both, as well as whimpering, grousing, grumping, grouching, pouting, and peeving.
too funny
This child can't be considered for Kid of GLory status if he behaves like that.
When he's good he's very very good...
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?
And when he's bad, he's pretty annoying.
too funny vicuna
brb
Is he good most of the time? He may be back in the running if that's the case.
Theriously?
Thomeone threw them hither and thither.
*blinks* Somehow, I'm down to 39. Thuper duper!
You're on a roll!
butter
Time for a break. BBL, hipsters.
See you later, Judi.
the world is not right.
The title of a new Bond movie?
Back. So, yes, the Son of Glory is a child of sterling genius, endowed with all virtues. Which he occasionally declines to practice.
an invasion by the flat earth society
We'll keep an eye on that boy, Vicuna, he may be destined for greatness.
Absolutely, Haz. If we can all survive that long.
Just think. You still have the teenage years to come.
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.
haz I love spaniels especially the chocolate ones
Spaniel lovers unite!
:-D
And do you wear your rose-tinted glasses most of the time, Vi?
I don't know what you're talking about, Haz.
There's no answer to that.
hey all
Hello bf.
hi bf
good afternoon everyone
Hello jacq.
may i ask how the grid is and how many words today?
hey Haz
244 words today and a nice grid.
i just found a 9
"impressed with self"
ty Haz
dorse
There's another, practically the same.
oooops
2 9 letters, 6 8 letter words.
ty and ty for the clue to the other 9
You're welcome.
i see gangrene in the grid lol
no r in grid. too bad. would be 400 words.
There is an r.
would make it an interesting ordeal
HAZ, popped in for a min to find the second 9. Thanks SOOOOO much' On with the work til later
not in the right place lol
You're welcome, Pat - have a good day at work.
oops yes r on first line. sorry.
*whimper*
Spit it out, hurshy.
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
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
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
So, things are out of your control?
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
yes, things are out of my control. (assumes haz is admonishing her thereby to not worry)
No, just trying to establish your state of mind.
sounds stressful, very stressful hurshy
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.
The most frustrating sort of worry is when you can't do a lot to stop things happening.
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
i agree with Haz
You're a wise woman, jacq.
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.
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.
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
*yaawwnnn*
*creating
yes, she knows about all the legal things. more than i do.
I hope you covered your mouth, Ata.
That's good. It's not as though you're trying to hoodwink her or take advantage of her position.
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
have the ec6... anyone know what the other E is from that middle bottom row?
yes, i think she is not yet sure what she will want.
e + greek X + e*** st. vincent millay
ec7/40 comes from there.
spiny anteater kje
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
ok taking a break bbl
TY hursh... would never have monkeyed that
hi ruru
and hursh... love that you used a peot in your clue : )
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
nods, i undestand your concerns
but i would say something if they don't come to their senses, which they probably will anyway.
brb laundry
ca 6/21 7 coombo?
spiny anteater!!!
that is a **** ** point (an excellent example)
ruru, add not out to the end of your holiday clothes carrier, then plural for ca7.
well...hello red... am I the ONLY person who does not know that anteater?
I had to google it kj
ty haz
You're welcome.
i am stuck with 31 to go
stuck stuck stuck
Temporarily unable to proceed.
So, Haz, I see you survived last night?
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.
oh yes! how was it?
what was last night that haz had to survive?
I survived, indeed I did.
And did you thrive?
well, Ihave 136 left....but I took a nap at 9 am for some unknown reason.
I was doing a demo on table settings etc for Christmas. It turned out to be fun.
thank you haz got them
oooh, sounds neat
(the cutest puppycam in the world: http://tinyurl.com/5ujhmx)
That actually sounds fun Haz. though the people ho came who wewre they?
hurshy, if you're feeling anxious, don't let it eat you up. Go and see about it.
no sparkly frou frou?
Ladies at a local WI - they were very friendly so I didn't feel too intimidated.
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.
Hurshy, if you think it might involve your medication, see your doctor!
Ata, have you seen this story? http://tinyurl.com/6l5zn2
i need breakfast - bbl
red, I love setting tables so it was right up my street.
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...
I remember seeing a dog on one of those - his owner had built it himself. This one looks very professional!
very! big sturdy wheels
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.
they really cake the makeup on those tv people.
Ata, do you know what breed the puppies are on the puppy cam
shiba inu
and they are *adorable*!
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...
any time I'm feeling grumpy, I take a look at them and immediately cheer up
She's probably never smoked and drinks 300 litres of water a day.
she'd be dead then
yes Anne is very pretty, her trek up Kilamanjero is very ambitious
I'm exaggerating, for effect.
LOL. Well, I am impressed. She is "well preserved"...
And Kili thingy is in Tanzania.
She must wear sunscreen.
big effect :D
I know she is of oriental disent
This is true, I always think of Kili in Kenya. No matter what.
Mt Kenya is in Kenya :P
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.
dor s
TY kklin!
if anyone is interested, here is a youtube video about a "young" ann curry: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v= Iy3LtJUQvik
Thanks Eva!
hmmm all the words seem to have vanished mfrom the grid
would love clues for the 9 letter words. dont have either...
and have only one of the 8s.
EN7-9 combo, similar iN 7-9 combo
Eva, that video, she appears to have not aged at all!!!
Afternoon all Back for another hunt for words.
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.
Hi Ata :) Hi red, EvaN et al!
eva if you have further clues i would love them.
Good afternoon FMitch.
hi FM!
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!
Hello Haz!
EN7 = signing the back of a check
she has said many times that she was fortunate in her gene pool...
yes, she is gorgeous.
ty ty. got it.
wow
Am I the only one pulling teeth in this grid ... not always, but sometimes?
Off trots kje to the PB.
I must eat lunch...I am lazing away the day.
got the en nine. how bout the in 7 and 9?
sounds like a good way to spend the day red
damn
got the en 7 also.
same thing.
how can "I'm a Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here" be called that? where are the celebrities?
ty ty
oh so silly. got the in words. ty ty
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**
Even the celebrities don't know who each other is.
do they lock them in boxes, ata? i like that idea... lock them in a box and lose the key
can anyone clue the or6/27 - before the wild parties plz?
any other clues for the 8s? i have only le 8.
me too. I don't even know who they are. apart from martina and george takei.
Good idea kje!
VERY good idea!
and Esther Rantzem and Kilroy Silk
or 6 starts with the same four letters as the parties
or6/27 - Begin like the wild party, (four letters) end with the first letters of the teenage skin condition.
is she in there? goodness me. how terrifying!
ah! Tahnks for that.
You're welcome, Sandie.
the only of those names i recognize it martina
Yes, and you'd think she'd have the wit to stay at home.
George thingy was Sulu (?) in Star Trek
maybe she needs the money?
and they arent' even getting paid that much this time round. well, because they arent *celebrities*!
are they C list or lower? *grin*
about P list I think
LOL
The se 8 is a vessel is worthy of traveling on the ocean
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.
if you have, I have been too
Same here Haz apart from substitute web for newspaper
Some time soon, hopefully, reality TV makers will think of something better to do.
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.
Congratulations Merk.
any ao?
I mean the ing/s.
'reality shows and something better' will never be seen in the same sentence I'm afraid!
Thank you. I did have to finally use the grid. There were a few challenges to my brain ... keeps the cobwebs out.
No ao words.
Off to the PB Merk
I'm an optimist, FMitch.
woohoo merk!!!!
hi beautiful babblers.. happy babbling... I am back
i do like the top chef and the project runway reality shows, but those are sort of copetitions of talented people, not people acting like idiots.
that's the greeting i like oodles : )
Hello oodle.
See y'all tomorrow. tata
Hi oodle
I love Project Catwalk (our version of PR). Project Runway too
I just dont see the point to the people running about continents acting liek idiots.
sothe alternate word for an afro american is not acceptable eh?
guess they don't use derogatory words
enable does. a lot. just not that one
Bye Merk
hi all!
can't believe enable doesn't accept winge!
hi all!
Hello TO! Nice to see you.
i have en9 but what is the other 9 word please
hi to
Don't whinge, Ata.
in9 - essentially the same oodle
I think it needs an h Ata Hey TO!
ty kje
and ty -for in 9!
hi to
hmmph. I always spell it winge LOL. enable knows nothing :P
stop whinging ;)
Then you need to learn to spell it properly. It's whinge.
ok, I believe you. Just.
I've checked!
are you trying to spell: whine
*grins* ok I really believe you:P
No, we know how to spell whine. This is a variation, to whinge. It means the same thing.
don't think I should believe FM though
the last se 5'14?
*smacks Atas legs*
how is it pronounced?
winge!
se5/14 - se plus an anagram of mother's ruin or the gerund
To rhyme with hi5/16 - but with a very strong h sound at the beginning.
Oooh, FM's getting violent!
ty haz
she always does *points to bruises*
LOL
just keeping the whinging child in order
thanks
Proper order. None of this reasoning nonsense.
You're welcome, ruru.
Hi ruru!
se8/60 anyone plz?
kje have you really been to india? or the other flags you have posted
se8/60 - describes a boat that is fit to do something more than sail on a pond
some yes, others no
Oh of course - I KNEW it had to start with the ocean but couldn't see it all!
the last place i was at that i have been at was cyprus... since heading east it is all fake
Glad you found it, Sandie.
ae 5 is it fishy
yes
It's been in before.
ae + army dudes and plural

You'll catch up, elder, but don't overdo things.
Fmitch, just over 1,000. still trudging through them.
Oh, Mrs Popular!
Oh wow!!

Hi and bye stid
pay attention stid!!!
lol stid has her priorities traight. Hi stid ***waves quietly***
hello and bye Stid.
Ata how was your sister when you saw her ?
2
alive :) grumpy and fed up though
Go kje Go !!
1
I bet she was pleased to see you though :)
No wonder Ata.
0 - my last one was a missed plural... hmmmrph
she always is, it's just someone *different* for her to see, if nothing else!
Congratualtions kje!
Ata, poor lass.
She can't give up Ata. The answer is there.
yes, it is. it'll depend on whether her body keeps going long enough for it to be found
later... good luck all still working on the grid
Congrats kje!
take care kje, Nice job!
Well done ! kje.
All good wishes and prayers winging their way to Atas sister
well done kje
we just need to find a doctor that's interested enough in her conditions to be pro-active about treating her!
I'm back to finish this sucker. *rolls up sleeves*
Hi Judi
wb Judi. Ata, she has you to advocate, taht's 1/2 the battle!
Well said Lori
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
Wounds are gross. A lot of people are bothered by doing that stuff. Not me though. She's lucky to have you.
it really is disgusting. but I've seen worse, and disgusting doesn't bother me!
Muh god, finished the a. Thought I ahd entered the ai word. Apparently not....
Is she confined to bed ?
kind of. officially, yes. unofficially, she ignores that as much as possible
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.
At least she still has fight in her, Im sure that will keep her going
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
Set up a blog, as well as reading them. i guarantee someone can relate to her.
that's another good idea
Oh, and I officially hate the letetr G.
me too
Ata, I thought you may have, sorry. Good idea LoriP.
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!
7 g's still mising. Ack
Spawnlings will be home soon, they'll think I sat here all day wrestling with this grid. lololol
lololol you didn't?
And now its time for me to rattle pans in the kitchen and pretend that Im cooking !! ((((((((Ata)))))))) See you all tomorrow, bye
Ata, I wonder if he has tried the 'net' to discuss.
Bye cait.
Have a good day caitlyn!
***shoots Ata 'the look'*** :p
LoriP. I cannot imagine why they would think that.
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
of course not.
so when he says he's out of ideas, it's rather worrying!!
.. and my layman thoughts would not have helped. you are doing all you can.
oh they do, elder! any thoughts help!
elder, you never know where a good idea can lead. Anything can help.
exactly!
Are the w's normal? I'm missing 3
One feels so useless when one hears of hears of sad situations that are happening to people here.
yes, pretty normal
Lorip, pretty much normal.
me too, elder. all we can do is be here to listen!
I've had inspiration come in the stranegst ways, from totally ordinary situations.
((((Atalante and sister)))) *still lurking*
***I have PMS, don't make me feel sappy*** :p
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!
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
Ata, it must be so hard..
all of us looking after her phone each other up when she's in the bath / asleep etc and whine and screech LOL
It's a balncing act Ata, we're all human.
Doh!!!! hot dogs and a hair piece. ***sigh***
Spawnlings, brb
Ata, good that you and others can let off steam , its healthy.
LoriP. hot dogs and hair piece , strange eating habits.
Finito. Finally!
hello all
ty lori, missed the hot dogs
Well done !1 Judi.
elder, got the hot dogs and hair piece, but strange eating habits I did not
hello again Peri.
wtg judi !!! ~~~ !!!
peri, the habit was not a clue.
oh, ok, LOL
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.
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
how many more G's can there be in this language..
googles of them! lol
Delayed congratulations Judi!
I am missing lots of G words
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....
I only have 6 ga's, are there more?
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.
I have 6 ga words, but I am still missing many g words
Enjoy the erst of 'yer day Judi
***does tiny happy dance because spawnlings went to a neighbor's house to paly for an hour***
No where near finishing, but have other stuff to do. Good babbling to you all. Bye.
shindig! is not in the grid
No where near finishing, but have other stuff to do. Good babbling to you all. Bye.
Later elder!
LoriP how lucky is that :)
Bye .. gone.
I wanted shindig too
I have 1 hour to finish, or I may have to list. My day is booked solid after 4 pm
LoriP, my fellow non-cleaner, I just checked the list for both of us. There are 7 ga words
Ack, thought I had the ga's whooped. Thank you fellow non cleaner!
the first is a ga6 do you have that one
so I'm missing loads of non-ga Gs. joy.
me too, Ata
nope, my first is a 4. Merci buckets, now I seek!
hello all, delurking for a bit. the next lecturer is going to show a video I have seen multiple times.
How's the grid?
starting to be annoying
heh, the obvious suffix. Least the ga's are done... Thanks peri
hi there stid, first 100 went fast, now stuck with 115 left
yw, Lori
Official hi stid! :)
So, I tried that suffix in other stoopid spots and got some results. 3 g's left

Just in time for Christmas. Good things to you and yours.
geisha! is not in the grid
it's great to decorate new place!
thank you so much.
How are you and the family?
I think it will be cj
I haven't seen your daughter on babble for some time
I *miss* Uni
She's been so busy.All grown up like, so responsible. She's not like me a't'all. :)
does she clean, Lori?
tell her hello for me, please
wicked good sense of morgue humor that girl ahs. That she did get from me. :p
I bet you taught her everything she knows
she feeds her cat!
lol
I will mom. Life is good. peri, she cleans things. That didn't come from me either, or this daily feeding of pets business either.
LOL, Lori
thanks Lori
since I started doing babble...house has not been up to normal standards
Well, I really cannot blame babble for my untidy apt :D
it happens that way, cj. First the house, then supper gets on the table later and later
grodies! is not a word
mine's just untidy anyway
yup Iknow and hubby just got a later shift so it works out :)
still 104 to find :( taking a break, bbs to finish
I'd love to blame Bable, but I've always been a slob.
that works just fine then cj
bye bye Peri
ok time to dig in still have 148 to go
Later peri. Ack, I've missed the simplest of words....
husband's aunt told me I was disgustimg at the weekend for having an untidy workarea
207 left here cj
see you in a bit peri
that's literally what she said!
oh Ata, that is not polite
She'd just love me to bits then Ata....
I'm still fuming!
did you tell her that was the mark of a creative genius
If you're in my home, and don't like my standards, wipe your feet when you leave same as everyone else! :D
I would tell her if it bothers her to jump in clean then!
I did, mom :P I dont think she believed me lol
That's an incredibly rude thing to say.
yes. absolutely. this is *my* space. I want it like this
Good evening, folks!
good evening Monkey
hi Monkey
hi MG
howdee yonder monkey
What an adorable kitten, Mom!
Missing ONLY 13 s's....

hello everyone
Hi lynxxx
well, i have exactly 100 to go, taking a break. BBL
G'd afternoon Lynx, have a good sleep?
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.
Hi Lynxxx
Later BDG
oh I do. it's just so rude! rudeness annoys me
and THEN! husband agreed wuth her!!!
bbs...
did you elbow him in the stomach, Ata
Grounds for divorce....
hurry back cj
I'd put him on the stupe
Hurry abck cj
no, a few minutes later I decided to go and stay with sister that night!
stoop
I'd be tempted to say "well, at least I am not unsufferably rude..."
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.
keyboard shifted
stupe works too
there are family members that I married into that are like that, all in the name of "being honest"
grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
Found my last g's. Yea!
hooray Lori
yay lori!!!!
d's and s's. poopy
I still need 13 g's. Didn[t have a lot of time earlier (nor now, but I'll burn that brigge when I get to it...)
ge 4/11 and plural, which after years of Babbling I still dunno' what it means.
1. Scorn, derision, or contempt. [Prov. Eng.] 2. An object of scorn; a dupe; a gull. [Obs.]
how appropriate!
I'm so excited that Lickety is back up but is anyone else having trouble with PlayBabble.com?
There! Now I know, if I can actually retain that info. thansk Ata.
Not as such, Beth, but I've been on for five minutes...
G'd afternoon beth, no probs here

Oh, there it is. A variant on Dutch for crazy.
Must be me. I'll try rebooting. Later folks.

I am offended that "gwine" is not a word.
I's gwineter complain
what does gwine mean?
If you were from Oklahoma, you'd know!
(It's just an accent/regionalism joke
It's a way of saying go5/18 ..
ohhhhh :)
I'm missing an 8. I have the le x3, ne, and se--does anyone know what "m missing?
another le8
(And just for the record: Today's Official Phantom is "Asinine")
I know I'm looking right over it but missing 1 A from top left..have ad 5 12, ad 6 21 an4 4 x2 an5 10
ty lynxxx
ad6/21... the 1st word on the list
ty...forgot lickety was back...duh
Is the other le8 also a gerund? ..
have that on though
yes Tor
there are 2 6/21's
Swell ..
ok great
lol
one is a plural, the other is a pretty boy
Ah a homophone ..
ty vm..tile grey finally
Thank you, tor, that was the clue that let me get it at last.
Trade you for an se8 clue ..
se8 compound - fit to go to the ocean
A sailor is a se****** man--compound
*facepalm* I was looking for a way to use se* too .. Thanks!
Almost half way .. yippee ..
yay - got the 9s
hello
help with ne8 please
hi Peri
wgt lynxxx ..hi peri
an italian-sounding cocktail, peri
thanks, Une, got it
are there 4 le8's
i think so--i have 3
yes Peri - all gerund ends
I have 3 too
mine are all gerunds but i think one isn't
oh, ok, sorry
a dog le5 leads to one
have that one, and the two that sound alike
got that one and the slimy thingies
ditto
there is one that sounds like the slimy thingies too
will have to go to the list, getting tired of this grid and still 99 to find
all4 are gerunds, but 1 is a pl gerund
plural of the le7.36 you do when renting a house
brb, making black bean soup
when you rent you sign a le
that must be the one I am missing then
rents! thanks!
yw :)
got it thanks, Ata
ty for the le slimy things...totally missed it
and cjmomma
the plural gerunds are kinda weird, eh?
there is more than one plural gerund?
yep
yep
ag6/30 is a plural gerund
arrrggghhhh!
thanks Une, never would have thought to add an s there
and go6/30 too
see what i mean? weird!
go6.30 is one too, though more obvious
well I will try to add an s to every gerund that I find :P
taking a break...bbs
just went thru my list trying that! LOL
later, momma
still 60 left, BBL, looking forward to along walk

hi all
hey, carlee!
hi carlee
how is everyone today?
ok, and you? :-)
i am freakin sore... we had a foot of snow dumped on us last nite
good!
i had to shovel my way out before work
3 hours it took me to shovel
wow
am bloody happy I have 4WD....so many cars in the ditch this am
caught the city off guard..nothign was plowed
and i think my next bottler just arrived...
yeap
back in 20 or so
hi all
Hi everyone
hi TO!
hi Katie!
hi katie hi ata
Heyas all ..
hi tor
hi tor
Diabolical grid today ..
oh yes
ahh wish I had known that before I started!!
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
replacement?
yes. my current job is being upgraded and i don't qualify.
hello all.
oh nice! gah!
oh oh TO... you're not being downsized???
no. just put out of all hope of promotion.
oh! oh! Lickety is BACK!!!!
seriously? have they given you another job?
i should be thankful -many would like to have my job
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!
That blows ..
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
Do you have a job still TO?
yes.
if i leave suddenly it's because the meeting broke up.
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.
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
don't do more than you are paid to do!
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...
exactly Ata
that's the trouble; it's an amorphous position, i am an analyst i don't have set duties
ooh poor stiddy!
stid can you get notes from the others?
yes, but it won't be the same...
the slides will be online by tomorrow for sure.
I know I'm sorry you had to miss it
at least I was able to go to the lab for an hour and work quietly... though the migraine didn't go away so I came home.
thanks for the sympathy, friends.
the i in the fourth column is killing me...
io6, TO
yes, I see what you mean TO
they are all kikking me
ty
LOL @katie
aha! a british spelling! of course! *banging head on keyboard*
see ata and katie it's all your fault!
proper spelling :P
didn't realise my mistake :-)
:P
(didn't say it wasn't proper....) ;-)
FM's fault, you mean!
the n above that i is also a killer
Yep FMs fault
what is the second letter of the K word please?
poor poor FM... *shaking head sadly*
h
thanks atalante... was afraid you'd say that
well has queen haz agreed that f mpass the mantle on at the end of the year?
but it's an easy word at least
no. we agreed that FM was just trying to weasel out of her responsibilities
No she didn't :-)
ok..back...
i amSo tired
and no end in site
(((((carleeeeee)))))
can someon eplease clue the n words from the fourth column? ty
FM tried to push off the responsibility to katie!
FM is so good at it, it would be a shame to take it way from her
outrageous!
***dble back flip with a 1 1/2 twist*** HI Stiddy!!!
That's why she has no support here for trying to get out of it!
but, I think katie would be good at it too... *hides in corner*
we all told her to stop whining and face up to her responsibilities!
what did FM do/ not do now?
Lol stid, I can't be self absorbed and be blamed for everything as well it would be too much to cope with
stop whining or whinging ata?
n clues please? i am whinging now!
This time it was a British Spelling of a word
whining at that point
MOnkeygames, it's me, Trifioso the noob - Guess what? I got fireworks yesterday!!! YAY ME!!!!!
congrats for yesterday Trif
ok..well I am WHINGING....cus I am freakin sore from shovelling driveway

hello... just popped in to change my icon to tomorrow's theme
it's a miserable gird anyway carlee
good thinking, carlee. I wouldn't have started, but Atalante was online, and .... *points finger at katie and FM* it's someone else's fault!
hello kje!
kim that is hilarious and oddly disturbing at the same time
I am finding the tile stats amazingly helpful, but maddening too. Are they helpful to others?
your icon, i mean
halleluja!
what is tomorrow's theme?
hi folks!
absolutely helpful trif
hello k21!
favorite punctuation mark...
hi TO :)
hi ks21

I got it first TO!!!
just starting to get back into now that my head is back on straight
yes, crooked heads are a nuisance, mymuse
ok my first 8
go muse go!
woohoo muse
guillemets are another good choice TO
mostly cuz it is a cool word
I like the stats, trif... they help me see what I need to look for. great time-saver
guillemots.. i think
hello ruru
yep ruru
pigeon guillemots
ah. the no 5 is what triggered the migraine today... *sigh* almost to halfway, then will lie down
hi ruru, Ata :)
they are really cool birds ...
grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr an employer called me yesterday cause he was interested in my resumée... I wasn't here... I called him twice today only to find out that he filled the position... oh I could have cussed him out
hello oodles!!!
hey all
oh, that is too bad.
no... i meant guillemets... a punctuation mark
hey bf!
hi beautiful babblers happy babbling
oh, no, oodles!!
keep trying oodles
how are we all
that is the third time this has happened
? really.. you are so smart..never heard of that before...
Guillemets (pronounced /ˈɡɪlÉ™mÉ›t/, or /É¡iËəˈmeɪ/ after French [É¡ijmÉ›]), 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.
cell phone, oodles?
thanks stic!!! Sorry about your migraine though....
(redo the resume) they have to be perfect nowadays
ohhh. guillem*o*ts are the birdies
what about a cell phone?
maybe if you had a cell phone, you wouldn't be "out" when prospective employers call...
I know that people around here do that a lot
oh that's true
but I hate them
they get a pre-paid phone that they can give the number out JUST to the employers
did you finish kje?
yes ruru
long after you
I don't "like" cell phones, but living where we do with the kids going to school in town, they do come in handy
bad habit you have lately of finishing first : )
there. past halfway. Time for a nap... *grump* back later perhaps if I can.
I started last night and you didn't...
*poof*
that is another expense though
see you later stid, hope the head gets better
ok bbye stid
I know bad..bad habit..
I love my cell phone... don't know what I would have done without it the day I jumped off the porch and broke my ankle as I was alone... thank god i had my cell phone in my bag
got to run see some of you later
bye ru
ohmygod, kje!
omg
i was so stunned it took me several minutes to realize i had the phone and call 911... but was very thankful once i did
yikes kje! Very good luck you had it on you!
brb
owww, kje ... when was that?
Dec 30th last year... went to the OR on Jan 1, 2008

ec7 looks like a porcupine
night owl
Spiny anteater ..
e + greek letter + genetic carrier initials
thank you
the guidance counselor needs the se8 to get through the night. (clue please?)
Waterborne ..
se 8 - like a sturdy vessel... or a sailor about to leave
and the se8 will not help the guidance counselor as much as an ne7 - LOL
se + vowel +go 5/18
kind of fishworthy, that se.. thanks
yw
hello tor
Heya ..

***starts babbling***
Yaaaay Dorens.

I thought today as favorite cheese day? Am I off?
oh, crikey....I already had that one! :) TY anyway...
treadmil and read
I still have 106 left...lol
104 here
treadmill Dorens, always a good choice. Put on some exciting 60s music.
going to be hard to think about dinner and babble at same time :)
Is reading ON the treadmill and option Dorens?
Right I'm off to bed now. See you all tomorrow, take care :-)
good night katie!
night
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
gnite Katie
73 left here...
night katie
good night katie
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.
oh crap
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
just realized one of my earrings is gone
and i only exercise cause i know i need to, not cause i like to
What about walking outside?
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?
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.
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....
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.
back for a few more

afternoon all
hello all, back to find my last 89 words
FIRST AD 6/21 please
time to run (literally.. thanks red) happy babbling all
hi peri
hi Babblers.. back to finish up (i hope).. fun grid, but short on time today
KAZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
HI peri
it is pointless...
Hi Aloy. are you freezing like me????
Go Dorens go!
hey MLF
oh nooo, you didn't find it kje?
mlfan - AD 6 is a handsome man
ah no, sorry about that kj
yes, red.. chilly bumps all day.. and tonight will be brrrr I hear
i chechked my house and car... but i have been all over today and I'm not sure at what point i lost it
Oh kje...onders here it has rolled off to
I went simming today aloy but it was cold cold cold...
eerrr swimming.
flos... if you like st andre, i have a cheese you will like even better!
hey & hugggggggsssssss y'all
Trif i am lost no idea
NANCE!
braver than I , red! No way!
FAN!
i use to love the st andre, but then it seemed to change and the cheese monger said they moved the production site to a larger facility due to increased demand and it changed the cheese
Yes, the first few minutes were, uh, refreshing.
nance are you enjoying the warm weather tonight?lol
Okey dokey MLF lets' see....do you want me to just sort of spell it, or keep giving clues?
wow, have i missed that gerund ending on a bunch of words!
brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr yes - lol
thank god i am not in it but hubby isl. very windy today too
Trif clue please lol
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.....
not a plural?
not a plural, but it looks like one
but not an actual plural, no....
you can do it MLF!
haha right
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
did you get it?
it would have been a crazy grid if Y had been in the mix.
ty, kje.. found out a bit late, but I'll try to remember.. flying through now
no but i got the EN 9 lol
OK... gonna go pout a bit at my lost earring ... later
bye kje...
well I didn't....share the love....
aw, sorry about that kje.. hope it shows up! take care.
just realized there are no T's in the grid
do you have the EN 7/32 Tri?
I have a 7/36...
an I seeing the list correctly...18 ag's?
Tri when you sign something. .you en***** and the putan ending on that word but take out last vowel
oooh - got both now! Thanks for the tip
not on tthe 7/36 but the 7/32 EN
okay, how can I help you with the AD thing, other than just spelling it....
ummmm
cj i am working on them now i only have 2 loo
lol
tri is it similar to the other 6/21?
I have 6...but 18...really
the first 3 are the same
Tri the AD 5/6 Go together
got a few more...this is odd
ok, i am new, i dont get the #/# thing, someone explain
i mean the second 6/21 goes with the AD 5
like the AD 5 or 6/21, wat is that?
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
kuman did you read about the game?
its letters and points
Hi samantha
no, sry
kazz??????
So "AD 5" and "AD 5/21" both signify a fiuve letter word that starts with AD
I only know the first number is how many letters...then it multiplies for points
evening, all. could i get a clue for the ec7/40, please? monkeyed it every which way.
samantha 6/21 lol
Hi there MLF. I'mnot here for long; don't think I have time to finish today.
hello skoo
tomorrow maybe I won't have to Babble and run.. happy Babbling, all.. see you next grid. byee
sorry MLF - was having a run of word finding brilliance there, and all on my own too! Don't have them that often, so wanted to run with it
samantha can you help me with the AD 6/21 the FIRST PLEASE
bye aloy
hi momma!
Tri me too lol
The first 6/21 is a man's name, from mythology, very handome, muscular, same first 3 letters as the other two ad's
Sure. AD + opp. of "off" + form of the word "to be"
skoo....ec + hi + dna
or, sam's clue - MUCH easier to figure out!
GOT IT
sorry to offend....still have 100 to go and couldn't think
good clue samantha
ad ty tri

Hey Stid!
hi Stid! nice to see you. i was lurking earlier..how is your head?
help with ec7
my head still hurts, I am having trouble thinking despite a two-hour nap. So... not as good as I had hoped.
the ec 7 is a relative of the platypus
not sure babble will help :( unless we get your mind off of it
it's like an egg-laying hedgehod
um, hedgehog, I meant
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.
did that help, Luv? or do you need more?
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
helped me! thanx
well, the or 6/24 certainly brightened my outlook, anyway! LOL
the pain is pretty well gone at this point krista, but the disorientation is bothersome
hi everyone, back..still with 76 left

figures I reaturn during head talk, LOL
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!!!
im at 630
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
hello dear pam!
yo how was that concert? im debating it.., bought tix to metallica
hi, red and stid!!!!
we are seeing the Australian Pink Floyd on Monday
weird, red, coffee HELPS my head most of the time....
I am watching House and playing babble
COOOOOL, dr!
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
sounds nice, peri!
we saw them before and really like them... dark side of the moon cover
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.
my phantom is origin
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)
Oh, that stinks, red! Mine are sinus... and barometric...
IMy hormonal headaches are soething else again....
did u like TSO?
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.
wow, red!
but its over!
thank goodness
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
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.
yay found ge
felling older than my 45 yrs...have had so many things wrong and too many surgeries

cases
oops wrong one again sorry
my fave for supporting hormone balance is Plus...been using for 14 years.
mine improved with pill, but that's because I have PCOS and my hormones were/are whacked.
I have been also for 12 yrs but weaning myself off
I don't know what that is Pam
PolyCysticOvarianSyndrome
What is Plus?
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.
I'm in need of clues for di 6/21 and di 7/40...please and ty
still have 75 left...don't think I'll get done tonight :(
sorry, had to take care of something for the kid...
down to 107...

I can't take hormones. they insisted on giving me the estrogen-progesterone combo... but progesterone made me suicidal. So -- no hormones.

I am very happy. I finally finished my paper that I procrastinated on so badly when I had nothing better to do anyway cuz I was just sitting on the couch

Hi Tyger
54 here
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
hey, herin
anything you can't find...simply give the stats of what you're looking for and we'll try to give you a longer clue.
good explanation, pini :)

hey, pam
Thx Tyger ;)
Hii back

pl the 6/27 before it
or the little boat the floats behind a bigger boat

without Lickety, I wouldn't have even tried this grid - too big. but it's not a bad one at all, *with* Lickety
tyger, are you settling in for the winter or moving soon? I can 't recall what you had said about relocating...
isn't the di 6 a plural ends in s
pini, that's a "sounds like" clue

gi 6/30 uses the gerund ending

ga 6 sounds like happy + gerund ending
(see 1st 3 ltrs of word below
the gi6/30 is one of those irritating Scottish dialect words - it's a gerund
yes, phan. go5/18 as robert burns would say it
oops that is the 7
and the ga6 is another Scotch dialect
ga6 is the scottish one
I am not likeing the position of the ing as it is stoping me from inging ing

hello, pors?
and done!
didn't think I'd ever use that term :D
yay, phan
woohoo phan!!!
but it was the best I could think of in a hurry
hey, kje
between writing that paper and this puzzle my brain is fried!
Hey Kje
paper?
tubesteak - LOLOL - never heard that term
Yeah, I had a research paper to write for an english class
oh. topic?
zz top did a song called the tubesteak boogie
a term of derision, as I u nderstand it
well, It was on global warming; I was arguing against it
is that your personal position?
well, apparently i missed the zz top hit there
are you not a zz fan, Kje?
I don't listen to that one anymore, I am much to refined in my old age
they are ok... but do not remember a tubesteak song
try seeing if you can find it on youtube?
*cough cough cough* excuse me... got a little choked over that refined statement
can't recall where I heard it, but it wasn't the song
right now i am listening to brett dennen
now, now, kje. let us be charitable
Tyger, yes it is; as far as it being caused by man
will do that phan
who he?
I got choked too, Kje
well, remind me not to engage you on the subject :P
he is a folk singer... will get you a link - wait a sec
I really don't want to go anyway.
and for the record, I do think that we should take care of our planet and reduce polutants. I just think that climate is cyclical
and that is all I will say
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-9_gYX7 sUbo&feature=related
what kind of folk music, kje? there's quite a broad variety
wait... did you guys get serious while i was away for a sec? knock it off!!! : )
no, she responded to a couple of questions of mine. there is no discussion going on
heck no, not serious
what kind of folk music, kje?
acoustic? genre?
tyger, Kje provided a link, you should listen to it. it sounds nice
fiddle? guitar? lap harp? other?
and other
ok cant get that tube steak clue. any other clues for same word? wi6?
yes, acoustic... based in sf/oakland area...
as in drums
no no no... not bluegrass/folk... more folk/rock
oh i wish i were an oscar meyer we6
except change last letter
hot dog MKG
lol phan... straight to the point... but mine involved singing : )
okay, I listened
that is me, direct and to the point
what did you thin, tyger?
it's what I was afraid of - folk rock
gee got wi words but not we for same word.
oh, I enjoy folk rock, another thing to agree to disagree on huh? ;-)
right. :)
go5 to do other stuff now
night Tyger
phan - see if you like this one
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gAaFObA bBiE
i need help with finding the two words for the bottom e, please
ec - sounds like engraving on glass
help! i still cant get the we word that is oscar meyer stuff...........we? 6? please help. if i do we, i must do two more vowels to get to the hump letter. help?
ec7 - e + greek letter + chromosome initials
sorry mkg, that was a wi6
and the other is ec + to conceal something + anagram of article
there is no we6
there is only 1 WE and it is a 4/8
ok so it is wi. that i have. tyy
ty ty for the clarity and super clues.
i still am not half way. must get a few more and then go to sleep.
Kje, I like that song, but it would be even better if I could understand all the words...
would love clues for the 8 letter words as i only have one and that is le word. need the rest
le 8/60 = add gerund ending to the 5 above it
2 le8 - change 3rd vowel
le 8/60 again add gerund
3 le8s... 1st - blood sucking by a slug
when you travel by boat SE 8/60 (gerund ending)
2nd le8 - change 3rd vowel of below clue
3rd le8 - renting
ne8 - plural of ne 7 a cocktail with vermouth, gin, and bitters
ne 8 = old fashioned word for black people + rice a r* the sanfransico treat
i am going to go find dinner - bbl
ty got the se word.
le 8/50 is plural of the gerund ending before it
le 8/55 gerund ending to word above it
that might be all of them
i am confused by the below. the first le 8 is plural of 7, another word for "rent"........what is other le? same but diff vowels?
ty got the ne..
dont get the gin cocktail one either. sorry, never drink.
2 le 8/60's have gerunds of the word above it/ the blood sucking ones
Le 8/55 = gerund ending on what you use to walk a dog
and then the plural of the renting word
ty got the blood sucking le 8.
still missing one of them.
does that help
there are 2 blood sucking 8's
got the plural of the renting word and blood sucker. what is third le 8?
oooooooooh.
will try.
got the last le 8.
ty
got 4 of the six i need.
which ones do you have?
still missing the ne 8. please reclue. and what is last one? i have 3 le, 1 se, and i have ne 8. so what am i missing?
sorry, have the ne, se and 3 le. missing one.
4 LE 8's
4? what is the last one? i have 2 blood sucking, 1 renting, what is last one?
dog walking, renting, and 2 bloodsucking
dog walking? huh?
what do you hook to a dog if you want to keep him under control?
do you have an LE 5/12?
add gerund to it
have you figured it out?
ty Phan, got the 8's yay...still 51 to go though
mkg....did you get it?
took me a while to figure out which one I was supposed to add onto again
brb
woot!
hi beautiful babblers... happy babbling
hi ooooodles
hello
hi all...
Hello everyone! Evening all.....
hi hi
hi all... how hard is it and can i do it in 2 hours?
some awkward..but doable?
(I think?)
well, might have to give it a go :D
I'll stick around to clue if you need something! ;)
how are you coming along with the grid, Trif?
gi7 plz
gi7? there isn't one...

Hi everyone...still 47 to go but keep getting pulled away :(
sorry....gi6,plz
nice try, MRP!
hi cj...

see the 4 below for the 1st 3 ltrs
someone could be a sweetie and tell me what the most common endings are??
gi 6 = gi + vowel + gerund?
ing
lol
ah, thanks
you just used it in your sentence, MRP...in the 2nd to last word.
sorry forgot supposed to make it proper
ing
sorry, should have said gerung
ty....pink

had*
good night all
night phan! ;)
hello Pink - sorry, I didn't see your note until just now...I am getting through it slowly....113 so far...
?
no worries! keep it up, you can do it!
night phan
If y'all need clues, just ask! ;)
missing 2 g...going through list now
I am trying to get the biggest words I can....I just got an 8, which was pretty cool.
nice work!
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!
there are 2 9-poiners!
thinking both are ge 5,14 ...one in 3 column and 4th column
Do you use Lickety?
sometimes
can i get a list off bab anon? i dont see it where it usually is. is lickety back?
it's only my third crack at one of these....
Lickety is back!
yay
whew!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
cj...do you have the ge5/14 after the lamp resident?
pinikula pinikula pinikula
I am stuck on the 5th word out of 6 for the a at the top left of the grid....bummer
it takes awhile..luckily I have 2 screens..helps me as long as I don't get pulled away
well, keep it up, Trif...
KJE!!!
done?
trif...do you have the greek god?
think it's one I missing
Yes, kje!!! * big grin *
you?
indeed : )
yop. Actually, that was cool - I got to give someone else a hint for it. That felt really good!
congrats to both of you
it was probably me!!! LOL
thx cj
trif...do you have an4/4 ... like licorice?
yup. I just checked the lickety list and it looks like I am missing one of the AN 4/4s
(oh, and Trif...not to suggest that you're not using lickety right...but do you load it with your words?)
the 2 ANs are virtually the same, just change the 2nd vowel
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.
Load it? Do you mean enter the words I get in it? No, I don't do that...should I?
Same here, Teena...
good night beautiful b abblers
Will make it much easier!
Whew! Thank you!!!! Got it!
here, let me give you the synopsis!
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.
hello again all
night oodle
hi stidderooni
are you leaving, oodles?
bye oodle
night oodles-o-fun!!!
hey tea! how's the kiddos?
they are great, thanks for asking
I got down to 46 earlier, took a little break, now ready to try again.
GA 6 please?
first 3 letters of the word following + gerund
thanks pini.
icky gee-eye words today...
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!
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
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...
yes, thanks kje :-D
...I like to find what I can first, then resort to lickety when I'm stuck or ask for clues as needed ;)
oh, yes, you are right about that....
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
gi4/8 (plura; gi5/18) is normally followed by byte. Computer size thingey.
hello jac!

Gs and Hs hacked.
I'm not an insomniac, kje, just a lady who's been awoken by night sweats. I need my 7/8 hours and get them.
Hey, gang, another one is being assimilated!!!!!

man who pops out of magic lamp?
here is a nih link pini... no great data re: benefit although likely some... def no great data re: long term risks/benefits
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.
got that one in the lamp and plural
hm. these last four LE are giving me fits
use first 4 of that one, cj, and double the last vowel
there is a plural of the lamp that is also 5 letters
I'll take a look at the link...thx kje and jac
HYPERVENTILATING - Twilight movie trailer on TV - QUICK someone upload me a lunch bag!!!

thanks jac!
pini, the exclamation point was a good choice for you... you use it a lot
* blush *
I forgot to do that today...head down in shame
isn't a manatee and type of small white whale?
y/w stid.
(that shoulda been "blush!!!!!" )
seacow
or6 (2nd) = is group of people in..."love")

pinki I think the manatee thing starts with du- not le-
or6/27 sounds like a sexfest + ack!

hey, peeps
hye tyger
Hi tyger.

Oh nice! \Poop patrol. Yuck.

Metal heel bit, stid + first 2 letters of a 4-letter word for 'not nasty'.

oops

metal heel bit????
thanks jac *thinking*
Other Half came home very late with a migraine earlier. Bad day at work.
hi abe - do you have one that is computer related?
gi6/30, almost certainly
nope, that didn't work.
there are 2 that are the computer prefix for a billion
gi6.30 is the Scottish word for 'giving'.
yes...its also a medeival dance
gillion, tyger?
this grid is *full* of Scotch dialect
LOL, stiddie
Most grids are, tyger.
how much memory does your computer have, stid? (theoretical question)
well, probably about half, jac - at least of those that are well-endowed with vowels
any help on the ag 6/24?
oh, I have all the G words, just trying to figure out the clue! LOL
gi4/8bytes, she means, Stid.
back...false alarm
and I hope it has more memory than I do. I can't remember where I put the photos I wanted to use for something!
ag6: getting older
down to N4!!!!!
Stid - I'm always losing photos on the computer and in the house.
oops, sorry that's not it
no* off (sleep) + "eye"
ag6/24: a + reproductive information is on g****
go, stid
so still need the first SE 5, have the second.
also need hte se 4/5 after the plural french river
whoop whoop! Thanks!!!
ne4 is a goose, ni4 is a number,
ocean + opp of coming
se5: oranges come in se*ments + it's **ce to see you
aaaaah! *eating musical fish* thanks tyger
Stid - that se is to se** a message or a letter. Fish slap for you!
guess I can't count...I clued the SE8
down to 7
there is no se4/5 right after the River Se5
after the plural there is...
oh, I thought you meant a combo
eek! and jac clued it!
But there is after the plural, which is what Stid said, Tyger.
ok little confused about the list...some words spelled out and not others?
how about the SE 6/7 combo?
yes, a single word. I misunderstood what she wanted
se + not positive (lop off end)
se4/4 before + 1st 2 letters of grandma's nickname
Milkwort, stid.
then pl, stid
thanks tyger *thinking*
we have this one every so often
thanks jac! got it! (never have seen that plant)
oh, geez...forget my clue...it sucked!

SI 5/7 combo please?

* holding poms poms in anticipation *
Under Se*** = movie

sadly, I suck at cluing tonight...
I need help on the WI 6/7 please?
dunno how you manage to work thru a migraine. is it modern meds?
...so I think I'll go find a game of crib or doms for awhile...
bbiab
another word for hot dog
Oh, I wish I were an Oscar Meyer wi
yes, partly the meds, partly it helps me stay awake until it's reasonable to sleep. I took one nap earlier, if I sleep now I will wake in hte middle of hte night
we6/30 = dauchsund or hot dog (then pl)
ah! thanks so much... I feel like wi6 right now
wi 6 and 7 are piggy sausage words in USA, I think, stid.
and with that, I'm off
LOL
yes, we have incendiaries
thanks pini!
thanks all!
pini, how do you do grids? you don't seem to have the spelling ge4 at all
yay, stid
bye pini
it can also be used in the U.S. to specify a weak person or a coward, jac
Well done on getting bombed, stid.
well, I need to go finish something later, all
Can it , stid? I've been learning a new phrase from watching US Wife Swap in recent days... 'step up and be a father!'
see ya later tyger
(saw your comment, tyger...and to answer...at this point, I have NO idea!!!!)
* poof *
Step up, I assume is the USA equivalent of the UK phrase, 'pull your socks up!'
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
yes, pretty much -- it means take charge and stop whining
okay, Tom and I are going to play the wii game together. back tomorrow at some point if I can.
*hugs everyone* thanks for the help and the chat!
*poof*
night stid
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.
he wii rock band game looks fun. (We don't have wii yet.)
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!
OMG. I am never going to sleep again, now that I have found this game, am I????
No Trif, probably not.
I've gotten to that point also Tri...:)
does anyone have a hint for the first hi 6/27?
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.
nice game...
hi + vowel and then the ing
hi6.27 is the plural of the things that keep your door hanging in the frame.
never mind - figured it out alphabetically
OOps, 1st hi6 is the greeting thing.
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...
he's used to me staying up past him, so thats no biggie
cj - the 'our' shows, what are they? For me and my Other Half it's things like 'Bones' and other murder mysteries.
it is why I don't finish all the grids though, we like house and anything funny really
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.
yup mine just changed to later hours though which is why he has complained lately
LOL, MEN!
careful what you pray for....mine just did a runner, and I would LOVE to have him to complain about again....:(
I'm glad I have a good and patient one that accepts me for who and what I am...
tjat
cj you are really, really lucky!
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.
oops, that I do know
what do you write?
Trif - that's a hard thng to go through. I know how you feel, having been there with 2 young children.
All sorts, cjmomma.
All for now though is my blog.
jac - did yours come back? if that's not too personal....
I've always loved to write and been thinking about taking a few courses to refresh me to get into it again..
I'll check out the blog in a bit, gonna sit with hubby for 10 and try to finish grid...bb in 10
:)
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.
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
clue for ac 6?
really tired muscles
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.
